What is a shipping service?

A shipping service refers to the transportation solution provided by a carrier or logistics provider to deliver goods from the seller to the recipient. It includes pickup, transit, tracking, and delivery.

Shipping services in eCommerce

In eCommerce, reliable shipping services are crucial for fast deliveries and customer satisfaction. Services vary by speed (e.g. standard vs. express), destination (domestic vs. international), and carrier (DHL, UPS, etc.). With everstox, brands can access multi-carrier shipping services across Europe, the UK, and the US – fully integrated into fulfillment processes with real-time tracking, label automation, and cost optimization.

Example for a shipping service

A D2C brand uses everstox to ship via multiple carriers. Each order is matched with the optimal shipping service based on weight, location, and delivery time.
