Navigating 2024 Peak Shipping Season with ShipNetwork's Xparcel

As the shipping landscape evolves with changes in postal programs and peak season surcharges, businesses need reliable, cost-effective solutions to stay competitive. Shipping costs can skyrocket during the holiday season, making it crucial for businesses to optimize their fulfillment process and shipping budget. At ShipNetwork, we partner with FirstMile to bring their advanced Xparcel ship method to our clients, ensuring your packages are delivered with speed and efficiency while keeping costs in check, even during the busiest season of the year.

Xparcel: Built for 2024’s Shipping Challenges

With the USPS discontinuing discounts for sub-1lb packages (1-15.99 oz.) as part of their “Delivering for America” campaign, many businesses may face disruptions in their shipping strategies, especially for final mile delivery. But ShipNetwork’s partnership with FirstMile allows us to leverage Xparcel, a dynamic shipping solution built to manage these kinds of industry shifts. By utilizing a network of national, regional, and last-mile carriers, Xparcel ensures that your packages are delivered at the lowest possible cost without compromising on service quality​​. This helps maintain your bottom line while meeting customer expectations.

Xparcel is an exclusive ship method that analyzes key factors such as weight, dimensions, and destination to optimize every shipment. This means you can continue shipping lightweight packages at competitive rates even in the face of market changes. Our service is designed to be flexible and scalable, helping eCommerce businesses of all sizes thrive during the holiday season and beyond. From order fulfillment to tracking status, ShipNetwork supports your operations end-to-end to meet the evolving needs of the eCommerce sector​​.
