Overview
We help ecommerce brands and 3PLs cut their shipping costs through carrier negotiations.
Send us 90 days of your shipping data. We'll audit it for free and show you where you're overpaying. If we take you on as a client, we run a 6-week RFP across the carriers that fit your network: UPS, FedEx, DHL eCommerce, OnTrac, GLS, UniUni, Veho, and others. You get a clear recommendation, a structured test week to validate performance on your real packages, and contracts you sign directly with the carrier.
Flat fee, $5K to $15K. No markup on your rates. No middleman. 100% savings guarantee.
For shippers doing $50K+ per month in parcel.

Why teams choose us
- 01
100% Savings Guarantee
No savings, no fee. Free audit upfront, no retainers, no risk. We only get paid when your shipping costs actually drop.
- 02
Both Sides of the Table
Years running shipping for DTC brands and selling for carriers. We know where margin hides in a rate card because we've sat on both sides of the negotiation.
- 03
Holistic, Not Just Rates
Rate brokers chase the lowest number. We weigh price, CX, and ease of use so the carrier you pick still fits 12 months from now — not just on signing day.

Leadership
The people behind the work
Keyan Bazargan
Founder
I started Iron Margin after seeing the same shipping cost problems across multiple businesses: brands trapped in bad contracts, 3PLs reselling marked-up rates, and zero leverage to negotiate better terms. We're not a software platform. We're not a freight broker. We're your outsourced VP of Transportation.
