Savvy 🆕 Features 😉
New stuff that we put in place to make things better for you!
📦 Enhanced Carrier Visibility
You asked for better clarity and more choice. With our new Enhanced Carrier Visibility, you can now:
- View and compare rates across all 7 of our carrier partners
- Filter rates by carrier, service level, and region even for U.S. shipments
- Understand how shipments are routed, including split drop-offs and handoffs
- Choose the best carrier based on current needs, preferences, or limitations
🧾 Bulk Label Actions
No more tedious one-by-one processing.
- Download multiple shipping labels at once - ideal for teams who separate printing from fulfillment
- Bulk delete unused labels if orders are canceled or need to be reprocessed
Smoother Data Handling
We’ve added behind-the-scenes logic to catch and correct data issues that used to cause delays, including:
- Invalid characters in address fields
- Incomplete or over-length values
- Mismatched formats per carrier requirements
This means fewer errors, cleaner cross-border shipments, and faster processing overall.
Shipping Insurance
You can now add affordable third-party insurance directly from within the ShipSavvy portal.
- Lower rates than traditional carrier insurance
- Toggle insurance on at checkout, declare value
- We handle claims, support, and processing directly
