GPO Small Parcel Rates
Enterprise-tier rates through collective buying power.
The Best Shipping Rates Are Reserved for Businesses That Don't Need Them
Carrier pricing tiers work on volume. Ship 2,800 parcels a month and you access rates 30–40% below what a 280-parcel shipper pays — for the exact same service. It's one of the most persistent unfair advantages in small business logistics. Until now.
Rate tiers require volume you may never reach alone
To access the pricing tier that actually makes a difference, most carriers want to see 2,000–5,000+ monthly shipments. Growing into that takes years — while you overpay every month.
Small shippers subsidize large ones
The margin carriers make on small and mid-market accounts is significantly higher than on enterprise accounts. The system is designed this way.
There's no transparent path to better pricing on your own
Carriers don't publish the thresholds that unlock better rates. Without that information, you can't plan toward them — or find alternatives.
The process, top to bottom.
Your volume joins the GPO pool
We aggregate your monthly shipments with hundreds of other businesses in our Group Purchasing Organization, reaching the volume tiers that unlock the best carrier pricing.
We negotiate at the pooled volume level
With the combined volume of our entire client base behind us, we secure carrier rate agreements that no individual SMB could achieve — and pass the pricing through.
You ship at a rate tier you shouldn't be able to access
Your 280-parcel-per-month business pays the same rate as a 2,800+ parcel shipper. No minimum commitment required. Just better pricing, immediately.
The deliverables, in plain English.
10× volume multiplier
Access the pricing tier of a shipper 10 times your size. The GPO model makes it possible for any business to skip the years of growth required to reach premium rate tiers.
No minimum shipment requirement
You don't need to commit to a minimum volume to participate. We work with businesses shipping as few as 50 parcels per month.
Stacks with other Kadima services
GPO rates work alongside your DHL reseller pricing, carrier negotiation, and audit recovery — all optimized together as a single shipping cost strategy.
Immediate rate access
There's no waiting period to 'grow into' better rates. You access GPO pricing from your first shipment through Kadima.
Transparent pricing
We show you exactly what you'll pay before you commit. No hidden GPO membership fees. No complex fee structures.
Every month you wait, the meter keeps running.
Most clients see meaningful savings within the first invoice cycle. The audit itself is free — the only thing you're risking is finding out you've been overpaying. Then you decide what to do with the number.
Who this service fits best.
200–2,500 parcels / month
You're stuck under the threshold for real volume-tier pricing. The GPO closes that gap immediately.
Can't sign volume minimums
Your forecast moves week to week. The GPO doesn't ask for a minimum — your shipments pool with everyone else's.
Wants every carrier covered
GPO rates apply across DHL, UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Amazon Shipping — not just one.
What people ask before signing up.
What is a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO)? →
A GPO pools the purchasing power of many businesses to negotiate better prices than any individual business could get alone. In shipping, this means aggregating parcel volume across hundreds of clients to access carrier rate tiers that require volume none of them could hit independently.
Do I have to commit to a minimum volume? →
No. Our GPO model is designed specifically for businesses that can't commit to high minimums. You ship what you ship — and you access the rate tier of a much larger shipper regardless.
Which carriers are covered by GPO pricing? →
Our GPO rates cover DHL, UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Amazon Shipping. The specific savings vary by carrier and your shipping profile, but all are included.
How much better are GPO rates compared to standard business accounts? →
The gap varies by carrier and shipment type, but it's typically 20–40% below what a standard business account receives. The audit we run before onboarding will show you exactly what the difference is for your specific shipment profile.
Is this different from the DHL Authorized Reseller service? →
The DHL Authorized Reseller service provides access to our direct DHL rate agreement specifically. GPO rates cover all major carriers through our collective purchasing approach. Many clients use both — and the combination produces the best overall shipping cost reduction.
