I like the simplicity, but from my experience with warehouses no one is willing to take a 5 cent increase in postage costs, let alone a 5% (or less) increase.

Is the rate you're basing the ~5% on commercial base, commercial plus, GEPS? There are other consolidators that will offer those prices (Express1 for example). And while they are more work to integrate, the long term savings can be enormous.
- jstreebin 14y agoYou're right. We started with % of spend because it was easiest. We've had plans for a while now and will push them soon. These have competitive rates for volume shippers. In need of something like this?
- JaggedJax 14y agoWe use the Endicia and Express1 API's in our software currently (Mainly because Express1 will share a bit of our client's revenue with us). We are definitely still in the marketplace for UPS, FedEx, etc solutions though. Haven't gotten around to their API's yet, and I don't know if there are good consolidator rates for them.
