As a small business owner, using a shipping cost calculator provides huge advantages – saving time and money, the two most important factors in any business. However, not all shipping cost calculators are created equal. Here’s what you should look for.
FlagShip is More Than a Shipping Cost Calculator
A shipping cost calculator is an online tool used to calculate shipping fees for you, sometimes comparing shipping costs between multiple courier companies. As a small business owner or any new startup, using a shipping cost calculator provides huge advantages – namely saving time and money, which are the two most important ingredients in any business. However, not all shipping cost calculators are created equal – and at FlagShip we are much more than a shipping calculator! Here are factors you should look for in a shipping calculator, and how FlagShip will elevate your experience:
- SAVE TIME: A good shipping cost calculator makes quoting and processing shipments easy. By using a cost calculator, you won’t waste time having to go to multiple courier websites, entering all the shipment details, get shipping rates and have to do it all over again just to be able to find the courier who offers the best rate for your shipment. Repeating this process for every parcel you need to send out wastes so much time. FlagShip’s online shipping system is the only shipping cost calculator you need – enter your shipment details and see the shipping rates and services from leading courier companies, like Purolator, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Canpar and GLS – all in one place, on one screen. Click here to see how it works!
- SAVE MONEY: With new startups and small businesses, it is difficult to get any shipping discounts as most courier companies require a substantial shipping volume before you can access better discounts. Make sure the shipping cost calculator you are using is actually saving you money. The benefit of shipping with FlagShip is that you get 15 years of established volume discounts without having to guarantee volume or sign any agreements. There are no weekly service charges, no monthly fees and no yearly subscription renewals. Sign up now and start saving on your shipping today!
