is of the essence in delivering many of today's business communications,
materials and products. While overnight transportation and priority
air express services may be the best way to meet tight time constraints,
they're expensive and are often improperly used -- costing your company
thousands each year in excessive charges. On the other hand, if your
company relies on ground parcel shipping, you might not be taking
full advantage of important ways to reduce those costs.
"It's only a few dollars per shipment"
- But it adds up fast. When it comes to deciding when to use priority
air express, second day delivery or ground services, employees can
be uncertain about which way to go. Since the per-shipment cost
may seem low, overnight shipping using priority air express service
is used as a "default" even when it's not needed -- like
over short geographic distances or just before weekends. And, many
times package recipients don't act on received materials immediately,
meaning employees are often buying higher cost services than are
actually needed.

DHL or other services, we can help. We'll review your air express
and parcel shipping usage and needs, your carriers and rates, and
your total spend in each service category to determine how to reduce
your costs. We'll also benchmark
your costs to see what other companies are paying for the kinds
of services you use. You'll receive a customized air express and
parcel shipment plan for your company describing service options,
the best ways to use them and your savings potential. The plan will
include easy-to-use tools so your employees will be sure of which
service is the best value for each and every shipment.
