Parcel Shippers Decision Paralysis Costs

Why Parcel Shippers Freeze—And How ebb Logistics Helps Them Move Forward

Let’s be honest—logistics leaders aren’t ignoring cost savings. They’re just stuck.

Across today’s supply chains, decision paralysis is more common than most realize. Whether it’s switching carriers, restructuring rates, or even challenging legacy agreements, hesitation has become the norm.

We see it every day.

🚨 Shippers Know the Problem

Most parcel shippers aren’t in the dark. They see what’s happening:

• Their shipping rates continue to worsen year after year.
• FedEx and UPS are rolling out new surcharges almost monthly. In fact, since June, over five new fees have been introduced.
• Negotiation leverage has all but vanished. Many shippers are stuck in multi-year contracts that no longer reflect the current market—yet face penalties for renegotiating early.

Despite all of this, action is rare.

🤔 Why the Inaction?

It’s not ignorance. It’s uncertainty.

For many logistics teams, making a move—any move—feels like a risk:

• “What if a new carrier can’t meet our service expectations?”
• “What if switching causes delays or confusion for customers?”
• “What if now just isn’t the right time?”

This mindset creates inertia. And while companies stand still, their costs climb, and their margins shrink.

✅ It’s Time to Take Back Control

If you’ve been debating a change, here’s the hard truth: inaction is costing you every single day.

The longer you wait, the more leverage slips through your fingers. Carriers know it. And they use it.
