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.

  • We have various shipping services depending on your priorities
  • Several teams of people to help get packages through customs
  • We work directly with carriers & end users to make sure items arrive
  • Can recommend cost thresholds to remain under duty exemptions
  • Very cost competitive
  • Constantly improving our platform for the changing shipping landscape
