Dear UPS Account Representative,
We currently ship 150 packages/month averaging 2.5 lbs each, totaling approximately 1,800 parcels annually. Our current average cost per package is $8.50.
Based on our verified monthly volume and consistent pickup schedule, we request a tier review to establish a target commercial rate of $6.80 per piece. We are currently evaluating FedEx and USPS competitive commercial programs for our upcoming shipping cycle.
Thank you,
Logistics & Fulfillment Team
