Choosing ShipNex as the Lowest Cost Shipping Provider

Notes

  1. ShipNex can offer the most cost effective solutions to your shipping needs, because of the wholesale rates available and contracts they hold with FedEx & UPS.
  2. ShipNex uses FedEx for Express Shipments & UPS for any Ground Shipments.
  3. When I compared prices to ship a set of wheels & tires (18 x 8.5 w/ 235/35/18 tyres ~210lbs) I was quoted $416 via UPS, $376 via USPS, $308 via FedEx, and $206 via ShipNex to ship from the West Coast to the East Coast.
