Overview

Carrier-direct parcel rates without running five carrier accounts.

Parcel is the small-package end of the network — single cartons, multi-piece small-package orders and high-volume e-commerce fulfillment. Instead of you maintaining separate FedEx, UPS, USPS and Canada Post relationships, Qeep rate-shops each shipment across carriers and service levels, manifests and prints labels in bulk, and consolidates tracking and billing into one view. For cross-border parcel we handle customs, duties and taxes (DDP or DDU) so packages clear cleanly and land on time.

How it works

From quote to POD, step by step.

Connect & import

We integrate with your store or ERP (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, EDI) or take a flat-file, and import orders with addresses and contents.

Rate-shop & label

Each shipment is rated across carriers and service levels for the best cost-to-transit, then labels and customs docs are generated in bulk.

Manifest & tender

Packages are manifested and handed to the carrier with end-of-day close-out, and cross-border shipments are pre-cleared with duties/taxes set.

Track & reconcile

Tracking flows back to you and your customers in one view, and we audit carrier invoices so you only pay for what actually shipped.

Pricing

What drives the rate?

Transparent inputs, not mystery margins. Here’s exactly what goes into a parcel quote.

Get my rate

Billable weight

Parcel is priced on the greater of actual and dimensional weight (L×W×H ÷ DIM divisor), so right-sized boxes save real money.

Zone & service level

Cost rises with distance (zone) and speed (ground vs express); we pick the cheapest option that still hits the deadline.

Surcharges

Residential, fuel, additional-handling and peak-season surcharges add up — we flag and minimize them per shipment.

Cross-border duties

DDP (you prepay duties/taxes) vs DDU (recipient pays) changes landed cost and the customer experience; we set it up either way.

Frequently asked

Parcel questions, answered.

What counts as parcel vs LTL?

Parcel is generally individual packages up to about 150 lbs each that ship through small-package carriers (FedEx, UPS, USPS, Canada Post). Once a shipment is palletized or exceeds parcel weight/size limits, LTL is usually cheaper. We’ll quote both and route each order the cheaper way.

Which carriers do you use?

FedEx, UPS, USPS, Canada Post and regional/last-mile carriers. Because we rate-shop across all of them per shipment, you get the best cost-to-transit on each package instead of being locked to one carrier’s rate card.

Do you handle cross-border parcel and customs?

Yes. We manage the customs entry, duties and taxes for cross-border parcel — set up as DDP (you prepay so the customer pays nothing on delivery) or DDU (recipient pays) — so packages clear cleanly and arrive without surprise fees.

Can you integrate with my store?

Yes — we connect to Shopify, Amazon, Walmart and other platforms via integration or EDI, or accept a flat-file, then import orders, rate-shop, print labels and push tracking back automatically.

How is parcel priced?

On billable weight — the greater of actual and dimensional weight — plus zone (distance), service level and any surcharges (residential, fuel, peak). We right-size packaging and rate-shop to keep all of those as low as possible, and audit the carrier invoices to catch overcharges.
