Questions & answers
How long does it take to start recovering credits with a parcel audit?
“Recovery can begin within 48 hours of granting data access. One ShipSigma client saw more than $250,000 in annualized savings identified within that window. The platform continues to flag refund-eligible shipments across every subsequent invoice cycle.”
Which carrier invoices does ShipSigma audit?
“ShipSigma audits UPS and FedEx invoices. The platform connects directly to both carriers' billing portals, ingests invoice data automatically, and applies the same multi-point audit framework across both accounts.”
Does ShipSigma charge a subscription or flat fee for parcel audit services?
“ShipSigma operates on a no recovery, no fee model. There is no upfront cost and no subscription. Fees are assessed only as a percentage of credits actually recovered, which aligns ShipSigma's financial interest with the client's outcomes.”
Are late delivery refunds issued by UPS and FedEx automatically?
“No. UPS and FedEx guarantee on-time delivery for most service levels and are contractually liable for refunds when shipments arrive late, but shippers must identify eligible shipments and file claims to receive credits. A continuous audit catches these refunds across every billing cycle.”
What is DIM weight pricing, and how does it affect pet product contracts?
“Dimensional weight pricing bills the greater of a package's actual weight or its size-based weight, using a standard UPS and FedEx divisor of 139 for domestic shipments. Bulky pet items such as beds, crates, and large food bags frequently bill above scale weight, and negotiating a higher divisor lowers the calculated DIM weight across the entire catalog.”
What surcharges should pet product shippers watch out for?
“The costliest for pet shippers are additional handling on heavy or irregular packages, large package surcharges above dimensional thresholds, residential delivery surcharges on DTC orders, delivery area surcharges on rural deliveries, and fuel surcharges. Each is negotiable and should be addressed explicitly in contract language rather than accepted as published.”
What are minimum volume requirements in carrier contracts?
“Minimum volume commitments are thresholds carriers use to protect revenue, and missing them can reduce discounts or trigger penalties. Set commitments on conservative volume projections rather than optimistic ones, especially for brands with seasonal spikes, so an off-peak dip does not cost you the rates you negotiated.”
