What it really isA web-based multi-carrier shipping app from Descartes that imports orders, compares rates and prints labels.

Our takeShipRush is one of the cheaper ways to get multi-carrier shipping with no volume cap.

The $9.95 Express plan covers rate shopping, discounted rates and 90+ channel connections, and support by phone is listed from day one. Costs climb if you need more than three users, your own carrier contracts or LTL freight, so price out those extras before committing.

Why we rate itUnlimited shipments at a low flat price with a long integration list.

The catchOwn carrier rates start on Speedy, users come in paid 3-packs, and LTL adds monthly fees.
