UPS & FedEx discount rates for NYC businesses.
The NYC shipping broker for mid-market shippers.
New York City is home to fashion and apparel brands, media and agency operations, DTC consumer goods, specialty-food distributors, and every kind of office-based business that ships samples, documents, and client deliverables. Every one of those operators pays retail or near-retail UPS and FedEx rates by default. Priority Shippers unlocks wholesale UPS New York pricing without requiring enterprise-level volume commitments.
Our dedicated New York regional rep coordinates with NYC customers directly; additional regional reps cover New Jersey, Baltimore, and Los Angeles for customers in those markets. NYC customers route through the same wholesale carrier contracts as our cross-country shippers — same rates, same transparency.
Notable NYC lanes and their savings.
NYC is a dense carrier zone with short transit corridors up and down the Eastern Seaboard and long lanes out to the West Coast. Here's where the savings math typically lands on common NYC origin lanes.
Representative rates: 5 lb UPS Ground, residential destination, no accessorials. Air services compound faster — NYC → LA Next Day Air typically saves $18–25/label.

Frequently asked
Do you work with Manhattan office tenants who ship from their office?
Yes. Manhattan office-building pickup works through UPS and FedEx's standard commercial pickup service. If your building has a mailroom with scheduled carrier stops, we plug into that workflow. If you need on-demand pickup, UPS and FedEx both offer that accessorial at their published rates — passed through to your Priority Shippers invoice without markup.
Can you schedule pickups in Midtown during business hours?
Yes. Midtown is one of the densest carrier pickup zones in the country — UPS and FedEx both run multiple daily pickup loops between 10 AM and 6 PM. Most office-based NYC customers use scheduled daily pickups; some high-volume accounts in the Garment District or Flatiron arrange dedicated pickup windows.
Do you service Long Island businesses?
Yes. Long Island shippers — Nassau County, Suffolk County, the North and South Fork — run on the same wholesale UPS and FedEx rate structure. We've onboarded DTC brands, wholesale distributors, and e-commerce operators across Long Island. Pickup is handled by the carrier's regional routes.
Is there an advantage to being near JFK or Newark airports?
For international shipping, yes. UPS Worldwide Express and FedEx International Priority both operate direct gateway flights from JFK and EWR. Shipments tendered from NYC hit same-day gateway loading on most international services. The wholesale rate applies identically regardless of origin — you don't pay a premium for convenient airport proximity.
What about bulk mailings or catalog shipments?
UPS and FedEx both offer bulk shipping services. Priority Shippers wholesale contract covers SurePost, Mail Innovations, and FedEx SmartPost-style hybrid services for large-batch residential deliveries. Marketing-mail and catalog operators in NYC typically see their biggest savings on these hybrid services — often 25–40% below retail on volumes above 5,000 pieces per mailing.
