In most cases they may scale back one or more surcharges; however, watch for the surcharge to increase later. Also most shipping discount % plans don't apply to surcharges. If you are looking for real shipping cost savings you should store inventory closer to end buyers. If you sell internationally, move a small amount of inventory into the international market. http://www.shipwire.com makes this easy to do. We offer warehouses in the US, Canada and the UK.
