Parcel Carrier Rate Negotiations

Establish can quickly and efficiently help your organization obtain the most competitive parcel rates from parcel carrier service providers. Each year Establish participates in the negotiations of parcel carrier agreements for clients resulting in significant cost reductions - up to 20 percent. Let our expertise work for you.

Within a very short time — four weeks, or less — we can:
  • Gather and analyze parcel shipmnet histories
  • Review and evaluate current parcel agreements
  • Determine the target range for discounts and incentives by service
  • Prepare and direct Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to the parcel carriers
  • Review and evaluate the RFP responses
  • Conduct carrier negotiations
  • Determine the cost implications of proposed agreements
  • Assist in reviewing, finalizing and executing the parcel agreements
    • The first step is to examine our client’s historical and/or forecast shipping volumes and the current agreements. With those items in mind, our team establishes a target range for the discounts and incentives by service based upon our client experience, judgment and current market conditions.
