Jim,
My company discount is probably about the same % as yours, but the bigger thing is to reduce the combined 3 dimensions to get the cost down - if you can with the item, or if multiple items it may be less in 2 separate smaller 3x dims. boxes - or if you can cut down the padding materials some for the reduced 3x dims. box size, without compromising the item's safety. My biz doesn't find FedEx Ground any cheaper than UPS, usually more (with each's respective biz discount). You can also save a bit by dropping the item off at UPS. I agree with others on the truck & Greyhound services on anything fragile .... or even not so fragile, as in cementuous siding, roofing tiles, etc. getting busted up by the trucking companies!
