AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ordoro, the leading shipping and inventory management platform, recently launched its new Ordoro-rates, that save up to 70% on USPS eCommerce packages for its customers. "We are committed to the success of small businesses. With these new rates, our customers get access to shipping rate that big retailers like Amazon get," said Jagath Narayan, the CEO and co-founder of Ordoro. These new shipping rates come just in time for the holidays as online retailers approach their heaviest shipping season.

"It is exciting to see more shipping savings from Ordoro. We love how Ordoro keeps delivering great value for small businesses like mine," says Justin Joy of MopedDivision.com which does shipping and inventory management using Ordoro. Historically, the fourth quarter has always brought high order volumes for eCommerce merchants. Forrester projects that the online retail will generate $89 billion this holiday season — a 13% growth over the same time period in 2013. This represents 30% of all the eCommerce spend in 2014*. This growth is shared not just by large retailers, but also by thousands of small businesses that are selling through online channels.

One of the biggest operating costs for eCommerce merchants is shipping. As businesses increasingly offer free shipping to shoppers, any savings in shipping costs go directly to the bottom line of the business. The three major shippers - USPS, UPS and FedEx - compete to win the shipping business of eCommerce merchants. Larger merchants that meet a certain volume threshold, get access to negotiated rates from these shippers. Through a new partnership, Ordoro now offers its negotiated rates that include USPS Commercial Plus rates, Cubic rates and more to all its customers regardless of what volumes they do.

Ordoro is a fast growing startup that solves the unsexy but essential problem of shipping packages in the eCommerce world. Founded in 2010, Ordoro targets businesses that sell on marketplaces like Amazon, eBay and Etsy and on platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento and WooCommerce. Through their partnership with USPS, UPS and FedEx, Ordoro brings seamless, cost-effective shipping to eCommerce merchants. Ordoro also keeps track of inventory across the merchant's sales channels, and helps the merchant manage relationship with their suppliers for replenishment and dropshipping. Ordoro has processed more than $300 million worth of eCommerce orders and has been seeing strong adoption from customers across various eCommerce platforms since launch.
