FeeGuard Suggestions
FeeGuard: Your logistics bodyguard.
FeeGuard is a technological validation layer designed for shippers who want to eliminate surprises on their transportation invoices.
Instead of absorbing fees after shipping, FeeGuard analyzes your parcels before you create the label.
It turns parcel shipping from a costly intuition into a data-driven operational decision.
Enter dimensions and weight. FeeGuard instantly applies the complex pricing rules of Purolator, GLS, FedEx and UPS.
It identifies residential fees, special handling, non-conveyable parcels, liquids and dangerous goods before shipment.
FeeGuard compares real total cost, not just the base rate. The cheapest carrier for a small parcel is rarely the best for a bulky shipment.
Each shipment gets a score. A low score triggers a warning and may suggest switching from parcel to LTL to save money.
Shipping tips that protect margins.
Watch dimensional weight first
A light but bulky parcel can be billed at dimensional weight long before it looks expensive on paper.
Loose multi-piece shipments add up fast
Five boxes or more can trigger multi-piece fees or manual handling. Sometimes a pallet is the cheaper move.
A few extra inches can break the economics
Once a parcel crosses oversize thresholds, the cheapest network often stops being the best one.
Residential stacks with other fees
Residential destinations often combine with signature, heavy-piece and handling charges, pushing total cost much higher.
Choose your plan.
