Carrier Optimization for Premium Delivery

Unlock better margins and faster delivery with ShipX's unified carrier network through ShipHero.

Stop Choosing Between Speed and Cost

Traditional carriers force you to pick: pay for express or settle for slow ground shipping. ShipX's proprietary routing engine analyzes every shipment and selects the optimal combination of carriers to maximize both speed and savings. ShipHero automates this process entirely, routing eligible orders to ShipX without manual carrier selection.

One Integration, Complete Carrier Flexibility

ShipX isn't a single carrier: it's a unified delivery network. ShipHero handles the technical integration so your warehouse sees one streamlined label generation process. Behind the scenes, ShipX dynamically routes through express, ground, or postal services based on destination, urgency, and cost optimization.

Real-Time Visibility Across Every Shipment

ShipX's tracking data flows directly into your ShipHero dashboard alongside all your other carriers. Monitor the 98% on-time delivery rate, track packages in real-time, and receive proactive alerts about potential issues.

Features

Five Reasons Fulfillment Teams Choose ShipHero + ShipX

01
Multi-Carrier Intelligence Without Complexity

ShipX consolidates express, ground, and postal options into a single proprietary label. ShipHero generates these unified labels automatically, eliminating the need to manage relationships with multiple individual carriers or make manual routing decisions for each shipment.

02
Proven Cost and Speed Performance

ShipX delivers measurable results: 20% average cost savings compared to traditional single-carrier models and 15-25% improvement in transit times through optimized routing. ShipHero's integration ensures every eligible order benefits from these performance gains automatically.

03
Nationwide Coverage Without USPS Dependency

Unlike many multi-carrier solutions, ShipX maintains complete delivery capability across all 50 states without relying on USPS handoffs. This means fewer delivery exceptions, better tracking visibility, and consistent service quality from pickup to doorstep.

04
Carbon Neutral Operations

Every ShipX shipment is carbon neutral through optimized routing and carbon offset programs. ShipHero customers can offer sustainable shipping options without additional configuration, meeting consumer demand for environmentally responsible fulfillment.

05
Regional Express for Multi-Warehouse Setups

ShipX's regional express services leverage multi-warehouse configurations to minimize transit times while maintaining cost efficiency. If you operate multiple fulfillment locations, ShipHero's integration automatically routes orders to the optimal warehouse and applies ShipX's regional optimization.

FAQ

FAQs

How does ShipHero decide which orders go to ShipX?

ShipHero's automation rules evaluate each order's destination, package specifications, and your configured cost and service level preferences. When ShipX provides the optimal combination of speed and savings for eligible zones, orders route automatically through ShipX's multi-carrier network without manual intervention.

Do I need a separate contract with ShipX?

Yes. You'll establish your own ShipX account to access volume-based pricing tailored to your specific shipping patterns. Once your account is active, you integrate it with ShipHero through a straightforward credential configuration process.

How does ShipX's multi-carrier approach work with ShipHero's rate shopping?

ShipX functions as a single carrier option within ShipHero's rate shopping engine, even though it leverages multiple carriers behind the scenes. ShipHero compares ShipX's rates against your other carriers and selects ShipX when it offers the best value for that specific shipment.

Can I use ShipX alongside my existing FedEx, UPS, and USPS accounts?

Absolutely. ShipX integrates into your existing carrier mix within ShipHero. The platform's rate shopping compares ShipX against all your configured carriers for each order, giving you maximum flexibility to optimize across your entire shipping operation.
