I don't know a service that offers multiple courier services and allows multiple accounts... If you want you can integrate the API of one courier service, such as UPS, and offer access with multiple accounts. Or you can use Easypost an

Hi dsugarman, in the long term we want to be able to connect the local courier service seamlessly the way you described it. This would offer really competitive prices but as you mentioned it is a quite difficult task. That's why we&#x2

Hi hoopism, thanks for letting me know. We are also able to show domestic shipments (the rates are not the best). The problem is because our server can't handle the massive traffic from HN. I apologise for the inconvenience, I'm r
