One price, and one reason it can change.
Four things usually go wrong when you move a pallet: the price changes after the fact, the delivery service is quoted back to you later, you need your own carrier contracts, and you pay a subscription to find out. Here is how we are built differently.
What you’re probably using now.
Nobody shops for freight software in the abstract. There are four things you could be doing instead, and each breaks in its own way.
| ShipEasy | Parcel apps | Quoting tools on your own contracts | Broker portals | Carrier portals & a spreadsheet | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moves pallets, crates and anything over 150 lb | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Carrier contracts included | Yes | n/a | Bring your own | Yes | Bring your own |
| Monthly or per-seat fee | None | Usually | Usually | Varies | None |
| White glove and room of choice priced inside the quote | Yes | No | Rarely | Quoted back to you | Phone call |
| Three carriers rated side by side in one request | Yes | Parcel only | Yes | Varies | One at a time |
| Quotes from inside the Shopify order | Yes | For parcel | No | No | No |
| Carrier’s Bill of Lading issued automatically | Yes | n/a | Varies | Yes | You type it |
| Tracking page your customer opens stays your brand | Yes | Varies | n/a | Broker’s brand | Carrier’s brand |
| REST API into your own ERP or order desk | On request | Yes | Varies | Varies | No |
We are not trying to replace your parcel app — keep it for anything under 150 lb. See what we do and don’t quote.
Four decisions that are hard to copy.
Not features so much as guarantees. Each one is enforced in the software rather than promised in a sales call.
-
The quoted number is the billed number
Our margin and the accessorials are already inside the rate you were shown, so no second invoice arrives from us. Before the freight moves we re-rate the lane twice — once when you start the booking, once immediately before we tender — and a difference of one cent stops the booking rather than adjusting your charge. A booking that would go out below carrier cost is refused outright.
The one thing that can move the number afterwards is the carrier’s own measurement. If it reweighs, remeasures or reclassifies the freight against what was declared, the charge is adjusted either way within 60 days on the payment method on file — and you are told, with 30 days to dispute it. That is Terms § 8.3, and it is the only exception on this page.
-
Quotes that are genuinely comparable
Carriers describe transit differently. We collapse every range to its slowest day through one shared piece of code, so “5 business days” means the same thing on two competing quotes. And when two carriers offer the same service, we keep the one that is cheaper for you — ranked on the all-in price, not on our cost.
-
The delivery experience is a price, not a phone call
Curbside, room of choice and white glove come back as rates on the quote, priced from the carriers’ own accessorial tables. A second person on the truck, a weekend pickup and the New York metro surcharge are detected from the shipment itself — you don’t have to know the rule to be quoted correctly.
-
You stay the brand your customer bought from
The tracking page we generate for a consignee is forwardable, needs no login, and never mentions ShipEasy. A broker portal makes your customer read someone else’s name on the page where their sofa is late. We think that’s your relationship, not ours.
The rest of the reasons.
-
No carrier accounts, no commitment
We are the licensed broker (FMCSA MC‑1483730), so there is nothing to sign with CEVA, Alliance or AIT and no volume you have to promise anyone.
-
Nothing to pay to find out
Quoting is free and unlimited, there is no subscription and no per-seat charge. You pay once per Bill of Lading, on the number you already saw.
-
Two front doors, one desk behind them
A Shopify app for order-driven freight and a browser portal for reps quoting live. Same carriers, same rates, same Bill of Lading, and support cases from both land in one queue.
-
Built for a team, not a seat
A shared SKU catalog so nobody retypes dimensions, roles and invites, saved consignees, and every booking shown next to the name of whoever made it. Groups that trade under several entities switch organizations without a second password.
-
Security you can check, not just read
Personal data encrypted at rest with AES‑256‑GCM, optional two-factor sign-in with recovery codes, self-serve data export, and a published DPA, AUP and Shipper Services Agreement.
-
A real recovery path when a carrier misbehaves
A tender that times out is never silently retried into a double booking. Failed bookings get re-tendered at the price you already paid, and a carrier can be pulled from rotation immediately rather than at the next release.
Where we’re the wrong choice.
Cheaper to tell you now than after you’ve installed it.
We print no UPS, FedEx or USPS labels and don’t want to. Under 150 lb is somebody else’s job.
ShipEasy quotes from the order after it’s placed, not live in the Shopify checkout.
Contiguous 48 states plus DC, in USD. Alaska, Hawaii and international are on the roadmap.
We rate on our contracts across three networks. If you have hard-won contracts of your own, a bring-your-own-carrier tool will serve you better.
