Real-time LTL rates at checkout
Automated BOL generation
Order tracking in Shopify
Automatic order fulfillment
Multi-carrier rate comparison
SKU-to-freight dimension mapping
Oversized freight handling
Access to Freight Right’s carrier network
FreightClub also offers strong LTL automation and a pre-vetted carrier network. CartRight adds catalog-level freight mapping for merchants with products that vary significantly in size and shipping requirements.
Both CartRight and FreightClub support White Glove delivery.
FreightClub offers seven service levels ranging from back-of-truck delivery through White Glove with light assembly. It is one of the platform’s strongest capabilities.
CartRight supports services including:
Curbside delivery
Threshold delivery
Room-of-choice delivery
Multi-person handling
Assembly
Debris removal
The key difference is how those services are presented.
CartRight can surface delivery options dynamically for the buyer to select during Shopify checkout. FreightClub offers multiple delivery tiers, but buyer-level storefront selection was not explicitly confirmed in the public product materials reviewed for the battle card.
Freight Right’s White Glove shipping solutions & network also supports inside delivery, multi-person handling, assembly, debris removal and specialized equipment for difficult freight.
Some products do not fit standard residential LTL delivery.
CartRight can support freight exceeding standard 96-inch liftgate limits and route those shipments through specialized delivery solutions.
This is designed for oversized furniture, exercise equipment, saunas, fixtures and other freight that may require additional equipment or handling.
FreightClub has extensive big-and-bulky experience, but comparable support for products beyond standard liftgate limits was not listed in the public materials reviewed for the comparison.
CartRight provides guaranteed freight rates at checkout.
This gives merchants a known transportation cost when the order is placed rather than relying only on a live carrier quote that may change later.
Merchants can use that pricing to manage shipping margins and determine how much freight cost to pass through to the customer.
FreightClub provides real-time carrier quotes but does not publicly list a comparable locked-in rate mechanism in the materials reviewed for the battle card.
CartRight provides real-time freight rates for:
Alaska
Hawaii
Puerto Rico
Guam
These markets can be difficult to support through standard ecommerce shipping configurations.
CartRight allows merchants to calculate the freight cost during checkout instead of requiring a manual quote.
Comparable remote-market rate support was not specifically listed on FreightClub’s reviewed product pages.
International DTC is the largest difference between the two platforms.
CartRight can support big-and-bulky ecommerce shipments to more than 45 countries while Freight Right manages the freight, customs and trade requirements behind the order.
Capabilities include:
Cross-border DTC shipping
Duties and taxes calculated at checkout
Delivered Duty Paid shipping
Importer of Record services
Fiscal representation
Automated customs documentation
In-house customs brokerage
Market-by-market international activation
The battle card identifies FreightClub as a domestic platform, with no comparable international DTC, Importer of Record or customs brokerage offering listed.
CartRight can also support orders shipped directly from an overseas manufacturer to the end customer.
That can reduce unnecessary handling and avoid routing every international order through a U.S. warehouse first.
Freight Right can manage the transportation, customs clearance and final delivery behind the transaction.
Factory-direct international fulfillment is not listed as a FreightClub capability in the reviewed materials.
Both platforms provide freight protection and claims support.
FreightClub offers XCover-powered shipping protection, including LTL coverage up to $100,000 and claims management directly through the platform.
CartRight also supports cargo insurance and in-platform claims management through Freight Right.
For merchants comparing the two, insurance is less of a primary differentiator than international capabilities, guaranteed pricing or oversized freight handling. Both platforms offer meaningful protection for freight shipments.
CartRight may be a better fit if you:
Sell primarily through Shopify
Need guaranteed freight rates
Want customers to select White Glove service during checkout
Ship products beyond standard liftgate limits
Need SKU-level freight dimension mapping
Ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or Guam
Want to sell internationally
Need duties and taxes calculated at checkout
Require Importer of Record or customs brokerage services
Want factory-direct international fulfillment
CartRight combines the Shopify application with the freight infrastructure needed to execute those shipments.
FreightClub is a well-developed domestic freight platform with strong LTL and White Glove capabilities.
CartRight takes a different approach.
It is built by Freight Right, connecting Shopify directly to domestic transportation, specialized delivery, international freight and customs services.
For merchants whose logistics needs extend beyond standard domestic LTL, that provides one system from checkout through final delivery.
Is CartRight an alternative to FreightClub?
Yes. Both platforms support Shopify merchants shipping large and heavy products with real-time LTL rates, BOL generation, tracking, White Glove delivery and multi-carrier rate comparison.
Does FreightClub offer White Glove delivery?
Yes. FreightClub offers several delivery tiers, including room-of-choice and White Glove service with light assembly. CartRight also supports White Glove delivery, including assembly and debris removal.
Does CartRight support parcel shipping?
CartRight is focused primarily on freight. FreightClub supports both parcel and LTL shipping.
Does CartRight support BigCommerce?
CartRight is currently Shopify-focused. FreightClub supports both Shopify and BigCommerce.
Can CartRight handle oversized products?
Yes. CartRight supports freight beyond standard liftgate dimensions and can use specialized transportation solutions for difficult-to-deliver products.
Can CartRight ship internationally?
Yes. CartRight supports cross-border DTC to 45+ countries, along with duties and taxes, Importer of Record services, automated customs documentation and in-house customs brokerage.
Does FreightClub charge a subscription fee?
According to the battle card research, FreightClub does not charge subscription or setup fees. Its revenue is built into carrier rates. CartRight requires the applicable Shopify plan.
Do I need my own freight carrier accounts?
Neither platform requires merchants to establish individual carrier accounts to get started. Both provide access to pre-vetted carrier networks.
One thing I would retain from the battle card here is the more measured competitive posture. FreightClub is materially closer to CartRight than Shipduo in White Glove and big-and-bulky delivery, so the strongest page is not “CartRight does White Glove and FreightClub doesn't.” The stronger distinction is: both solve domestic big-and-bulky freight; CartRight extends that model into more complex oversized freight and international ecommerce. That framing is better supported by the feature comparison and will read as more credible to someone actively comparing the two.
