How to get Fedex discounts (zz)

There are 5 ways to get discounts that I know of:
1) Payment method
2) Associations that your company belongs to
3) Volume based discounts
4) Online printing
5) Software packages
1) Pay with an American Express OPEN business card. You get 15% off Express, 5% off ground and up to 20% off international (export only).
Call FEDEX and say you would like talk to someone about lowering your rates. They will put you in contact with your account rep. Talk to your account rep and say you would like to associate your AMEX OPEN card with your account to lower your rates.
There are three different AMEX discount programs and I think they depend on which card you have. I forget the differences but some get more off envelopes, some get more off Express or International. The AMEX discounts are given back on your AMEX card as refund not as a discount immediately off your Fedex charges.
2) Fedex is not supposed to tell you about association discounts. They are also not supposed to tell you what associations give discounts. They WILL tell you what discount you will get from a specific association. So find a list of associations that have to do with your industry (or have nothing to do with your industry? http://www.embroiderytrade.org/benefits.shtml) and call them. Ask if they can get you FEDEX discounts and if they have a discount code. Then call FEDEX's association discount line at 800.345.6227, give them the code and ask what rates you would get for that association. Talk the FEDEX employee and see what info they can give you. Again, they are not supposed to tell you any association names besides the ones you specifically ask about. They did tell me a lot about the discounts I get from my AMEX card.
Association discounts DO interfere with AMEX discounts. They do not take it all away but I think you only get 5% off Express shipments + any association discount rates, not 15% off + association discount rates.
3) Ship a bunch of stuff for a few months, call your rep and promise them big numbers in the future and ask for lower rates. Tell them you also ship some with UPS and will have to switch over to UPS completely if they offer better rates.
4) Print your labels online and you get 5% off Express and International (except imports) but nothing off Ground shipments.
5) Use Quickbooks Pro and I think you save a few points but I have not actually tried it.
A few other things, Ground and Import are the hardest to get siginificant discounts on. For small to medium volume I would say 10 - 15% is a great discount. Also, you can either get association discounts or volume discounts, not both. For instance I get great association discounts for express and overnight packages over 10lbs but no discount what so ever on international imports, in fact I do not think any association discounts offer discounts on imports. But I do qualify for a volume discount on imports so I have to decide which will save me more money. I think the association discount will so I will probably start importing with UPS and barter for quantity discounts with them.

宝宝生病前的几个信号
宝宝在半岁以后，从母体自带的免疫物质减弱，抵抗力开始下降。自这时起，如若父母照顾不当，小宝宝很容易“弱不禁风”、“多病多灾”。小宝宝不会讲话，但他生病时会有些异样表现，这是传达给父母的信号。
体温当排除了哭闹、吃奶、衣被过厚、居室温度过高等所致的体温偏高后，若宝宝的体温仍超过37.6度，即为身体感染疾病的信号之一。
哭闹不安夜间哭闹并躁动不安，多属消化不良；哭泣声尖锐、急促、时哭时止、面部表情痛苦则多为肚子痛；若哭声低沉、反复出现多为慢性疾病；哭泣声尖 高，伴有发烧、呕吐则为颅内疾病或脑外伤；若哭闹不止且不吃东西，口臭味浓又流涎则多为口疮或舌炎；若触摸耳部哭闹且伴有摇头，多为中耳炎、外耳道炎或疖 肿、疮；排便时哭闹，多为肛门裂口、便秘难排；排尿时哭闹多为尿道或膀胱感染发炎……
不思饮食不想吃东西或吃奶次数减少，伴有精神萎靡不振时，多为发烧的先兆；呕吐、按腹或拒食则多为腹泻的先兆……
呼吸不均匀正常宝宝的呼吸既均匀又平稳、有节律。若呼吸急促、声音粗、鼻塞不畅通，多为呼吸道感染疾病；若呼吸短浅、有痰液滚动声、声音嘶哑、鼻翼煽动、口唇青紫等，则多为危险的重症肺炎，应及时送医院诊治。
