Carrier rate research and benchmarking
Research current carrier rates for specific weight breaks, zones, and service levels. Identify whether you're getting competitive pricing on your parcel and freight contracts.
Research competitive shipping rates for 5-10 lb packages from our Chicago warehouse to all US zones. Compare UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, and USPS Priority Mail. We ship 500 packages per week and want to know if we're getting a fair negotiated rate.
Rate benchmark for 5-10 lb, Chicago to Zone 5 (typical Mid-Atlantic): UPS Ground published ~$12.80, FedEx Ground ~$12.40, USPS Priority Mail ~$14.50. At 500/week volume, carriers typically offer 30-50% base rate discounts. If your negotiated rate exceeds $8 for this profile, you likely have room to negotiate. Recommend competitive bid to all 3 carriers.
