Today’s parcel shipping environment is more complex, unpredictable, and rapidly evolving than ever. Technology, AI-driven tools, unpredictable disruptions, and new market entrants such as Amazon are reshaping the competitive landscape. Shippers now have more choices—from national carriers including UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Amazon to a growing network of regional and specialized providers. In fact, more than 100 alternative parcel delivery companies have emerged over the past decade, creating new opportunities while making carrier selection and pricing increasingly difficult to navigate.
At the same time, shipping costs continue to rise. Carriers are expanding accessorial charges, introducing new surcharges throughout the year, implementing aggressive annual rate increases, and adding increasingly complex contract terms, commitments, and penalties. With more carriers, more pricing variables, and more technology than ever before, understanding what you are actually paying—and whether your rates and terms are truly competitive—has become increasingly challenging. Companies need experienced carrier-pricing experts who can determine whether they are actually receiving competitive rates and terms.
Your Last Analysis Was a Snapshot. The Market Has Already Changed.
Even if your shipping costs and carrier contracts were analyzed just a few months ago, today’s rapidly changing transportation market may already present new opportunities.
Carrier pricing, surcharges, service options, contract terms, and competitive alternatives continue to evolve. New regional and specialized carriers are entering the market, existing carriers are adjusting their networks and pricing strategies, and changing shipping volumes can also affect the competitiveness of your current agreements.
A fresh ShipperInsights analysis provides an independent benchmark of your current carrier mix, network optimization, contract pricing, terms, service levels, and accessorial charges against today’s market—helping determine whether your current strategy remains competitive or whether additional savings and optimization opportunities have emerged.
The goal is not to repeat what has already been done. It is to determine whether what was competitive then is still competitive today.
