01
Declared-value fees on every parcel
Standard schedule charges per $100 over threshold. Compounds on every shipment, rarely audited.
Industries · Jewelry
Small boxes, big value, declared-value fees on every label.
Jewelry ships in tiny boxes at high declared value with signature required. Most of the shipping P&L is surcharges, not base rates. We renegotiate every line specifically.
Where the money leaks
Three problems we see in every jewelry audit.
02
Signature surcharges by default
Adult-signature or signature-required is standard. Each carries its own fee.
03
International rates are punitive
Customs documentation and high declared values stack on retail international rates.
Our playbook
Four levers, specifically for jewelry.
01
Declared-value fee renegotiation
Per-$100 fee negotiated specifically. Material at any volume given how often the surcharge fires.
02
Signature fee caps
Caps on signature surcharges, or elimination on lanes where they're not required by your business rules.
03
DHL reseller for international
International jewelry shipped at reseller rates with customs handling built in.
04
Loss-claim automation
Lost-parcel claims filed inside the window with documentation that survives the standard scrutiny on high-value claims.
