You're Overpaying for Every Shipment You Send.
Carrier rates increase 5–6% every year. Surcharges, DIM weight adjustments, and peak-season fees pile on top. Without real-time rate shopping across multiple carriers, you're leaving 10–25% on the table — on every single shipment.

"We Already Have Good Carrier Rates..."
Here's why the smartest brands are switching to AI-powered rate shopping.
🤔"We already have good rates with our carrier."
Even with negotiated rates, no single carrier is cheapest for every shipment. Zone, weight, DIM factor, and service level all affect which carrier wins. FenixCommerce evaluates every option in real time — Bombas achieved 6x ROI and $1.25 savings per parcel on top of their existing negotiated rates.
🤔"We don't have engineering resources for a new integration."
FenixCommerce integrates via REST API or pre-built connectors with Shopify Plus, SFCC, BigCommerce, and all major platforms. Most brands go live in 3–5 business days with minimal development effort.
🤔"Switching carriers might hurt our delivery performance."
FenixCommerce factors in carrier performance data — not just rates. The AI selects the cheapest option that still meets your delivery SLA. You get lower costs without sacrificing delivery speed or reliability.
🤔"How do we know this will actually save money?"
FenixCommerce offers a simulation engine that runs your historical shipment data against multi-carrier rates before you go live. Bombas' actual results exceeded the simulation by 9%. You'll see projected savings before making any changes.
