Key Takeaways

Alternatives to ShipDuo & Shopify LTL Shipping Software

Shipduo combines parcel and freight shipping across multiple ecommerce platforms. CartRight is built specifically for Shopify merchants selling large, heavy, high-value and oversized products that require LTL, White Glove or specialized freight services.

LTL Shipping for Big & Bulky Products

CartRight provides real-time LTL rates at checkout for products that are too large, heavy or fragile for standard parcel shipping.

Merchants can connect individual SKUs and variants to their actual dimensions, weight and freight requirements so customers receive the correct shipping option at checkout.

CartRight LTL capabilities include:

  • Real-time freight rates at checkout

  • Multi-carrier rate comparison

  • Automated BOL generation

  • Shipment tracking inside Shopify

  • SKU and catalog-to-freight dimension mapping

  • Oversized freight handling

  • Access to Freight Right’s carrier network

CartRight is also designed for products beyond standard liftgate dimensions, including oversized SKUs that may require specialty equipment or handling.

White Glove Delivery at Checkout

CartRight allows Shopify merchants to offer different delivery service levels directly to the customer.

Options can include:

  • Curbside delivery

  • Threshold and inside delivery

  • Room-of-choice delivery

  • Multi-person handling

  • Light assembly

  • Debris removal

Freight Right already provides these White Glove services through its domestic transportation network, including inside delivery, multi-person freight handling, assembly and debris removal.

Shipduo’s public product materials reviewed for the comparison do not list comparable tiered White Glove checkout options.

Guaranteed Freight Rates

Freight estimates can create problems after checkout if the actual transportation cost changes.

CartRight provides guaranteed freight rates so merchants know the transportation cost when the customer places the order.

Merchants can also control how freight pricing is presented by passing through the full cost, subsidizing shipping or adding markup.

This gives sellers more control over shipping margins while reducing unexpected freight adjustments after the sale.

Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Guam

CartRight provides real-time rates for remote U.S. markets that can be difficult to support with standard ecommerce shipping tools.

Merchants can offer freight delivery to:

  • Alaska

  • Hawaii

  • Puerto Rico

  • Guam

Instead of requiring customers to request a manual shipping quote, CartRight can calculate the freight rate as part of checkout.

International Shipping for Big & Bulky Products

CartRight also supports international DTC shipping for merchants selling large and heavy products.

Freight Right can manage the freight, customs and trade requirements behind an international Shopify order, including:

  • Cross-border DTC shipping to 45+ countries

  • Duties and taxes calculated at checkout

  • Delivered Duty Paid shipping

  • Importer of Record services

  • Fiscal representation

  • Customs documentation

  • In-house customs brokerage

  • Factory-direct fulfillment

These capabilities extend CartRight beyond freight rate shopping and into international ecommerce operations.

Factory-Direct International Fulfillment

Products manufactured overseas do not always need to move through a U.S. warehouse before reaching the customer.

CartRight can support factory-direct fulfillment from the country of origin to the final customer.

For qualifying shipments, Freight Right can manage transportation, customs clearance and final delivery without requiring merchants to establish their own freight infrastructure in each market.

When CartRight May Be a Better Fit

CartRight is designed for Shopify merchants with more specialized freight requirements.

It may be a better fit if you:

  • Sell large, heavy or oversized products

  • Need LTL rates directly at checkout

  • Offer White Glove or inside delivery

  • Require assembly or debris removal

  • Ship products beyond standard liftgate dimensions

  • Need guaranteed freight rates

  • Sell into Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or Guam

  • Want to expand internationally

  • Need customs brokerage or Importer of Record support

CartRight combines the Shopify application with the freight services required to execute those shipments.

Freight Technology Backed by a Freight Forwarder

CartRight is built by Freight Right, a licensed freight forwarder with domestic, international, customs and specialized delivery capabilities.

That means the same company providing the checkout technology can also manage the shipment behind it.

For merchants selling large and difficult-to-ship products, this creates one process from checkout through final delivery.
