• Mix and Match rates from different carriers
  • Be sure to Compare closely.  Shopping cart providers who have not created their own independent shipping services and who have signed-up with certain shipping carriers as a partner, for example, are contractually prohibited from showing shipping rates from multiple carriers.  On the other hand, you are in the business of giving your customers as many options as you wish to support. 
  • We are a USPS partner (because they have no such restriction) but maintain some of our own independent rate information and we are not affiliated with any of the major carriers.
• Fixed Price Mark-up (Handling)
  • Apply a fixed mark-up amount to all shipping amounts, to cover handling (for instance), to carrier amounts before displaying the rates to customers.
  • Be sure to Compare closely.  Shopping cart providers who have not created their own independent shipping services and who have signed-up with certain shipping carriers as a partner, for example, are contractually prohibited from modifying the shipping rates displayed to customers.  On the other hand, recouping you packaging and handling expenses is important to the financial health of your business. 
• Non-Linear Price Mark-up (Surcharges)
  • Apply a non-linear percentage mark-up amount to all shipping amounts, to cover increasing handling charges (for instance), to carrier amounts before displaying the rates to customers.
  • This is useful where you want a small markup for small shipping amounts and a much larger shipping charge on big shipping amounts.
  • Be sure to Compare closely.  Shopping cart providers who have not created their own independent shipping services and who have signed-up with certain shipping carriers as a partner, for example, are contractually prohibited from modifying the shipping rates displayed to customers.  On the other hand, recouping you packaging and handling expenses is important to the financially health of your business. 
• Provide International rates from the US to other countries for USPS, Federal Express, and the United Parcel Service
• Toggle off some particular carrier services.  For instance, turn off Ground, but allow Next Day.
  • Be sure to Compare closely.  Shopping cart providers who have not created their own independent shipping services and who have signed-up with certain shipping carriers as a partner, for example, are contractually prohibited from displaying only some of the shipping rates to customers.  On the other hand, giving your customers a complete choice may be an option you wish to provide.

ComCity and SalesCart partner only with the United States Postal Service (USPS)!  We are NOT partners, nor are we affiliated with any other shipping carrier service.  Our rate information is independent of any rate system of any of these major carriers except for the USPS.  The reason we are not partners is because these shipping carriers require contractual licensing requirements that would dramatically limit what you, our merchant and customer, would be able to do.  For example, to name just a few, you would not be able to list multiple shipping rates from different carriers on the same page for comparison and competitive purposes, and you would not be able to modify the rates to recoup handling costs.  A majority of our customers have expressed a desire to do just that...completely contradictory to the shipping carriers demands.
