Small Parcel Audit Services | P3 Cost Analysts

Are you getting the best pricing from your shipping carrier? Many business owners think there couldn’t possibly be room to negotiate more savings on their carrier contracts, but you’d be surprised. Every day, we save companies just like yours 15% to 20%.

Carrier contracts can be overly complex and difficult to understand. They contain pricing tiers with different discounts for different weights and zones, and no shortage of fine print that can change the pricing altogether. The truth is these contracts are cleverly designed by pricing analysts to be as profitable as possible.

Our expert small parcel audit team of former FedEx, UPS, and DHL pricing analysts understand carrier contracts. They’ll perform a market analysis of your current contract and give you localized insights that will help you negotiate the best savings. With P3, you’ll have access to the most competitive pricing available in today’s marketplace.

With our guidance, you can use the money you save on shipping to run specials like free shipping or discounts on top-selling products. Our clients have outpaced competitors and seen double-digit increases in both revenue and market share.

On top of our negotiation expertise, we help clients get credits back from overcharges. Did you know that every year, billions of dollars in shipping refunds go unclaimed? It’s true. Out of $2 billion in parcel audit credit refunds owed by shipping carriers each year, a full 75% go unclaimed. That’s $1.5 billion!

The fact is, if your company ships and receives packages with carriers like FedEx and UPS, you could be entitled to thousands of dollars in refunds. Every time a package arrives even just a few minutes late, you’re likely owed a refund on its shipping cost.

On average, 3% to 5% of packages are delivered late every day. But you only have 15 days to claim your money. It isn’t just late deliveries that are the problem. Billing errors can occur on every carrier invoice you receive. The problem is that carrier invoices can be hundreds of pages long every week.

Thankfully, there’s P3. Our team of auditors will conduct a thorough, 45-point parcel audit on each of your shipments. Our proprietary software not only gets you back all of the money you are owed, but also automates the refund process. Which means you can just sit back and watch your refund credits pile up.
