The Problem

Free Shipping

Due to consumer expectations of free or minimal shipping charges, the client does not charge for shipping on orders over $99 and charges a sliding scale of $4.99 to $9.99 for shipping fees.

High Costs & Fees

Shipping costs impaired company profitability and hurt their bottom-line. In search of options to decrease their shipping costs, we analyzed several months of shipping data and prepared a comprehensive solution.

Our Solution

Contract Negotiation & Parcel Audit

Our client saw an immediate cost reduction through our audit. In addition to the refunds secured through the audit, the client has been able to track and monitor areas of potential waste and inefficiency (e.g. address corrections, shipments manifested but not shipped) through the DATARX reporting platform. In this case, the contract negotiation process (initial carrier meetings through new agreement effective date) only took 13 weeks to complete and netted more than $50k in savings.

  • Added ShipRx cost reporting
  • Secured refunds for service failure
  • Added discounts for overlooked services
  • Identified shipping waste & inefficiencies
