Case Study: SimpleTire achieves $1M+ in shipping fee recovery and ongoing surcharge reduction with Sifted

Where the Rubber Meets the Road on Shipping Fee Audit, Recovery and Reduction

SimpleTire, a high-volume tire retailer that manages millions of shipments connecting thousands of distributors and installation centers, was struggling to monitor parcel surcharges, reconcile disparate carrier invoices, and hold carriers accountable for errors and late deliveries. To gain visibility into cost drivers and refund opportunities, SimpleTire engaged Sifted and adopted Sifted’s audit and insights platform along with parcel pay and data-connect solutions to centralize shipping data and KPIs.

Sifted imported carrier data quickly, provided intuitive dashboards to spot irregular surcharges and inflated weights, and automated carrier bill audit and payment—uncovering refund opportunities the same day. As a result, Sifted helped SimpleTire secure thousands in surcharge credits, reduce fee spikes and invoice errors, save staff hours (a six‑figure productivity gain), and recover or avoid more than $1 million in shipping fees in the first year.
