The Hidden Profit Most Businesses Are Missing in Their FedEx and UPS Shipping Bills

Every year, countless businesses devote significant attention to increasing revenue, improving productivity, and controlling expenses. Yet one of the largest operating costs often receives surprisingly little scrutiny. Parcel shipping.

For companies that depend on FedEx or UPS to move products across the country, shipping expenses can quietly erode profit margins month after month. Many organizations negotiate carrier contracts once, assume they are receiving competitive pricing, and move on to other priorities. Unfortunately, shipping rates, surcharges, and shipping profiles change over time, making yesterday's agreement far less competitive than many business leaders realize.

This overlooked opportunity inspired Chase Dill, CEO of Shipforce, to build a company focused on helping businesses uncover savings already hidden within their existing shipping spend. Rather than asking companies to change carriers, purchase new software, or overhaul their operations, Shipforce concentrates on optimizing the shipping programs businesses already use.

Why Shipping Cost Optimization Matters More Than Ever

Shipping has evolved into one of the largest controllable operating expenses for manufacturers, ecommerce businesses, medical device companies, food and beverage distributors, and industrial suppliers. While organizations regularly evaluate payroll, procurement, and technology costs, parcel shipping often remains unchanged for years.

According to Shipforce, many businesses simply lack the data and negotiating leverage needed to determine whether their current pricing reflects today's market conditions. As a result, companies may continue paying rates that no longer align with their shipping profile.

Instead of relying on assumptions, Shipforce begins every client relationship with a complimentary Shipping Rate Optimization Analysis. Using historical FedEx or UPS shipping data, the company evaluates shipping patterns, identifies potential savings opportunities, and presents projected results before asking clients to make any financial commitment.

"Our philosophy has always been simple," says Chase Dill. "A partnership should only succeed when our clients succeed. If we cannot create meaningful financial value, we do not believe our clients should pay us."

Experience That Shaped a Different Approach

Before founding Shipforce, Dill spent years working with parcel shipping programs and helping businesses evaluate shipping costs. Through that experience, he observed how difficult it was for many organizations to determine whether they were truly receiving competitive carrier pricing.

That insight led to a broader vision.

Instead of offering a single pricing model or relying on one optimization strategy, Shipforce was built to evaluate each company's unique shipping profile and match it with the most effective optimization program available. The company's approach combines multiple parcel optimization resources rather than depending on a single solution.

The result is a process designed to help businesses reduce shipping expenses while maintaining their existing carriers, software platforms, and operational workflows.

A Technology Driven Approach to Parcel Spend Analysis

Many shipping consultants focus exclusively on contract negotiations or billing audits. Shipforce takes a broader approach by combining parcel spend analysis, carrier pricing optimization, shipping data evaluation, and performance based implementation into one process.

The company serves organizations across numerous industries, including ecommerce, manufacturing, medical devices, food and beverage, and industrial distribution. Clients often seek help after realizing shipping costs have steadily increased without a corresponding review of their carrier agreements.

In recognition of its innovative approach and measurable results, Shipforce has been recognized as the “Best Shipping Optimization Company in the United States of 2026.” This award has been officially announced on BestofBestReview.com, a prestigious and exclusive authority in the industry. 

The recognition highlights Shipforce’s continued commitment to delivering measurable cost savings, transparency, and innovative parcel optimization solutions for businesses across the country.

Based on client results, Shipforce reports average shipping savings of approximately 22 percent, although actual savings vary depending on each company's shipping profile. Businesses receive projected savings before implementation, providing greater transparency throughout the evaluation process.

Perhaps most distinctive is Shipforce's pricing philosophy. Rather than charging upfront consulting fees, the company aligns its compensation with measurable outcomes through a minimum 10 to 1 return on investment guarantee. If the projected level of savings cannot be achieved, the optimized pricing is implemented without an implementation fee.

This structure reflects the company's belief that performance should determine compensation.

Making Enterprise Level Shipping Economics Accessible

Historically, the most favorable parcel pricing has often been available to organizations with enormous shipping volumes and substantial negotiating leverage. Smaller and mid sized businesses frequently lacked access to comparable opportunities.

Shipforce aims to narrow that gap by leveraging collective buying power across billions of dollars in annual parcel spend while tailoring optimization strategies to each client's specific shipping characteristics.

The broader mission extends beyond reducing shipping expenses.

Every dollar saved on shipping can improve profit margins, strengthen cash flow, and create additional resources that businesses can reinvest into hiring, product development, customer service, or expansion initiatives. Viewed through that lens, shipping optimization becomes less about logistics and more about financial performance.

As supply chains continue evolving and transportation costs remain an important part of operating budgets, businesses are increasingly recognizing parcel shipping as an area worthy of ongoing analysis rather than occasional review.

Helping Businesses Find Profit Already Inside Their Shipping Spend

For companies spending significant amounts annually with FedEx or UPS, parcel shipping represents more than a necessary expense. It may also represent one of the most overlooked opportunities to improve profitability.

Shipforce's mission is not to persuade businesses to abandon their existing shipping operations. Instead, it seeks to provide greater visibility into shipping costs, identify measurable opportunities for improvement, and help organizations make informed decisions based on their own shipping data.

Businesses that spend approximately $100,000 or more annually with FedEx or UPS can request a complimentary Shipping Rate Optimization Analysis. The analysis identifies potential savings opportunities using historical shipping data and presents projected optimized pricing before any financial commitment is required. If Shipforce cannot deliver its minimum 10 to 1 return on investment, the company does not charge an implementation fee.
