Carrier & Parcel Cost Recovery

    Cut Parcel Costs 10–30% Without Switching Carriers

    We negotiate your FedEx, UPS, and DHL contracts and audit every invoice weekly to recover overcharges and lock in better rates. You only pay when we save you money.

    The carriers know exactly how much they're overcharging you. We make sure you find out too.

    Two Levers. One Goal: A Smaller Carrier Invoice Every Month.

    Most shippers leave 10–30% on the table—not because they negotiated badly, but because parcel contracts are deliberately opaque and invoices contain dozens of error categories most operators never check. We work both sides.

    • Contract Negotiation: We benchmark your current rates against what FedEx, UPS, and DHL actually give peer shippers—then negotiate better base rates, deeper discount tiers, lower accessorial fees, and minimum-charge waivers
    • Ongoing Invoice Auditing: Every shipment is checked against your contract. We recover late deliveries (guaranteed service refunds), address corrections, dimensional weight errors, residential surcharges, duplicate charges, and incorrect zone billing
    • Accessorial Recovery: Saturday delivery, fuel surcharges, declared value, signature required—the line items shippers rarely contest and carriers rarely refund unless asked
    • Carrier-Agnostic: We work across FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS—not tied to any carrier, only to your bottom line

    Performance-Based: You Only Pay From Savings

    No retainers. No upfront fees. No risk. We do the benchmarking, the negotiation, and the ongoing audits—and we only get paid a share of what we save you. If we don't lower your invoice, you don't pay us. Period.

    • Zero upfront cost—we work for a share of recovered and saved dollars
    • Clients save 10–30% on parcel spend—with no carrier switch and no operational disruption
    • Aligned incentives—we only win when your invoice shrinks

    Imagine a Smaller Carrier Bill—Every Month, Without Lifting a Finger

    This isn't a one-time negotiation. It's a system: a sharper contract upfront, then ongoing audits that recover overcharges month after month. The savings compound.

    • Lower shipping cost per order—direct margin expansion
    • No carrier switch required—zero operational disruption
    • Continuous monitoring catches drift as carriers quietly adjust fees and surcharges

    Who You're Working With

    Cost recovery is a negotiation business, and negotiation is what we do. Our background spans B2B distribution and marketplace commerce—both sides of the freight and vendor table.

    • Grew a B2B industrial distributor from $8MM to $30MM, shifting a field-sales-only business to a digital-first B2B revenue model
    • Partner-side experience with an AI margin recovery and marketplace expansion platform serving 35K+ brands and sellers across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and Target
    • Two decades negotiating vendor, carrier, and channel contracts on behalf of brands and operators

    The Language We Speak

    Parcel savings hide in the line items most shippers never read. These are the ones we go after by name.

    • Contract terms: base rate discounts, incentive tiers and earned discount thresholds, minimum net charge, GRI (general rate increase), DIM divisor, zone structure, list vs. net rates, revenue commitments, and contract true-ups
    • Accessorials & surcharges: fuel surcharge (FSC), residential and delivery area surcharge (DAS/EDAS), address correction, additional handling, oversize/large package, peak and demand surcharges, Saturday delivery, declared value, signature required
    • Audit categories: GSR (guaranteed service refunds) for late delivery, dimensional weight errors, duplicate and manifest-not-shipped charges, incorrect zone billing, void shipments, and misapplied accessorials
    • Operations: FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS and regional carriers, SurePost/SmartPost hand-offs, zone skipping, multi-carrier rate shopping, cost per parcel and cost per order, EDI 210 invoice data and GL cost allocation
