When it comes to shipping, ensuring you’re getting the best rates from UPS is essential for keeping your business competitive and your costs under control. Whether negotiating a new contract or renegotiating an existing one, accurate data is the foundation of a successful UPS contract negotiation. Here’s how to start a UPS contract negotiation:
Step 1: Understand Your Shipping Data
The first step in any UPS contract negotiation is understanding your shipping patterns and costs. UPS uses your shipment data—such as volume, zones, weights, and service types—to determine the discounts and rates they offer. You need a complete and accurate picture of your shipping habits to negotiate effectively.
Step 2: Request the Right Data
To start, log into your UPS Billing Center and download the CSV: Full (250 Columns) data file. Ten weeks of UPS data is essential to start a UPS contract negotiation. The UPS CSV: Full (250 Columns) file provides a detailed breakdown of all your shipments, including package dimensions, zones, weights, delivery times, surcharges, and more. This level of detail is critical for identifying areas where you’re being overcharged or where UPS may be willing to offer additional discounts.
Step 3: Send Us Your Data for Analysis
Once you have the CSV file, send it to our team for a comprehensive analysis. We’ll audit your shipment history to uncover savings opportunities. Our experts will pinpoint areas where you’re overspending, such as late delivery refunds, excessive surcharges, or inefficient service levels. From there, we’ll create a detailed benchmark analysis to show you how your rates compare to other businesses of similar size and volume.
Step 4: Leverage Negotiation Expertise
Our team specializes in negotiating UPS contracts and is armed with industry knowledge and market insights that can help secure you better discounts and terms. With your shipping data, we’ll approach UPS with a clear, data-backed strategy to maximize your savings.
