The program...Great Rates, No Rules, Instant Savings
We hold an international shipping agreement with DHL Express that allows us to extend these rates to you. This agreement was the result of one of our client projects years ago and it was a huge success; saving the client $8.5 million over three years.
The rates are so low we are prohibited from publishing the direct discount here. We are not a reseller; instead you will receive the same discount stated in our contract with DHL Express.
So how do we do it?
We came at this a different way. We already had the rates negotiated from a successful project. We already had a different relationship with DHL Express that wasn't about price. We have a different model than the resellers do, which is a marketplace that UPS and DHL Express need to exercise some control over so that they don't find themselves competing directly with their resellers.
Our approach is to split the savings you realize on each shipment with you.
We also do not require you to sign a long-term contract or commit any minimum revenue to get the rates. This is a pay-per-use program and you can opt out or cancel at any time.
We are so confident that our approach is unique and our rates are valuable that we are offering your first three shipments without the percentage of savings fee. You just pay for the shipping charges. This is a great way to try out the program.
Supported at the highest levels within DHL Express
Because our program has the support of senior executives within DHL Express, you can be confident that your international package delivery needs will be exceeded on every shipment. Neither FedEx or UPS deliver to as many international destinations as DHL Express or within a 2-day transit time. Whether shipment tracking, invoicing, computers or supplies, we are connected with people at DHL Express that make decisions, not excuses...and can get it done.
As far as we know, this is the only program of its kind.
Until now, your only options for discount were:
1. Try to negotiate them on your own with FedEx or UPS. Although you might be successful in achieving some level of discount, your discounts are probably somewhere between 50% and 65%; far from the discount we offer. Furthermore, obtaining any significant discount with FedEx or UPS requires you to commit a minimum amount of package weekly revenue and volume with them.
2. Work with a reseller of UPS or DHL Express. Resellers typically have discounts to 65% and need to reduce that discount when they offer you the rates so that they can retain part of it for their own profit. That means resellers have a limited marketplace to sell to...only shippers that couldn't get a 65% discount on their own. They can vary the markup to you without much accountability.
