It may not be as big an expense as it seems.
Pre 2000 I had a customer for one summer that was really big. They were doing integrated supply before it was a thing, and while "just in time delivery" was the fad.
They went to all the small package shipping companies for a quote based on the winner getting 100% of their business .... $40 Million a year... As a win it all or lose whatever piece you currently get
UPS - We don't give discounts.
DHL- 5% or some similar trivial amount.
FedEx - If you send all small packages priority one, we'll do that for a bit less than UPS ground
At the time, a sub 1lb package cost me 15+ by FedEx, and a bit over 3 UPS ground.
I don't know if they're still doing stuff like that, but PSA probably has similar volume.
