[QUOTE="ups_vette, post: 177729, member: 2125"] Helen...Do you believe the shipper who ships 10 packages a day pays the same rate as the shipper who ships 1,000 packages a day? Or does that 1,000 package a day shipper pay the same rate as the 10,000 package a day shipper pay? The UPS published Rate Chart is only the begining of what a customer pays. Every account is analyzed to determine the cost of handling their packages, and the rates will be adjusted downward based on what the cost is to deliver. Our large shippers are charged what is refered to as cost plus. That is what the actual cost is plus a perentage profit. The more you ship the lower your rate. So UPS does lower it's rates, depending on the amount of volume. Very few shippers actually pay the posted rate on the Rate Chart. [/QUOTE]
