Rising costs. More complexity. Limited visibility.
Parcel shipping today isn’t just more expensive – it’s more unpredictable and harder to control.
Reveel partnered with Supply Chain Dive’s studioID to survey over 150 logistics and supply chain leaders across industries to uncover the biggest parcel shipping challenges, strategies, and opportunities heading into 2026. Below is your early look at the trends shaping the future of parcel logistics, and how your peers are navigating the chaos.
Key Stats from the Report
22% of total operating costs go to logistics, with parcel spend often exceeding $10M annually for many companies.
91% of shippers plan to expand their carrier network in the next 12 months.
87% expect their shipping volume to increase this year.
60% say packaging optimization is their most effective strategy for cutting shipping costs.
Only 45% feel satisfied with their current shipping tech stack.
What’s Driving Parcel Chaos?
Dynamic pricing & hidden surcharges
From DIM weight confusion to stealthy handling fees, carriers are changing the game.
Volume growth
Thanks to eCommerce, subscriptions, and generous return policies, companies are shipping more than ever.
Capacity & service concerns
Late deliveries, lost parcels, and poor performance are pushing shippers to diversify and rethink carrier relationships.
Lack of visibility
Over half of respondents admit to blind spots in key areas like forecasting, vendor performance, and inventory insights.
What Top Performers Are Doing Differently
Investing in shipping intelligence platforms to model “what if” scenarios, analyze carrier data, and identify savings.
Tracking cost-to-serve metrics that go beyond per-package rates to include on-time performance, damage rates, and more.
Automating GL coding and accruals to close the books faster and reduce manual labor.
Using real-time, AI-powered insights to guide daily decisions and strategic pivots.
Why It Matters
Every shipper is feeling the pressure but not every shipper has a plan. This report gives you a strategic edge, with real-world benchmarks and data-backed recommendations to help you reduce costs, improve performance, and take back control of your parcel spend.
