PTDA has partnered with Integrated Shipping Solutions, Inc. to save members a significant amount of money on their small parcel shipping costs by allowing professional consultants to negotiate shipping discounts on individual members’ behalf.  ISS is currently saving association members millions on their small parcel shipping. As a PTDA member, you can now take advantage of their expertise at a special reduced rate.

About Integrated Shipping Solutions, Inc.

Integrated Shipping Solutions, Inc. was founded by two former UPS business development people to level the playing field for small parcel shippers.  ISS representatives spent years negotiating shipping contracts on the carriers’ behalf. 

Now ISS representatives leverage their intricate knowledge of the small parcel carrier pricing structures as well as the competition is to get your company the best deal in the market today.  ISS negotiates with the three major small parcel carriers on your company’s behalf, and you choose which carrier you use.  Typical ISS clients remain shipping with their current carrier at a significantly reduced rate.  Whichever carrier you choose to use, you can be assured that your new carrier agreement is truly optimized by experts in the industry.

Why Your Company Does Not Currently Have the Best Small Parcel Pricing Now

Account executives employed by shipping companies are compensated on net revenue paid into the company by their customers.  Their commission pay depends on every dollar you pay.  Therefore, it is in the best interest of the account executive to hold back all, or as much discount as possible, to retain/win your business.  Account executives rely on the simple fact that you, the customer, have no frame of reference for recognizing a good shipping rate.  Thus, all the negotiating power lies in the hands of the account executive.  This is how ISS and the knowledge of our associates expedite the process and level the playing field for you.  ISS knows what incentives you really qualify for.  Shipping companies want to keep you uninformed because an uninformed consumer equals higher margins and more commissions for them.  ISS negotiates with your best interest in mind.  Carriers simply do not.
