The problem

Carriers price by volume — and you're paying solo rates

Most businesses shipping 200–5,000 packages a month are on default carrier pricing — rates set years ago, or never negotiated at all. Meanwhile, high-volume shippers move the same box, on the same truck, for meaningfully less. The gap leaks $1–4 at a time, on every package, every day.

You can't negotiate volume pricing you don't have the volume for. But you can ship under an account that already has it. That's what we do.

How it works

A rate comparison in three steps

01

Send your package profile

Email your typical package dimensions and weight, plus a few of the zip codes you ship to most. A recent invoice helps for an exact side-by-side, but it's optional. Takes about a minute.

02

We quote the same service on volume pricing

We run your profile through a high-volume FedEx/UPS account — same carriers, same service levels — and send back a straightforward comparison against what you're paying now.

03

Ship the same way, pay less

If the rate wins, you start shipping on it. Same pickup driver, same tracking, same boxes, same tape. If it doesn't win, you've confirmed your rates are sharp — for free.

Who it's for

Built for businesses that ship on their own UPS or FedEx account

  • DTC brands fulfilling orders in-house from a warehouse, studio, or shop
  • Wholesale distributors and industrial suppliers shipping daily
  • Manufacturers with e-commerce or B2B parcel volume
  • Marketplace sellers buying their own UPS/FedEx postage at volume

Shipping 200+ packages a month and looking to reduce shipping costs? You're exactly who this is built for — especially if your packages are heavy or dense. (Fulfilled by a 3PL? This won't apply — your 3PL owns the carrier relationship.)

How this is possible

We partner with a licensed logistics company that ships at high volume. Carriers give volume shippers better per-package pricing, and those negotiated rates extend to shippers on the account — that's the whole mechanism, and it's how large shippers have always paid less.

The comparison is free and the rate we quote is the rate you pay. No audit fee, no retainer, no percentage bill — our margin is already built into the account's volume pricing.

Questions

What everyone asks first

What do you need to quote my rate?

Your typical package dimensions and weight, plus a few of the zip codes you ship to most. A recent invoice helps for an exact side-by-side, but it isn't required. Takes about a minute to send.

Do we have to switch carriers?

No. It's the same FedEx and UPS — same drivers, same tracking, same service levels. The rate comes through a different, higher-volume account. You keep packing and shipping exactly the same way.

How is a lower rate on the same service possible?

Carriers price by volume. We partner with a licensed logistics company that ships at high volume, and their negotiated rates extend to shippers on their account. Big shippers have always paid less per package — this puts that pricing within reach.

What does it cost?

The comparison is free, and the rate we quote is the rate you pay. There's no audit fee, no retainer, no percentage bill from ShipOn — our margin is already built into the account's volume pricing.

What if your quote isn't cheaper?

Then you've confirmed for free that your current rates are sharp — worth knowing before carrier rates move again. No obligation either way.

Is our shipping data safe?

Package sizes, destinations, and any invoice you share are used to build your quote and nothing else. Never shared, sold, or retained beyond the conversation.
