There are many ways to get discounts from both package and LTL shippers. One would be Fedex will give you a discount (if you ask for it) just for paying for the shipment with a American Express OPEN business card. The problem is you need to ask for a specific discount and we do not know how often; what size; to where; you ship. Most of the discounts are made for big players anyway.
For a small player; someone that ships once or twice a week your best bet is a freight forwarder or re-seller. These guys get rates based on sending hundreds of shipments a day and then re-sell it to you. Even with their markup it is often cheaper than going directly to the shipper and getting a quote. They also do all the paper work and the only thing you need is a fax or computer printer at the shippers location.
Unishippers is a big one. They deal with UPS package and several LTL lines. Freightquote and freightcenter are two others I can think of off the top of my head but I think they only deal with LTL not package.
Another way to get the best price is to do away with up charges such as..... restricted access (farm or residential) appointments lift gates over size re-delivery cause no one was home
What ever route you take package the freight and package it well. The driver/loader could care less about your stuff and it is just another stop to them. If your stuff gets broke and you did not ship based on value or buy extra insurance you will not be happy to find out how the small print settles claims.

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
