Shipping for
Veteran-owned brands.
A values-aligned shipping practice for veteran-owned businesses.
Overview
We work with veteran-owned brands — DTC, B2B, apparel, food and beverage, defense supply — at every volume tier. We don't run a special discount program; we run a shipping practice that's structurally cheaper, with a real account rep who will know your business.
What gets in the way.
- —
Limited supplier-diversity-aligned shipping options
- —
High retail carrier rates on lower volumes
- —
Generic SaaS shipping tools missing veteran-brand identity
- —
Time spent managing multiple carrier relationships
— How L5 solves it
What L5 does about it.
- ✓
Multi-carrier rate-shopping that lowers structural cost — not a promo discount
- ✓
A named account rep on every account
- ✓
Small Business Enterprise status that counts toward supplier-diversity targets
— How veteran-owned brands programs roll out
Four steps,
2-4 weeks.
I.
Rate analysis.
Send your last 90 days of shipping data. We benchmark against L5's multi-carrier rate engine and produce a side-by-side comparison within one business day. No carrier login required.
II.
Program design.
We design carrier mix, service tiers, and operational workflow tailored to your industry's requirements. USPS work-share plus multi-carrier is the default stack.
III.
Integration.
API or pre-built integration with your e-commerce, WMS, or ERP. Most go live in 2–4 weeks.
IV.
Live shipping + QBR.
You start shipping with rate-shopping live. Quarterly business reviews track savings and find new optimization. The named account rep stays on your account.
