Q What is the Silverthorne Shipping Saver?
A The Silverthorne Shipping Saver is multi-carrier shipping software designed to dramatically reduce your shipping costs and streamline your order fulfillment and shipping workflow. Instantly rate shop
between carriers.
The software automates the printing of invoices, receipts, international forms,
shipping labels and is eBay compatible. The software maintains information about your customers, products, orders,
and any packages or express letters you ship. Take advantage of powerful search features.
Reports can be printed detailing your monthly sales, sales tax collected, shippping costs, etc.
Q How much can be saved on a shipment?
A Depending on the destination of the package, the amount of savings and the least expensive
carrier can change from shipment to shipment. That is why it is critical to have our rate shopper so that you can see a rate comparison between
carriers for every shipment before choosing the carrier to ship with. An example of savings, is shipping a 10 lb. package from Rochester, NY to
Philadelphia, PA, with a residential address, which comes up $2.76 cheaper with FedEx Home Delivery compared to USPS Parcel Post when rated on 4/15/2009.
That's a $2.76 savings on a simple 10 lb. package. You may have thought that the USPS is always the cheapest carrier. This is not at all true.
The cheapest carrier can change depending on the weight, size, and destination of the package or letter. The shipping saver can in many cases save you
dollars per shipment. We can also customize the shipping saver with additional carriers to increase savings through our rate comparison tool.
Q I have negotiated rates with my carrier. Can the Shipping Saver save me money?
A Yes! The Silverthorne Shipping Saver works
with your negotiated carrier rates. Now you can compare
your negotiated rates from one carrier versus your negotiated rates from another carrier! As William Shatner puts it, "Now you're negotiating!".
Q I don't ship products, just lots of express
letters, is the shipping saver good for me?
A Yes, the Silverthorne Shipping Saver has many
features, but it's main goal is to help you streamline your shipping process and
reduce shipping costs. The shipping
saver is very easy to use and can just be used to ship packages and express letters.
While the Shipping Saver can monitor product inventories, print receipts, etc.,
you can keep it simple and use it just to print shipping labels, track packages,
schedule pickups, etc.

- Endicia (ES2500U)
- Mettler Toledo
