Any competent shipping department can get discounts on shipping just for asking. Shipping ~1000 boxes ought to qualify for discounts in its own right. Pirate Ship (think service like Stamps.com) can get discounts and optimize which shipper is cheapest per individual package.
Anyhoo, I just got an update from Clover Press' Kickstarter for David Nakayama's art book. They gave pics of stacks of boxes containing books, pics of bonus material, pics of books. What a difference a sponsor makes..
