01
Residential surcharges on commercial addresses
Carriers misclassify a meaningful share of B2B addresses as residential. At $4–6 per shipment, that's the 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 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. A tighter divisor moves margin every single shipment.
03
Lift-gate and pallet surcharges
Mid-size B2B shippers cross into freight territory frequently. Carriers love adding freight-style surcharges without pushback.
Our playbook
Four levers, specifically for distribution.
01
Address classification audit
Kadix flags every shipment billed as residential against a commercial address database. Refunds recovered, future invoices fixed at the source.
02
Custom dim divisor negotiation
We pull your actual cube data and renegotiate divisors against it — not the generic 139 retail number.
03
Recurring-address discounts
B2B routes deliver to the same addresses repeatedly. We negotiate volume credit on lanes carriers know they own.
04
Freight + parcel under one rep
Stop having parcel and LTL negotiated by different reps with no shared visibility. One team, one quarterly review.
Best fit if you are
- ✓Wholesalers with $15K+/mo parcel spend
- ✓Distributors running mixed parcel + LTL volume
- ✓B2B catalogs shipping into repeat commercial addresses
- ✓Industrial and MRO distributors
Probably not for you if
Pure pallet-only operations — we audit parcel; LTL renegotiation is a different motion.
