ARE INCREASES
NEGOTIABLE?
The Minimum Charge
• For Ground:
• Going from $4.84
• To $5.17
• For just about everyone $.33 a package + fsc
• 6.9%

Where did the 5.9% go to?
ARE MINIMUMS
NEGOTIABLE?
UNDERSTANDINGAverages
How do they come
up with this
number
When you lay rates side by side you will see that the increase is not distributed
linearly
6
Can anyone see a 5.9% increase in
these cells?
Guess why zone 2 is lower than the other zones
ANNOUNCING AN AVERAGE INCREASE IS
ELEPHANT SQUEEZE
ANYONE OUT THERE AVERAGE?
UNFORTUNATELYMost shippers don’t have shipments profiles that are equally weighted by zone
and by weight cellNor equally weighted across service types
Don’t assume FedEx & UPS have the same base rates
or that UPS increasing their rates by a greater percentage than Fedex makes them more expensive
This was 2010All depends on
the discount(s)You negotiated
Less but not so much
This is 2011
Again its possible, on your book of business that a 45% discount from UPS might be a better overall deal
than 50% from FedEx
Remember This ?Aug 2006 Announcement
11
It was such a surprise to FedEx that they could not do the programing fast enough to implement the new
rule and had to wait months before they too could incorporate it.
Beginning January 3, 2011, the divisor used to calculate dimensional
weight will change.U.S. Domestic UPS Air services will change from 194 to 166.•U.S. Domestic UPS Ground services will change from 194 to 166 (applies to packages 3 cubic feet or larger in size). (1728 cu. in.)•Export services from the U.S. (all services) will change from 166 to 139. •UPS Standard to Canada will change from 166 to 139 (applies to packages 3 cubic feet or larger in size). •Import to the U.S. from Canada and Virgin Islands will change from 166 to 139.
Dimensional weight for international multiple package shipments will be based on the greater of the actual weight or dimensional weight of each package in the shipment
ARE DIMS NEGOTIABLE?
Most Popular Box Sizes

I would hate to be these guys
Let’s pretend they get no discount or concessions
• I ordered 2 suits• Actual weight = 9.30 lbs. (so they charge for 10lbs )• From Texas a zone 5• The charge for 10 lbs. Resi Ground with a 5.5% fsc = $8.24
(They charged me $34 )• Becomes $8.78 Jan 3 (a 6.63% increase)• Dimensions are 18” x 15” x 25”• The dim goes from 35 lbs @ 194 to 41 lbs. @166 and the price
goes from $17.68 to $21.40• Or….wait for it…..21% more than they pay today for dim weight.• Please hold you applause. • Granted that even though the ad said “free shipping”, somehow I
was billed $34 for shipping so don’t feel too bad for JCP• If they do get a discount for the shipping from UPS then they really
made a fortune on my order.
By the way if you accept as the shipping date the shipment was delivered late and if JCP was smart
they would ask for a refund
If you have no data on your box sizes
• How are you going to know

Next Steps
Call in your rep and ask for their impact analysis of their increase on your book of businessAnd their recommendation on how you can bet mitigate the increaseEVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE - NOWMany of the parcel consulting companies off a free impact analysis.You can do some approximation with the tool you saw displayed in this presentation.The tool is not perfect however it will provide a reasonable approximation without rerating every shipment.Is easy to use and fairly intuitive.
