It has been hardly few months since a Seattle based Equaship has
made its entrance into the market in the parcel sector. This company has made a
remarkable name in this sector as it is cost efficient for the shippers that
normally turn to the parcel duopoly of UPS and FedEx. Equaship is geared
towards the ecommerce sellers and also the small shippers. The main reason for
which it stands out is that it offers the prices to the small shippers which
are otherwise available only to the large enterprise shippers.
The companies availing the services of
Equaship can have access to their websites which will give them an overview of
all their services and also help them to compare their prices as compared to
the prices of FedEx, USPS and UPS and also help the shippers to calculate the
potential savings that they can make under different scenarios. The shippers
also don’t need to crawl through the confusing and complicated pricing tables
of FedEx.
A partnership has been created between
Equaship and Blue Package Delivery .the Blue Package Delivery is a non asset
based parcel delivery consolidator which does all the deliveries of various shipments
and packages through contracts. For any shipper the price at which the delivery
will happen is the most important factor. Equaship always focuses on this
important aspect and therefore has a made an important place for itself in the
market. It is said that these savings of Equaship is possible just because of
the fact that it provides services to small shippers at the price which is
otherwise available only to the large shippers and as a result they have a huge
clientele.
Equaship is a company which always plans for
its profitability and stability only when it reaches its break even point. It
has very low overheads and it doesn’t buy any kind of assets like airplanes.
Trucks or even buildings. As a result of this they can lower their prices and
also cover their overheads by earning more margins and sharing them with their
clients too.
Equaship is not the only solution for every
kind of parcel shipper but as far as the pricing of transport is concerned it
is the best option that one should always try.
