What you get

Every label goes out on the right carrier.

Rates change by weight, box size and ZIP code. One carrier can't be the cheapest everywhere. So we check them all, one package at a time.

Lower postage

Each package goes to the carrier with the lowest rate for its weight and destination. Cents per label add up over a month of orders.

Dates you can keep

We only choose from carriers that arrive inside your delivery promise. If the cheapest one is too slow for that order, we skip it.

Nothing to manage

It runs in our warehouse as part of fulfillment. You don't compare rates, buy labels or keep carrier accounts.

How it works

What happens between the order and the label.

01

We size the box before we price it.

Carriers bill on box size as well as weight. We pack each order in the smallest box that fits. That keeps a light order from being billed as a heavy one.

Too big
14 × 10 × 6 in
Weighs 3.2 lb. Billed as 7 lb.
Right size
12 × 9 × 4 in
Weighs 3.2 lb. Billed as 4 lb.

Example using a 139 dimensional divisor.

Your rules come first.

Want wholesale on one carrier? Big orders on 2-day? Tell us once. We set the rule, and the rate shop works inside it on every order after that.

03

Regional carriers where they win. National carriers everywhere else.

Regional carriers price some lanes well below the national ones. National carriers reach every ZIP. We use both, lane by lane, and ship to all 50 states.

FAQ

Rate shopping questions

Something else on your mind? Call 929-900-1101 or book a call with the team.

What is rate shopping?

It means pricing one package across several carriers and picking the best option before the label prints. We do it on every order we ship.

Which carriers do you shop?

USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, UniUni, SpeedX, GOFO, Better Trucks, Veho and ePost Global, plus others. That is 12+ carriers and 30+ services.

Does rate shopping cost extra?

No. It is part of how we ship every order. Our pricing is all-in, with no other fees.

Can I choose the carrier for some orders?

Yes. Set a carrier by sales channel, SKU or order type and we lock it in. Every other order still gets shopped.

How do you handle delivery dates?

You tell us the promise you make to customers. We only pick carriers that meet it, counted in business days.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. International orders are shopped across our cross-border carriers, including DHL Express and ePost Global.

When do orders ship?

Orders in by 3:30pm ship the same day.
