Carrier management without the phone tree
We take carrier management off your desk: cost-effective shipping, coordinated routing, and one logistics team as your single point of contact for every carrier.
You set the shipping rules; we route to them
Lowest-cost, next-day, international: your business rules decide how orders move. Our rate shopping works within them to find the best-priced carrier for each package. You can see the service and the rate on every order in your Partner Portal.
Relying on one carrier is a risk you don't have to take. We wrote about why in the UPS near-strike and the case for multiple carrier options.

What we handle so you don't have to
-
Carrier strategy and compliance
Shipping strategies built for your orders that stay compliant with carrier requirements.
- Competitive shipping rates: carrier relationships turned into cost-effective shipping.
- Optional package protection: available on request, invoiced per your Sales Order.
-
Carrier liaison & rate negotiation
Our logistics team is your direct point of contact for carrier management. One intermediary between you and every shipping provider, negotiating cost savings on your behalf. One number to call.
-
Proper labeling & transport coordination
Every shipment meets carrier regulations for a smooth delivery process.
- Labeling to spec: orders labeled to carrier requirements, including hazmat notifications.
- Efficient transport coordination: packages routed for timely processing, and daily pickups and drop-offs shave transit time.
- Documentation support: Bills of Lading and Shipping Manifests for third-party transfers.
-
Order consolidation & splitting
We optimize shipments to reduce costs while maintaining delivery speed. Whenever possible, multiple orders are combined into a single shipment to minimize expenses. That's our standard practice, though not guaranteed. And when it benefits you, we split large orders into smaller shipments to cut size- and weight-related costs. Why does package size decide what you pay? See our guide to understanding dim weight.
-
Billing & cost management
We simplify shipping cost management by handling billing and reconciliation.
- Direct Partner billing: Argo invoices shipping costs directly and manages balances.
- Chargebacks management: accessorial charges and adjustments handled by our team, with your charges itemized in your Partner Portal.
-
International shipping coordination
We handle the paperwork and duties side of international shipping while reducing costs and keeping you compliant.
- Tax & fee optimization: international fees and duties managed efficiently with carriers.
- Checkout optimization: collect and remit duties and taxes at checkout, in your own sales channels.
- Post-shipment billing: duties invoiced to Argo on your behalf appear on your invoice, itemized.
