If your small business needs shipping from FedEx, UPS or DHL don't expect any significant discounts until you have proven your shipping volume deserves discounted rates.  Your business can save big dollars by getting free shipping technology, discounted shipping rates and discounted parcel insurance from third party companies that already work with DHL, FedEx and UPS.  There are a number of these 3PL (third party logistics) companies that serve large shippers, but only one I know of that works with smaller companies.
