Make sure that all the benefits you are buying are really being used. Ask your insurer what you might save by eliminating or reducing some of these underutilized benefits. If you're sending as few as seven packages per week, you may be able to reduce your rates. Call your sales representative and start negotiating. Track the delivery time of your packages, either by asking for proof from the carrier or using their online tracking software.
Carriers typically guarantee time and date of delivery.
Ask for a refund for packages that are delivered late. Make sure that your timing meets your customers' needs. Look for a convenient drop-off point. You might not realize it, but you pay extra when you have a package picked up. Many of the major carriers have local service centers or drop boxes.
