Ordoro announces up to 20% savings in shipping costs for ecommerce merchants

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ordoro, the leading shipping and inventory management platform for ecommerce stores, today launched commercial USPS shipping rates to its customers. "For Ordoro's customers we have negotiated rates that are up to 20% lower than what they get at the local post office. Ordoro rates are one of the best among off-the-shelf web postage shipping solutions out there," said Jagath Narayan, the CEO and co-founder of Ordoro. This announcement comes as a boon for many ecommerce merchants who are preparing their businesses for the holiday season's sales boost.

"When I learned that Ordoro was providing a discounted rate on USPS Priority shipping, I fell in small-business love with this company," says Jenny Hart, the founder of Sublime Stitching Company which ships embroidery supplies across the world using Ordoro. As the holiday season approaches, ecommerce merchants are seeing enormous growth in their order volumes. According to eMarketer, e-commerce spending in the US is expected to increase 15.1% in November and December, compared to the same period last year, and cross $61.8 Billion USD. And 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 operational costs for e-commerce vendors is the shipping cost. As businesses compete by offering free shipping on majority of their orders, 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 and they all offer commercial shipping rates to merchants that meet a certain volume threshold. Through a new partnership, Ordoro has now started offering USPS Commercial Plus rates to its customers.

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 and eBay and on platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce and Magento. 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 $240 million worth of e-commerce orders and has been seeing strong adoption from customers across various e-commerce platforms since launch.
