01
Adult signature on every parcel
Required by regulation, surcharged by default. Negotiable at volume.
Industries · Firearms & Regulated
Regulated parcel, audited the same way.
Firearms and regulated outdoor parcel run on ATF-compliant networks. Carrier choice is narrowed, rates are higher, and surcharges (adult signature, declared value) fire every shipment. Still negotiable, line by line.
Where the money leaks
Three problems we see in every firearms & regulated audit.
02
Limited carrier choice
Only certain carriers ship firearms. Default rate sheets get accepted without negotiation because alternatives are few.
03
Declared value adds up
High-AOV firearms accessories trigger declared-value fees on every label.
Our playbook
Four levers, specifically for firearms & regulated.
01
Adult-signature fee negotiation
Renegotiate the adult-signature schedule specifically.
02
Carrier-specific rate-sheet audit
Limited carrier choice means the few rate sheets that exist matter more. We audit every one.
03
Declared-value renegotiation
Per-$100 fee schedule renegotiated.
04
Compliance routing
Rate-shop respects ATF-compliant carrier eligibility per SKU class.
