Parcel shipping and pricing can be somewhat mysterious and complicated. The best way to understand pricing and how parcel carriers work is to download each carrier’s Rate and Service Guide from their websites and read it from cover to cover, and then re-read when they publish a new one each year (as well as mid-year amendments). Obviously not everyone has the time or resources to do this. This whitepaper will provide you with a quick tutorial.
In this white paper, you will learn:
- Where to begin with evaluating the rate and service guide
- Definitions of the key components of parcel pricing
- What elements of your carrier agreement can be negotiated
