Ecommerce Freight Solutions for Shopify Merchants Selling Big, Bulky & High-Value Products

Freight Right makes selling big things online as easy as selling small things online. One plug-in to price curbside or white-glove delivery, show duties & taxes where needed, and automate everything from Bill of Lading to doorstep for big & bulky fulfillment.

It's Logistically Impossible to Expand Internationally for Large, High-Value Goods Sellers

Cross-border direct-to-consumer (D2C) is not feasible at scale for merchants selling large & high-value goods. Conversely, goods that can be delivered via small parcel enjoy many accessible solutions

As a result, merchants selling large items miss out on growth and profitability potential. Additionally:

  • 50+% merchants do not expand internationally due to complexities around logistics, customs, etc. resulting in lost sales opportunity

  • 30-50% additional cost incurred by brands to work with local distributors

  • 3-5 hours per order of extra time spent to fulfill valuable or bulky product orders

As a result, merchants often:

  • Close their store off to traffic and potential buyers outside their domestic market

  • Use an arbitrarily decided dollar amount for freight delivery, resulting in losses if the true costs of delivery exceed that fixed amount

  • Adopt inconsistent, inefficient practices for handling inconsistent buyer requests

The Complete, End-to-End International Freight Solution for eCommerce

Freight Right is the only all-in-one merchant-centric logistics solution built for big, bulky and high-valuable items.

Two Ways to Use Our Ecommerce Freight Platform

Whether you're looking to expand into a new market or create a better buying experience for domestic market buyers, Freight Right's solution can help.

1. Optimize & Automate Existing Carrier Rates and Arrangements

For merchants selling big & bulky items that have carriers, rates and domestic market fulfillment solutions, keep your current pricing strategy (free or flat shipping). Behind the scenes we:

  • Auto-generate Bill of Lading, book the carrier, dispatch, track and invoice monthly

  • Write back actual ship cost and tracking to the order

  • Include costs at the cart level for the buyer to see at checkout, into the product price or any combination SKU-by-SKU

  • Support Hawii, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Guam and limited-access destinations without manual quotes & more

2. Expand Into New Markets

For merchants looking to expand their business beyond their domestic market without new warehouses, business entities or engaging with major marketplaces like Amazon or Ebay, behind the scenes we:

  • Show real-time duties & taxes and air/LCL choices at checkout stage for buyers

  • Convert origin to consumer orders with accurate landed costs SKU-by-SKU

  • Treat the buyer as importer, or prepay taxes where required

  • Publish lead-time tiers: in-stock, in-transit, made-to-order & more

Solutions for Merchants Selling B2B

For the merchants who sell B2B - we've got you covered, too. OEM websites that sell to distributors are burdened with complex taxes, fees and fulfillment solutions. Whether a supplier or an end-user, the result is a high-friction, low-converting checkout process. Freight Right's Shopify merchant solution automates all the SKU-level pricing challenges and end-to-end fulfillment at-checkout. The result is higher conversion rate and true landed costs.

From Cart to Crate to Customer Without Manual Quotes

Getting your Shopify store started with Freight Right is simple.

  1. Connect your store (Shopify today; custom carts supported).

  2. Map products (variant SKUs, weight, dimensions, multi-box).

  3. Choose your motion: Automate (domestic) or Expand (international).

  4. Go live with curbside/white-glove choices and—where needed—duties & taxes.

  5. We execute the freight: Bill of Lading, carrier booking, customs, delivery, and tracking.

  6. Finance sees the truth: actual ship cost and events written back to the order.

FAQ: Ecommerce Freight Shipping & Oversized Orders

Can I ship oversized or heavy products internationally without using a distributor?

Yes. Our Shopify plugin enables direct-to-consumer international shipping for bulky items like furniture, fitness equipment, and industrial gear—without relying on local distributors or warehousing.

What happens if my social media campaigns attract international interest?

Without international shipping options, those visitors can’t convert. Our Shopify plugin enables real-time freight quoting and customs handling at checkout—so every customer can buy, no matter where they are.

Is shipping bulky items overseas prohibitively expensive?

Not anymore. We consolidate freight shipments and manage logistics end-to-end, which often makes direct shipping more cost-effective than traditional distribution models. Plus, de minimis thresholds can reduce duties in some regions.

How do you handle duties, taxes, and compliance?

We calculate and manage all duties and taxes at checkout, and serve as your fiscal representative in key markets. For most brands, this eliminates the need to file or register locally.

What if my product is manufactured in Asia but I sell to customers in the US or Europe?

Our Shopify plugin enables direct fulfillment from source to customer—bypassing unnecessary costs and regulatory friction. This streamlines delivery and avoids redundant import/export steps that traditional models require.

Why can’t merchants sell goods over $800 direct-to-consumer internationally?

Merchants face restrictions due to customs duties, taxes, and compliance requirements for high-value goods. Exceeding the de minimis value ($800 in many countries) often triggers complex customs clearance processes, making it difficult to sell without specialized logistics solutions.

What are the common challenges with selling large & high-value freight internationally on Shopify?

Merchants often struggle with logistics, tax compliance, and high shipping costs. Additional challenges include managing customs clearance, handling documentation, and ensuring goods arrive safely at their destination without damage or delays.

Why are tax collections and remittance so challenging for merchants selling internationally?

International tax regulations vary widely by country and can change frequently. Merchants must calculate, collect, and remit taxes correctly to avoid fines and penalties. This complexity is compounded when selling high-value goods, which are subject to stricter tax requirements.

What is the difference between selling in a new region versus selling cross-border?

Selling in a new region involves establishing a local presence, including fulfillment centers and local tax registration. Cross-border selling typically requires direct shipping from your origin country, navigating customs and duties for each shipment.

How does Freight Right help direct-to-consumer sellers sell their large & high-value goods in new markets internationally?

Freight Right simplifies every aspect of international selling, from logistics and risk management to tax compliance and documentation. Our solutions integrate with your Shopify store to provide a seamless experience for both you and your customers, helping you expand into new markets with confidence.

Can big, oversized or heavy products ship internationally without a distributor?

Yes. With landed-cost checkout and origin-to-consumer logistics, you can test markets and fulfill directly.

What’s the difference between curbside and white-glove delivery?

Curbside is drop-off at the curb or driveway; white-glove adds placement, light assembly, and debris removal priced at checkout.

How do you calculate duties, taxes, and compliance?

We classify products (HS codes), compute duties/VAT in real time where required, and handle customs. See our International Duties & Taxes Support page.

Do you support HI, Alaska, PR, and Guam?

Yes—these are frequent quick wins for brands before going fully international.

What about made-to-order items and price validity?

Air quotes are typically valid 7–14 days (or price and a buffer); LCL is commonly 30 days. If ship dates slip, we auto-reprice and notify you.

Can we use our carrier accounts?

Yes. Carrier Passthrough (Early Access) lets you use your LTL rates with a configurable handling fee.

What platforms do you support?

Shopify today, with custom/other carts via API or implementation support.

How is insurance handled?

Choose carrier liability or offer all-risk as an add-on at checkout; claims handling and SLAs are documented at onboarding.
