Introduction

Have you ever felt that you might be overpaying for shipping services but not sure where to begin in verifying the billing accuracy? You’re not alone. A significant number of businesses constantly grapple with comparing their estimated shipping costs against what they are actually charged by carriers like FedEx and UPS. With the advent of specialized tools and services, such as the Parcel Billing Reconciliation for PostalMate, this task has become significantly easier. In this blog post, we delve into how you can leverage Refund Retriever’s new tool to ensure accurate billing and save your business money.

What is PostalMate?

PostalMate is a multi-carrier shipping software designed to streamline the shipping processes for retail pack and ship centers. It provides businesses with a comprehensive solution to manage and execute high volumes of shipping transactions efficiently. Despite its robust capabilities, many businesses find it challenging to reconcile estimated shipping costs with the actual charges reflected in FedEx or UPS invoices.

Introducing Parcel Billing Reconciliation

Refund Retriever now offers a Parcel Billing Reconciliation feature for PostalMate users, which helps bridge this gap. This tool allows shippers to compare estimated shipping costs against actual carrier charges, ensuring that you only pay what’s due.
