eShipper

One platform for carriers, labels and parcels

eShipper is a shipping and logistics company based in Canada, and it serves merchants in Canada and the United States. Its main product is a multi-carrier shipping platform for online sellers. The platform compares rates and books shipments with Canada Post, UPS, FedEx and Purolator, and it tracks every parcel in one place. The company dates its service to 1999 and says it has worked with sellers from first-time store owners up to large enterprises. Its site says it has served more than 25,000 sellers across North America.

Courier, freight and cross-border shipping

The shipping services cover courier and freight, mail, and domestic and international shipping. Cross-border work includes shipments from Canada to the US, along with next-day and air options. The company describes the platform as a place to compare all carriers and manage every shipment in one place.

Warehousing and fulfillment

The fulfillment side stores stock and handles orders from fulfillment centers across Canada. The site lists subscription-box and crowdfunding orders among the work it handles, and presents a warehousing service for businesses that need storage as well as shipping.

Connections to online stores and marketplaces

eShipper connects with e-commerce platforms, including a Shopify app and links to Amazon FBA and FBM and Walmart Marketplace. Batch shipping and automation rules are part of the setup, so that repeated orders can be processed together rather than one at a time.

Managed logistics and specialist deliveries

For larger shippers, eShipper offers managed logistics, with a supply chain set up around the client's needs and a dedicated team to run it. The site also lists white-glove delivery, and shipments that fly out on the next available plane. Brands selling online, business-to-business shippers, logistics providers and large enterprises can all use the platform, whether they run one store or several.

Account managers and support

The company says each client has one-to-one help from a dedicated account manager, and that it offers support around the clock. Its site presents the service as suited to a seller at the start of a business as well as one that is already scaling up.
