Ship smarter: lower costs, better deliverability, fewer problems
We have a fully integrated, Kotis-run warehouse and fulfillment solution, built entirely around swag. This allows us to ship smarter than everyone else – saving you money, while ensuring items arrive when your recipients need them. We sweat all the shipping details to make it smooth on your end.
Cost Savings
Very competitive rates
We constantly push carriers on rates and pass the savings on to you. We ship a ton and you get the benefit of that regardless of your volume.
Super-fast fulfillment
Most orders placed by noon ship the same day, reducing the need for costly expediting services.
Proprietary rate shop algorithm
Our platform uses the characteristics of your order to strategically select the most cost-effective carrier and service.
Targeted arrival dates
If you select an arrival date, our system automatically selects the most cost-effective way to arrive on time.
Strategic packaging
Minimize “dim weight” charges and waste by reducing box sizes to what is truly needed.
Address validation
Unintentional typos can cause “address change fees”, delays, and returns. We have multiple layers of checks to reduce these costs.
Freight and LTL
We proactively find shipments that would be more cost effective to ship LTL.
Geographic advantage
Our centrally located warehouses reduce time in transit and therefore costs.
Rapid Response Team
We quickly respond to carrier issues to reduce holding or return fees.
Duties & Taxes
We can recommend items that fall under common de minimis thresholds to reduce these charges.
Deliverability
Tracking
We ship daily, even for international orders, and you’ll have access to tracking info the moment we print out the label.
Rapid Response Team
We have a team of people dedicated exclusively to getting your packages delivered on time. They help with customs issues, address problems, and more.
Customs Automation
All documentation required for exporting is automatically generated and delivered to the carriers electronically. Manually created documentation is subject to human error and creates delays.
Reporting
You have 24x7 visibility into inventory, orders, shipments, and returns. Our goal is to give you immediate access to everything you need.
Accuracy
We have over a 98% accuracy rate which we hit due to our Triple Check process
Super-fast fulfillment
Most orders placed by noon ship the same day. We heavily invest in equipment to allow for shipping high volumes very quickly.
Address validation
People make mistakes, but there’s no reason to let that cause a package to get returned. We want to deliver packages the first time.
Geographic advantage
Our centrally located warehouses mean your packages will arrive faster to the largest number of people. .
International shipping
Is shipping swag to your team internationally expensive and hard? We can reduce the cost, help your team with clearing customs and allow you more money in your budget for swag.

- Several teams of people to help get packages through customs
