How can a 3PL or consolidator ship for many sellers from one account?
A 3PL or consolidator ships for many sellers from one account by bringing every client's orders into a single multi-carrier platform and applying the same rate shopping, label and customs rules to all of them. ExperShip is that account: compare rates on each parcel, print labels in batches, add customs documents for cross-border parcels, and connect your own warehouse system through the API.
