You may have noticed that shipping rates — especially for ground transportation — have gone up significantly across the board. We want to be transparent about why this is happening and how Mazer Wholesale, Inc. is working hard to keep your costs down.

Why Have Shipping Rates Increased So Drastically?

Why It’s This Happening? Several Reasons:

1. Shipping carriers have been facing increased operating expenses across the board — from fuel and maintenance to labor and regulatory compliance.
2. During COVID, the trucking workforce was drastically diminished. Thus, truck drivers who stayed in the business were able to negotiate higher wages.
3. Many freight companies failed during, and since COVID.
4. All these issues stack up to delays due to a shortage of drivers and higher demand. Higher demand always forces rates higher. 

We Strive to Be a Great Asset to Your Business

So Here’s What We’re Doing to Serve You Better:

We’re actively working with our logistics partners to:

• Find and negotiate lower shipping rates and deeper discounts
• We pay ALL our freight carriers’ invoices lightning fast which gives us leverage in negotiating rates
• We have many freight brokers with whom we find smaller (and hungrier) carriers who provide cheaper rates
• Ship from multiple distribution points to minimize distance and cost.

At Mazer Wholesale, our mission has always been to deliver high-value products at the lowest possible total cost, and that includes doing everything we can to reduce shipping-related expenses for you.
