The Nation's First and Only Free Web-Based, On-Demand Shipping Solution Can Save 25 to 50 Percent on Annual Shipping Costs
NORWALK, Conn., 06/21/2006 -- RedRoller, Inc. announced today the launch of its free Web-based, on-demand shipping solution, the nation's first and only one of its kind. The service saves small businesses and consumers time and money for sending packages anywhere in the country by comparing the price and delivery options of top carriers. RedRoller.com provides side-by-side comparisons of major national and regional carriers, enabling users to make the choices that are best for them. The service is free to the more than 7.9 million small businesses in the U.S. RedRoller shipping carriers will initially include the U.S. Postal Service, DHL, FedEx, Eastern Connection and Overnite Express.
RedRoller.com presents the best choices based on delivery time and price. For the first time on the Web, it enables a true "apples-to-apples" comparison of shipping carriers by providing service visibility and price for small business customers. The completely free service has no upfront costs or monthly fees and provides the following:
- Results sorted by price and delivery time
- Consolidated reporting and tracking
- Aggregated maps to show nearest drop-off locations
and hours of operation
- Scheduled pick-ups
- Address verification
- Imported information from customer address books
- Customer preferences saved to speed repeat shipments
- Shipping labels printed using thermal printers
or standard printers with plain paper
- A fully eBay-integrated system
- Email notification
To use RedRoller.com, customers simply enter their shipping details and within seconds are quoted delivery times and prices from major national and regional carriers, allowing them to sort results by carrier, price and timing. After selecting their preferred service, users print out the necessary shipping labels on their own printer and they can then bring their shipments to the most convenient drop-off location or arrange for pick-up.
"We level the playing field for small businesses that depend on shipping," said William Van Wyck, founder and CEO of RedRoller, Inc.
"RedRoller offers small businesses and online retailers such as eBay Power Sellers an easier and faster way to compare shipping services, saving them time and money as result," said Van Wyck. "The old way of shipping involves unnecessary expense and time to compare all the available options for the best deal and quickest turnaround time - therefore, the little guy gets squeezed. RedRoller.com, similar to the travel sites that consumers have come to know and love, gives users the control and broader selection that allows them to easily find the service that fits their budget and timeframe."
