uShip teams up with Etsy for delivery of large, bulky items

▤ Summary

Traditional shipping options are typically not cost-or time-efficient for small shop owners who well furniture and other large items on Etsy. They can’t get volume rates, and most freight carriers expect sellers to pack and crate items before pickup. “The emergence of the marketplace economy has opened the doors for retailers micro to macro to sell anything and everything online,” said Kris Lamb, chief executive of uShip. We’re thrilled to be a solution for Etsy’s vast group of shop owners.” Etsy cites research that shows shoppers are 20% more likely to purchase an item if it’s offered with free shipping. His store, TheParsonsNose, rolls shipping into prices or displays a flat, up-front delivery rate on the item’s listing.
