Shipments
analyzed
A direct-to-consumer Alaskan seafood brand was unknowingly selecting Priority Overnight on shipments that qualified for Standard Overnight — a $22.63 difference per label across thousands of orders per year.
After analyzing 13,071 FedEx shipments, we identified the cost gap, built ShipStation automation rules to enforce correct service selection, and projected $244,000 in annual savings. The fix was live within days.
A separate analysis of their declared value fees identified additional potentially unnecessary charges currently under review — bringing total identified savings even higher.

About
ShipOpsCo is a shipping operations consultancy with direct, hands-on experience running Shopify, ShipStation, and FedEx fulfillment for perishable DTC brands. The $244K savings case study wasn't a theoretical exercise — it was a real engagement where we found the problem, built the fix, and had it live within days.
We started ShipOpsCo because most perishable DTC brands don't have a logistics expert on staff — and most shipping consultants don't understand cold chain fulfillment. That's the gap we fill.
If you're shipping perishables direct to consumer and your carrier costs feel out of control, reach out. The diagnostic pays for itself.
