Hidden shipping fees are draining your margins.
Shipping costs are more than just the base rate. Accessional charges — extra fees that often exceed the base rate — hide in plain sight and drain your profit margins.
Residential delivery fees
add 15–20% per package.
Fuel surcharges
add fluctuating percentages to every delivery.
Extended area surcharges
add $3–15 per package in rural areas.
Peak season adjustments
add up to 30% during holidays.
Most businesses negotiate on the base rate. But shipping carriers make their profit through accessorial charges.

Frequently asked questions.
-
Carriers have the knowledge advantage. Our team of expert negotiators and experienced carrier executives, plus our $1.4B benchmark database, means we know how much lower your rates should be. Instead of negotiating in the dark, you'll see exactly what you can save — before you commit.
-
No. Unlike other approaches, we focus on lowering your costs while keeping your current shipping providers and service levels. Most businesses save 10-30% without changing their carrier or delivery speed.
-
Most consultants focus solely on shipping — we go beyond that. Margin Pro includes carrier negotiations and automated marketplace fee recovery. It's a complete profit protection system instead of just a standalone service.
-
No. We take a professional, data-driven approach and enable you to lead the negotiations. Carriers expect rate reviews, and they prefer to keep long-term customers happy. Our process ensures you get fair, competitive rates while maintaining a strong working relationship.

You only pay when we secure shipping savings. The exact fee will depend on the specifics of your business, but it's never more than 20% of the amount we save for you.

Our system automatically defends your bottom line by analyzing every carrier invoice, comparing rates against industry benchmarks, and identifying hidden fees. We ensure you're getting the best possible shipping rates without spending hours reviewing complex agreements.

Lower COGS without sacrificing quality
Stop overpaying to manufacture your product
10%
Saved AVGManufacturing costs are deliberately inflated by layers of middlemen, each adding their markup to your bottom line. Even when base costs seem reasonable, these extra layers silently eat away at your profits.
Our system cuts through the complexity by going straight to the source. Manufacturing middlemen might promise convenience, but they're padding your costs with unnecessary markups that directly impact your margins.
Track commodity prices like a hawk. Market rates for raw materials fluctuate constantly, but many businesses stick with their usual suppliers without questioning if they're getting the best deal. Don't fall into this trap.
Whether you're producing hundreds or hundreds of thousands of units, we help you only pay what's fair—not what middlemen hope you will. Keep your quality standards high while strategically eliminating the hidden costs that are eating into your profits.

Stay compliant
Don't let changing rules catch you off guard

Our software automatically adjusts to new terms and conditions. Don't risk falling behind on compliance because a crucial update slipped through unnoticed. Whether you're dealing with shipping giants or retail marketplaces, stay ahead of every policy change that affects your business.
