Universal Unilink Strengthens Member Benefits with Una's Preferred FedEx Shipping Rates - Universal

At Universal Unilink, empowering independent distributors with competitive advantages has been at the heart of our mission since day one. By negotiating strategic agreements across industries like uniforms, textiles, laundry services, and promotional products, Universal Unilink helps members drive growth, reduce costs, and deliver exceptional value to their customers.

Today, we’re proud to announce a new business solutions supplier partnership that elevates what we offer members — blending powerful operational tools with additional savings opportunities that align beautifully with our core value of helping your business thrive.

Fueling Operational Efficiency with Discounted FedEx Shipping

One of the standout elements of this expanded supplier network is access to a discounted parcel shipping program powered through the FedEx agreement available via Una’s parcel shipping program. Through this program, qualifying members can benefit from significant reductions on FedEx shipping services, including:

Discounted FedEx Ground, Express, and international services, helping members reduce logistics expenses across varied shipment types.
Pre-negotiated rate agreements include negotiated reductions on surcharges and built-in price protection guarantees.
Complimentary cost comparisons and spend analyses, giving members clear visibility into potential savings versus their current shipping spend

Having access to these FedEx shipping savings doesn’t just lower parcel costs, strengthens your service offerings, helps protect margins, and makes pricing proposals more competitive in today’s cost-sensitive marketplace.

Maximizing Savings Across a Broad Supplier Network

In addition to shipping advantages, Universal Unilink members gain access to negotiated pricing and rebates with more than 100+ industry leading suppliers — giving members leverage they simply wouldn’t have on their own. Some of the cost-saving opportunities available through our expanded supplier ecosystem include:

Business services discounts
Packaging, office, and supply management solutions
Training and marketing partnerships

Across these agreements, members typically see meaningful savings, often capturing 18–22% in cost reductions on core categories through our negotiated contracts and strategic sourcing support.

What This Means for Members

By broadening our supplier ecosystem and championing high-impact solutions like the enhanced FedEx shipping program, Universal Unilink continues to:

Strengthen member margins without forcing changes to existing purchasing workflows.
Simplify access to savings across supplies, services, logistics, and marketing — all under one membership umbrella.
Equip businesses with tools that reduce costs while enhancing competitiveness in an evolving marketplace.

This expanded partnership underscores our commitment to delivering real, quantifiable value — not just in product pricing, but across the business solutions that matter most to your bottom line.
