Introducing Shippo Estimate: AI-powered delivery predictions to help you ship smarter this peak season

Peak season is here, and the pressure is on. More orders. Tight margins. Customers who expect their packages on time.

Here's the challenge: choosing the right shipping option shouldn't feel like a gamble. Pay for expedited shipping "just to be safe," and you're burning profit on speed you didn't need. Go economy to save costs, and you risk a late delivery that costs you repeat customers.

What if you could see a data-driven prediction of when each shipping option would arrive before you buy the label?

Meet Shippo Estimate: clear, AI-powered estimated delivery dates for more confident shipping

Today, we're excited to introduce Shippo Estimate: a new feature that shows you clear, expected delivery dates before you buy a label, so you can confidently balance speed and cost. Powered by AI that analyzes millions of actual deliveries, Shippo Estimate gives you expected delivery dates right in your rate shopping experience. No more guessing or crossing your fingers, just clarity when you need it most.

How Shippo Estimate helps you ship smarter

Deliver with confidence

Powered by AI, Shippo Estimate analyzes millions of actual deliveries to show when packages really arrive (not just the carrier's service level promise), so you can choose the optimal shipping option, set accurate expectations with customers, and reduce "where's my order?" inquiries.

Avoid overspending

Stop paying for expedited shipping when you don't need to. Shippo Estimate shows you when a lower-cost service level is likely to still get your package there on time, helping you protect your margins during the most expensive time of year.

Decide in seconds

No more mental math or decoding what "4 days" actually means. See expected delivery dates for shipping options side-by-side and choose the one that suits your needs. Make hundreds of smart shipping decisions without slowing down your fulfillment workflow.

Perfect timing for peak season

With order volumes at their highest and customer expectations even higher, every shipping decision matters. Shippo Estimate gives you the intelligence you need to navigate peak season successfully—choosing the right balance of speed and cost for every order.
