Parcel shipping costs represent a major cost component for all direct merchants today. By combining the volume of all clients, Stark Bro's can offer rates to clients that they could not obtain due to their lower volume. This single factor provides a compelling reason for clients to outsource their fulfillment needs. Most competition only offer their clients standard rates without discounts or do not offer parcel management services at all.

Stark Bro's can also provide a quote for Inbound Logistics Management Services. We contract with major carriers and other logistics companies regularly and provide savings opportunities of over 10% on inbound freight without sacrificing service.

Parcel carrier options include DHL, Deutsche Post, Fed Ex, UPS, RR Donnelly and USPS. Stark Bro's is a certified DMU (Detached Mail Unit) and has U.S. Postal workers onsite verifying clients' mail as it enters the mail stream. We utilize Kewill manifest systems to insure compliance with each client's business rules regarding carrier selection. These systems can be programmed to rate shop for the least cost carrier based on service standards provided by clients.
