10 Clauses Quietly Costing You 20%+

NEGOTIATION

A parcel contract can show impressive discounts yet still cost far more than it should. The biggest savings leaks often hide in minimum charges, DIM rules, fuel treatment, surcharge tables, refund waivers, and restrictive commitment language—not the headline rate discount. ShipTrim reviews these overlooked terms against your actual shipment profile to identify where your agreement may be quietly giving savings back.

How to Run a Carrier RFP When You’re Not a Fortune 500

Parcel RFPs do not require a Fortune 500 procurement team—but they do require the right data. ShipTrim helps mid-market shippers analyze their shipment profile, model current contract costs, and focus negotiations on the pricing levers that truly affect spend, including minimums, DIM, and surcharges. The result is a right-sized, carrier-agnostic process that creates meaningful leverage without unnecessary complexity.
