UPS Ground carried 60% of the shipments and 26% of the savings
UPS Ground is the default service on this account and the cheapest per label, which is exactly why Rollo Ship’s rate access is worth the least there. The two expedited UPS services cost more per label and gave back more.
60.3%
of shipments moved on UPS Ground
UPS Ground is already cheap at published retail.
A 48.9% discount on a $25 service moves less money than a 72.3% discount on one that lists at more than three times the price.

of the supplement brand’s Rollo Ship savings came from UPS 2nd Day Air and UPS 3 Day Select

Share of savings
ConclusionTwo tiers invert. UPS Ground and the USPS services carried more shipments than savings; the expedited UPS tiers and the international tier carried more savings than shipments. Shares are of all 615 shipments and of $17,348.31 saved against published retail rates. UPS Ground, 2nd Day Air, 3 Day Select, Next Day and the USPS services are US domestic services; every cross-border shipment in the record moved on a UPS international service and is counted only in that tier.

saved per international shipment
23 of the total 615 shipments — 3.7% of volume — left the United States for 4 countries. They produced $3,094.64 in Rollo Ship savings, 76.9% below the advertised retail prices for the carrier services selected.
International volume this small is easy to treat as a rounding error. On this account it generated nearly a fifth of the total Rollo Ship savings.
26 months on the record
This brand printed its first Rollo Ship label in mid-2024 and its most recent in August 2026 — a span of roughly 26 months, averaging about 24 shipments a month across it. The heaviest month named in the data saw 85 shipments.
Label usage is close to clean: 607 of the 615 Rollo Ship labels were used — 98.7%. Three shipments in the record are returns.
The export does not include a month-by-month series, so this case study makes no claim about growth, seasonality, or trend. What it does show is an account still printing Rollo Ship labels more than two years after its first one.
What this account demonstrates
Rate access pays off unevenly
On this account the deepest Rollo Ship discounts sat on UPS 2nd Day Air and UPS 3 Day Select, not on UPS Ground.
A quarter of the shipments produced more than half the savings
The cheapest service tier was not where the money was. An audit that looked only at share of spend would have missed it.
Occasional international shipping carries outsized value
3.7% of shipments, 17.8% of Rollo Ship savings, and $134.55 saved on the average one.
