Save 30 to 50% on Shipping with ShipAid’s Group Network

Shipping costs add up. Whether you're sending a few hundred packages a month or thousands, what you pay to carriers like UPS, FedEx, or DHL can make a huge difference in your bottom line.
That’s why ShipAid created a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO). It’s a way for merchants to tap into serious savings without giving up control. You keep your own carrier accounts. You ship how you want. But now you do it with pricing that’s typically only available to the big players.
Some members are saving 30 to 50% on their shipping costs. This article breaks down how it works, who it’s for, and how you can start saving without changing the way you ship.

Why Shipping Costs Are So High

Shipping isn’t just postage. You’re paying for:
Base rates from your carrier
Fuel surcharges
Residential delivery fees
Extra charges for things like address corrections or larger boxes
Big companies can negotiate these down. Smaller ones often cannot. That’s where ShipAid’s group network helps.

What ShipAid’s GPO Actually Does

ShipAid brings merchants together to unlock pricing based on combined volume. That means:
Lower rates because you're part of a bigger pool
Direct carrier access with your own account
No extra layers or delays in communication
When you join, you don’t lose control. You don’t hand your shipping off to someone else. You simply gain access to better pricing. And those rates show up right in your own carrier account.

The Setup: Fast and Simple

No new systems. No learning curve. Here’s how it works:
You sign up and get approved for a top-tier carrier account like UPS, FedEx, or DHL
ShipAid connects your account to group-based discounts
You ship as usual, using your preferred platform
There are no delays or platform changes. Just better rates that appear automatically.

Real Savings, Real Results

How much can you save? That depends on what you’re paying now. But many merchants report 30 to 50% off their regular rates.
Here’s what that looks like:
A fashion retailer cut costs from $9.80 per package to $6.45
A subscription box brand saved over $100,000 in one year
A home goods store reduced zone-based surcharges by more than 40%
These are not one-time wins. They reflect what happens when you stop paying retail and start accessing volume-based rates—even if your business doesn't ship at enterprise scale.

What You Still Control

ShipAid’s setup is built for flexibility. You keep:
Your carrier dashboard
Your shipment tracking and pickup scheduling
Your preferred tools and automation
Want to use UPS WorldShip, FedEx Ship Manager, or a custom warehouse integration? You can. You don’t need to change how you work.
You also speak directly to the carrier when there’s an issue. There’s no third-party slowing things down. And when you do need help, ShipAid has your back.

Help with claims or billing issues

If you’ve been stuck with high rates or platforms that insert themselves between you and your carrier, ShipAid offers a more flexible path.
