5. Air Express and Parcel Shipments

Time is of the essence in delivering many of today's business communications, materials and products. While overnight and priority air express services may be the best way to meet tight time constraints, they're costly and often improperly used -- costing your company thousands each year in waste costs. Or, if you primarily use ground parcel carriers, you might not be taking full advantage of valuable ways to reduce these costs.

"It's only a few dollars per shipment--"
But it adds up fast. When it comes to deciding when to use air express vs. ground services, employees can be uncertain. Since the per-shipment cost may seem low, overnight air express service is used even when it's not needed -- like over short geographic distances or just before weekends. And, many times package senders and their recipients don't share the same sense of urgency, which can result in buying higher cost service than is actually needed.

We'll review your air express and parcel shipment needs, your service usage, your carriers and rates, and your total costs to determine how to reduce your costs. You'll receive a customized air express and parcel shipment plan for your company describing service options, their costs, and the most effective ways to reduce these costs. The plan will include easy-to-use tools so your employees will be certain which service is the right one and the best value for each and every shipment.
