General guidance — actual best choice depends on weight, destination, and service tier.

How we decide

The five questions we ask every shipment

1. How fast?

Overnight, two-day, or no-rush? Speed changes the carrier list immediately.

2. How heavy and how big?

Carriers price differently above certain thresholds. We hit the sweet spot.

3. How fragile or valuable?

Insurance, packaging, and handling vary — we'll match it to the carrier.

4. Where's it going?

Residential, commercial, rural, international — destination changes the math.

5. What's your budget?

The fastest option isn't always necessary. We help you balance cost and service.

Then we recommend

A clear, single best choice — with a backup if you want to compare price tiers.
