Shipping for
E-commerce.
Multi-carrier parcel for Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, and WooCommerce shippers.
Overview
E-commerce shipping lives or dies on per-order economics. Every cent saved on a label compounds across thousands of orders a week. L5's multi-carrier rate engine assigns each order to whichever carrier wins on price and service for that shipment — automatically, transparently, with a named account rep watching the numbers every month.
