Introducing Discounted UPS Rates on DesktopShipper
Saving money? Now that’s just good business! Ship with UPS on DesktopShipper and take advantage of new discounted shipping rates.
Fact: All shipping solutions cost money. You might be paying via an upfront monthly fee, or you might be paying extra cents per shipping label. With some shipping solutions, you could be paying for both! The important thing is to understand is that with the correct UI for your business level, the extra money you are investing in a solution will save your bottom line in future.
When you work with a shipping solution, you receive access to negotiated rates and time-saving features like batch rate-shopping. Gone are the days of individually comparing shipping prices for each parcel. Not only are they saving you time, but by utilizing solutions that have a deep understanding of the ecommerce space and connections with industry-leading partners, they are most likely saving you more money than you would have been able to save yourself.
We cannot speak for other shipping solutions, we realize that, but we can give you a firsthand example of how you save money using DesktopShipper. Below is a hypothetical breakdown of yearly shipping costs utilizing our Medium tier price-point.**
Starting at $75 per month, the Medium tier offers the ability to ship up to 1500 packages per month - or 18,000 packages per year. Though we offer a wide range of savings, we will be calculating the maximum packages per year by an average ground shipping price of $13.00, with an estimated discount of 5%.
