Shipping: 20 Carriers, One Rate Card, Zero Contracts

ShipCube ships through 20 carrier partners — FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS and more — at pre-negotiated discounts, with automatic carrier optimization picking the cheapest eligible service for every single parcel.

Why routed shipping beats one carrier

No single carrier is cheapest everywhere. ShipCube’s carrier optimization evaluates each parcel — weight, zone, service level — and routes it through the cheapest eligible option among our 20 partners, automatically. You never negotiate a carrier contract, chase a rate review, or reconcile three invoices; the discount structure is baked into the service.

Reliability is measured, not promised: 98.7% on-time delivery on a rolling 90-day average, across a network that has shipped more than 50 million packages. Anomaly detection (part of the AI layer in every plan) flags unusual patterns — sudden delay clusters, misroutes — before they become customer complaints.

Published parcel rates

Cross-border markets add local last-mile delivery handled by ShipCube — including customs and VAT in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Freight (pallet/LTL) ships through the B2B service.

Where parcels originate

Orders ship from whichever facility our AI routing picks as optimal for the destination:

What the routing engine actually weighs

Carrier optimization is one of six AI capabilities included in every ShipCube plan. For each parcel it weighs weight, destination zone and required service level against the live rate structure across our 20 carrier partners — national networks like FedEx, UPS, DHL and USPS alongside regional and last-mile specialists such as UniUni and GOFO — and books the cheapest eligible option. Multiplied across thousands of parcels, small per-parcel differences become a visible line on your monthly cost breakdown, which the dashboard shows per order.

Because parcels originate from whichever facility is closest to the customer (intelligent order routing decides that upstream), zone distances shrink before carrier selection even begins — the two systems compound.

Switching your shipping over

Shipping is part of fulfillment onboarding, not a separate integration: once your store connects (days 1–2 of the ~12-day arc), rates apply to every order from the first live shipment. There are no carrier accounts to open, no rate cards to negotiate, and no annual commitments — the discount structure rides on ShipCube’s volume, not yours.
