DO YOU WANT MORE MONEY? Try our calculator & reduce carrier costs

In retail, guesswork is no good when it comes to costs. Whether integrating with carriers directly, or doing so through legacy delivery management platforms, retailers readily accept that delivery costs for individual orders must be based on estimates. These estimates are, more often than not, higher than the true cost of delivery for the individual order. Because, reasons. (See this blog!)

This means you end up paying over the odds for surcharges and rates that you’re more than likely not using. We’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way.

Ship’s smarter than that. Our system recognises individual rates and surcharges and accurately applies them for every order you send. Using a number of other business rules set specifically based on the individual retailer’s set up (including warehouse operational calendars and service preferences), our true cost allocation typically saves our customers between 1 – 5% of their annual carrier costs. Not bad, eh?

How much could you save? Well, we’re glad you asked.

Just put your annual order volume into our cost savings calculator, and gaze in wonder at your potential savings.

Assumptions: Still want to know how we did it? Ah, here’s a hint then.

The calculator estimates your carrier services savings, based on our true-cost allocation process. We use industry average carrier costs across international and domestic, and economy and premium services to crunch the numbers. We also estimate ‘parcels per order’ and average order value based on third-party research figures.
