Our FedEx benchmarking and negotiations services are designed to meet our customers’ expertise and interest level in negotiating with FedEx and other carriers directly. We give you options ranging from electing to use industry leading benchmarking, price targets or a negotiation roadmap. Our goal is to either empower you to negotiate on your own or have us do the heavy lifting for you allowing you to focus on your core business.
Rate negotiations with your carrier are extremely one sided. Organizations simply don’t have the visibility into small parcel pricing required to have a truly effective and favorable outcome through negotiations. We provide the most affordable FedEx price benchmarking and contract rate negotiations available at a fraction of the cost. We remove the guesswork from the negotiation process and provide a granular target price down to the service level, weight breaks and zones.

The majority of our clients routinely save up to 35% on their small parcel shipping and perhaps the best part, our clients typically retain 90 to 95% of the savings we help them achieve. More savings than anyone else in the industry.
