Parcel shipping for subscription boxes.

Turn predictable recurring volume into your biggest negotiating lever.

Subscription boxes ship the same profile, on a schedule, at scale. That predictability is the strongest leverage in parcel, and most subscription brands never use it. We help you cash it in and audit every shipment.

The subscription box problem

Recurring volume is an asset, but only if you negotiate against it and watch the surcharges that scale with it.

Leverage left on the table

Predictable monthly volume is exactly what carriers reward, yet most subscription brands sign standard rates.

Surcharges scale with you

Residential and handling fees apply to every box, so a small per-unit fee becomes a large recurring cost.

Batch timing meets peak

Shipping a whole cohort at once can collide with peak windows and demand surcharges.
