Sendle Carbon Neutral Delivery Service Now Available on the Descartes ShipRush™ Shipping Platform

Sendle has worked with Descartes to enable thousands of smaller online merchants in the United States to access low cost, 100% carbon-neutral delivery services. 

SEATTLE, May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Small businesses are especially impacted by the significant increase in shipping charges and capacity limitations in the market. In addition, consumers are demanding that retailers are doing their utmost to minimize the impact of shipping on the environment. Sendle and Descartes are working together to give small businesses access to cost-effective ecommerce shipping solutions and the sustainable delivery services they need to compete with competitors of any size.

Descartes ShipRush is a leading cloud-based, multi-carrier parcel shipping platform that helps small and medium ecommerce businesses (SMB) and omnichannel retailers automate, optimize and scale how they ship to customers. Users can get set up within minutes and manage shipping across all their sales channels in one place while benefiting from the best shipping rates and options across carriers.

Sendle is the first 100% carbon neutral delivery service on the Descartes ShipRush platform, giving increasingly eco-conscious small businesses access to sustainable shipping.

Designed to serve the needs of small businesses, Sendle levels the playfield for sellers by offering simple, reliable and affordable, flat-rate shipping across the US, with no hidden fees, subscriptions or warehousing required.
