01
Residential surcharges on commercial addresses
Carriers misclassify ~5–12% of B2B addresses as residential. At $4–6 per shipment, that's the single biggest hidden line in most B2B parcel books.
Industries · Distribution & Wholesale
B2B parcel, audited and renegotiated.
B2B distribution has different patterns than DTC — heavier packages, recurring customer addresses, slower delivery SLAs. We renegotiate against those patterns specifically and audit for the surcharges that hit B2B hardest.
Where the money leaks
Three problems we see in every distribution audit.
02
Dim-weight on dense goods
Heavy, dense product gets dim-weighted unfairly when carriers use generic divisors. Negotiating a tighter dim factor moves margin every single shipment.
03
Lift-gate and pallet surcharges
Mid-size B2B shippers cross into freight territory frequently. Carriers love to add freight-style surcharges without negotiation pushback.
Our playbook
Four levers, specifically for distribution.
01
Address classification audit
Kadix flags every shipment billed as residential against an external commercial address database. Refunds recovered, future invoices fixed at the source.
02
Dim-factor renegotiation
We push carriers from standard 139 dim factor down to 166+ on dense product lines. Worth ~$0.30–0.80 / shipment depending on what you ship.
03
Mixed mode (parcel + freight)
Your parcel and LTL accounts are negotiated together so the carrier sees the full book. Better rates on both sides.
04
Recurring address pricing
Where you ship to the same B2B addresses repeatedly, we negotiate per-lane discounts most carriers won't offer DTC shippers.
