Key Points
Ever stay up late at night thinking all things shipping?
Me either.
But on the other hand, I have spent many seconds, minutes and hours wondering where in the world something I shipped is. I’ve also wondered why it cost me $40 to ship something worth $15, and why that ‘overnight’ delivery service arrives at my door three days later without explanation or apology. I have wondered a lot about shipping when something is in transit and I am the sender or the anxiously awaiting receiver.
Regardless if you are someone who has just shipped their nephew a birthday present, or a small company trying to save money in hopes of adding one more person to the payroll next year, Secureship is here to make your life a little easier. Not only can we help save you time and money by calculating the cheapest shipping rates for you, but also after seven years in business we are now launching this blog so you have somewhere to go for answers to those typical questions:

Should I wrap that box in overwrap (shipping paper) before sending?
What will courier insurance actually cover?
Is there a way to reduce border delays so my business can be better streamlined?
