Creativity is the key ingredient that allows 2Ship to deliver rich and rewarding features in a user-friendly online environment. The following are the bread and butter of 2Ship and included in all packages:
COMPARE REAL TIME RATES

Eliminate the man hours spent searching for the best rate and operating multiple systems. 2Ship does it all In seconds regardless of the number of carriers you have.
ONE SHIP SCREEN
A single shipping screen that is simply unmatched.
Everything that ships, with all types of carriers is done using the same shipping screen which dynamically adjusts to the shipment on hand. It is intuitive, user (and mobile) friendly, and you choose between Standard or Advanced modes.
