I shipped for the first time for my bakerycatering business using ShipSimple. I shipped my product to my customer and shipped from my supplier to me. It was very easy to use and convenient – it actually cost me less to ship than it would have to deliverpickup. I think all small businesses should give it a try!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST courier service I have ever used for my business. Their prices cannot be beat and if there is any issues they are extremely quick with customer service to resolve your problems. I would recommend ShipSimple/CourierGateway to anyone who needs courier services!

ShipSimple/CourierGateway is fantastic. The pricing is much better than what we were getting on our own and we now have access to other courier companies that we couldn’t use previously. The customer service is quick and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this company!!

Easy to use and you have a choice of couriers, but the shipping prices are less than going direct AND if that wasn’t enough, their customer service is top drawer! Fast to answer and has always answered my query- quick and painless! I love this company, so glad I found them!!
Marie R.

I really appreciate having a “one-stop shop” for courier shipping… You instantly get access to the most competitive quotes across numerous companies. Arranging pickups from commercial or residential locations is very straightforward… Bottom line: I am very happy that I found ShipSimple/CourierGateway!
