This side-by-side comparison strips away confusion, letting you immediately identify which partner offers the best base rate for your shipment's profile.

Gather your item weights, dimensions, and potential freight quotes. Input this data into the spreadsheet, run your simulations, and let it calculate the final landed costs. The clear comparison empowers you to either proceed with the optimal freight choice or even re-evaluate your product selection based on the true total cost.
