Are You Making These Costly Parcel Contract Mistakes?

If you’re actively negotiating your shipping carrier contracts instead of blindly renewing with UPS or FedEx, you’re already ahead of the curve. But securing best-in-class contract terms requires more than just keeping track of renewal dates. Many businesses unknowingly make mistakes that lead to excessive shipping costs, missed savings opportunities, and lost negotiating power.

From failing to regularly review contracts to underestimating hidden fees and accessorial charges, these missteps can add up fast. Did you know that even with a multi-year agreement, your shipping rates will likely increase 15-25% over time? Or that surcharges can account for 25-35% of your total parcel costs? Without the right contract protections in place, you’re leaving money on the table.
