[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 1145616, member: 2193"] [b]Re: Chicken or Egg Problem: Low rates for volume but can't get volume without low rat[/b] Your first step should be to contact UPS directly to discuss your business, the characteristics of your shipments and the technology tools UPS has available to you. You can visit the following UPS site and get set-up with an account and incentives that are appropriate for a small business. [url]https://www.ups.com/mrd/promodiscount?loc=en_US&promoCd=BCDRRLF11&WT.ac=UPS_TB_SmallBusinessWebDiscountJan2013_PX_U1_en_us&WT.svl=BnrMsg[/url] As your business grows, you can work with your sales rep on renegotiating a new agreement that is appropriate for the level of business you are shipping. You should also negotiate with the 3rd party warehouses so they compete for your business. Tell them you have an exisiting UPS account with incentives (which you can get from going to the UPS link above) and they need to do better than that in terms of the shiping rates they offer you. Just remember that anytime you get a 3rd party involved, they need to make some money and their cut is taken from the portion that would normally be yours. Good luck with your new business. What is the product you will be selling? [/QUOTE]
