Large & Small Business Shipping Discount Program

Parcel shipping is a critical expense for thousands of manufacturers, retailers and e-commerce companies. Negotiating better shipping rates from UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS for your business is time-consuming and difficult. Some trade associations and affinity groups offer strong parcel shipping discounts for their members. A few are able to qualify for savings over what many companies can negotiate on their own. Luckily, there’s a new program that offers easier access to a large and small business shipping discount program.

We found the best overall savings to be through unadvertised rate plans from major carriers through CoAction, a national group purchasing organization that aggregates volume from multiple companies and taps into the best rates on shipping we could find.

Companies can join for free and take advantage of small business shipping discounts on:

• Ground
• Express (next day and 2nd day)
• International (both inbound and outbound)
• LTL

Who qualifies: Membership is free. Must be U.S. based or have a U.S. office to qualify. Some eligibility restrictions apply.
Who benefits most: Companies regularly shipping packages that weigh 5 lbs to 300 lbs tend to benefit the most.
