We’re back with another episode of ShipSavvy Release News! This is Episode 3, where we’re covering the latest updates in versions 1.7.9 and 1.8.0.
Here’s what’s new in 1.7.9 & 1.8.0
These two releases introduce new ways to get packages into the ShipSavvy network, improved payment flexibility, smarter brokerage tools, and plenty of performance and UI fixes behind the scenes.
Savvy 🆕 Features 😉
New stuff that we put in place to make things better for you!
📍 Third-Party Drop-Off Points (DOP)
We’ve officially launched our first third-party drop-off points through partner UPS Stores in the Greater Toronto Area.
- Three new drop-off points have been added as Starting Points for shipping
- You can now select these locations during shipment creation and have our service pick them up and route them into the ShipSavvy network
- DOP admins have their own scanning page for receiving packages
This is the first step in building a broader national drop-off network for ShipSavvy.
🚚 SavvyPickup: Carrier-led
- Users now have the ability to request a pickup of their packages from their home to our warehouses using our partner carriers.
- They only need to provide pickup information and package information.
💳 Wallet 2.0
As duties and taxes become part of upfront shipping costs, relying solely on credit cards can be limiting. Wallet 2.0 gives high-volume shippers more control:
- Pre-fund your wallet via e-transfer or wire transfer
- Use Deposits to pay for full orders (shipping, duties, and taxes)
- Use Credits (from overpayments) for service or delivery fees
- Choose your payment method (Deposit or card) at checkout
- View your full wallet transaction history inside the portal
📦 SavvyBroker
With Section 321 no longer available, our new SavvyBroker tool makes customs compliance much easier for Canada-U.S. shipments.
- Automatically applied on U.S.-bound shipments needing an informal entry
- Enter and validate HTS codes directly in the shipment form
- Get system-generated HTS code recommendations
- Add manufacturer info only when required
- See duties and taxes auto-estimated at checkout
