The challenge
Kolkata Chai Co. was shipping thousands of orders a month on carrier rates nobody had revisited in over a year. As a food and beverage brand their shipments carry specific weight and handling requirements that standard rate cards don’t account for. They knew they were overpaying, just not by how much.
Our approach
We pulled their shipping data and ran a full cost analysis: rate per zone, weight breaks, surcharges, and accessorial fees. Then we went to market with their volume and profile, negotiating custom rates that reflected their actual shipping patterns, and identified opportunities to consolidate shipments and reduce zone exposure.
The results
Kolkata Chai saw an immediate 10% reduction in total shipping costs, which came to $0.60 to $0.70 per shipment. Across their monthly volume that compounds quickly, and the new rates are locked for a year.
“They made the entire process seamless. We went from overpaying to optimized in a matter of weeks, and the savings were immediate.”
