  • Delivery Area Surcharges and Other Parcel Rate Hikes to Watch Out for in 2024
    February 13, 2024 at 12:30 PM

    With the new year well underway, shippers are free from the tyranny of urgent holiday order fulfillment. Now, they can shift their attention to the general rate increases (GRIs) levied by parcel carriers, and focus on mitigating the impact on their shipping costs.

    The 2024 GRI announced by UPS and FedEx came with a headline 5.9% figure — a full percentage point lower than last year. In a vacuum, that might sound like a boon for shippers. But the reality is that 5.9% is still the second-highest GRI of all time, and the true impact to shippers is much higher.

    Consider the compounding effect of these annual parcel cost increases. Every year, carriers decide that parcel rates will rise 4.9%, 5.9% or 6.9%, and each increase is applied to a higher “principal,” the existing rates that were increased last year, and the year before, and so on. This quickly adds up to a dramatic effect. With the latest 5.9% increase, the cost of shipping common one-pound packages like clothes or a paperback book is over 20% higher compared to just 25 months earlier.

    Shippers are left to either absorb the increases and take the associated hit to profits, try to pass them along to inflation-fatigued customers, or find ways to mitigate them. The answer seems obvious, but acting on the drive to mitigate is far from straightforward. GRIs are intentionally complex, with major rule changes, increases targeted at specific shipment profiles, and even more lurking beneath the surface.

  • FedEx & UPS Contract Negotiation
    August 7, 2023 at 2:30 PM

    In today's competitive business landscape, effective negotiation skills can make all the difference in securing favorable terms with carriers.

    However, navigating complex negotiations can be a daunting task, requiring a deep understanding of industry nuances and the ability to strategize effectively. This is where leveraging outside expertise comes into play.

    By enlisting the help of professionals who specialize in carrier negotiations, you can tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience that can significantly enhance your bargaining power. These experts possess insider insights into carrier practices, rates, and market trends, allowing them to craft tailored strategies that align with your specific needs.

    One of the key advantages of outsourcing negotiation expertise is the time and energy it saves. As a business owner or manager, you already have numerous responsibilities demanding your attention. By entrusting negotiation tasks to specialists, you free up valuable resources that can be better allocated to core business operations.

    Moreover, outside experts bring objectivity to the table. They are not emotionally invested in the outcome and can provide an unbiased perspective on what constitutes fair terms for both parties involved. This impartiality helps prevent potential oversights or concessions that could negatively impact your bottom line.

    Additionally, negotiating with carriers requires careful preparation and meticulous attention to detail. Outsourcing this process ensures that nothing slips through the cracks. Experts in carrier negotiations possess comprehensive knowledge of industry regulations and legal requirements. They will thoroughly review contracts and agreements to ensure compliance while safeguarding your interests.

    Furthermore, leveraging outside expertise demonstrates professionalism and sends a clear message to carriers: you mean business. It shows that you value their services but are committed to securing the best possible arrangements for your company's success. In conclusion, when it comes to negotiating with carriers, enlisting outside expertise is not only advantageous but also essential for maximizing outcomes. The specialized knowledge these professionals bring combined with their ability to save time and energy make them invaluable partners in achieving favorable terms that benefit both parties involved
