See What the Same Packages Cost Through Thrive.
Send us 30 days of shipment data. We rate every one of those packages against the carrier accounts we have already negotiated, surcharges included, then sit down with you and walk through the numbers line by line. You keep the analysis either way.

Nobody Sends You an Invoice That Says You Overpaid
Shipping is usually the second-largest line in an ecommerce P&L, behind the cost of goods, and it is the one almost nobody audits. That is not for lack of caring; there is nothing to audit it against. You have one rate sheet, yours, and no way to see what the same package costs anyone else.
So the number goes up a few percent a year and it looks like the cost of doing business. Fuel surcharges add up. Residential and delivery-area charges land on addresses that look perfectly ordinary. The rate you shopped is not the rate you paid, and by the time the invoice arrives the package is already delivered and the margin is already gone.
A parcel analysis settles it, not with a pitch but with your own shipments priced two ways.
Carrier discounts scale with volume. On your own, you are quoting against a book of rates built for someone shipping far more than you do.
Surcharges land after the quote. Fuel, residential, delivery area, and dimensional charges routinely add 15 to 25 percent on top of the base rate you were shown.
You cannot benchmark what you cannot see. You have never read another brand's rate sheet, so "is this good?" has never had an answer.
Shipping from one coastal warehouse pushes a large share of your orders into the highest zones, which is the most expensive way to reach the other half of the country.
Your buyers expect free shipping, so every dollar of parcel cost comes straight out of your contribution margin.
Your Packages, Priced Two Ways
We Rate Your Real Shipments, Not a Sample Quote
Send a 30-day export with the origin and destination addresses, whether each destination is residential or commercial, package weights and dimensions, the service level used, and what you actually paid for each shipment. We rate every one of those packages, not a representative handful, so the comparison reflects what you ship rather than what a calculator assumes.
Our Negotiated Rates, Not Published Ones
We rate-shop every package across USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and regional carriers on accounts negotiated at the combined volume of every brand in our building. That is the part a single brand cannot replicate on its own, and it is the part the analysis makes visible.
Surcharges Included, Because That Is Where the Money Goes
Base rates are the part everyone compares and the part that matters least. We price fuel, residential, delivery area, and dimensional charges into every line, so the comparison holds up against a real invoice instead of falling apart on it.
Shipping from Houston Compresses the Expensive Half of Your Zones
Parcel rates climb with distance. Shipping from the middle of the country instead of a coast pulls your far-corner packages down into lower zones, which narrows the gap between your cheapest shipment and your most expensive one and makes a blended cost you can actually plan around.
Three Steps to Better Fulfillment
Send Your Shipment Data
A 30-day export from your store, your WMS, or your carrier portal. We need the from and to addresses, a residential or commercial flag on each destination, package weights and dimensions, the service level, and the amount paid on each shipment. Tell us what you run and we will send instructions for pulling it.
We Rate Every Package
Our team prices each shipment against our negotiated accounts across USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and regional carriers, with fuel and accessorial surcharges applied the way a real invoice applies them. It usually takes a few days.
We Walk You Through It Together
You get a call with us to go through your numbers: what you paid, what the same package costs through Thrive, and which lanes drive the difference. The analysis is yours to keep whether or not you ever send us a pallet.
What the analysis actually involves
- 1
A short call
Fifteen minutes on what you ship, where it goes, and which carriers you use today, which is enough for us to know what to ask for.
- 2
One data export
We need thirty days of shipments, and most platforms export that in a couple of clicks. We will send instructions for yours.
- 3
We do the rating
Our team prices your packages against our accounts, surcharges included, usually within a few days. You do no spreadsheet homework.
- 4
A call to go through it
We walk you through where the difference sits and which lanes drive it. We do not email a number and leave you to interpret it. If the gap is not worth moving for, we will tell you, and you still keep a benchmark nobody had given you before.
