ShipStation integrates with SEKO Logistics’ LTL home delivery solution

SEKO Logistics has joined ShipStation’s partner network as its first-ever less than truck load (LTL) solution partner, offering a US-wide last mile and white glove option for the delivery of big and bulky e-commerce orders.

ShipStation says the service will allow merchants to leverage a shared truck to ship products that are too large or too heavy to ship via parcel services.

Existing ShipStation users in the US can now select the SEKO LTL Home Delivery Solution when shipping a package and manage payments through the ShipStation Wallet.

Users can choose one of four delivery services: standard, which includes outside delivery to the threshold; threshold service, which includes inside delivery over the threshold; room of choice, which includes inside delivery to the location of choice; and white glove, which includes inside delivery to a preferred location as well as unpacking and debris removal. All service standards also include an appointed delivery window.

Krish Iyer, Head of Industry Relations and Strategic Partnerships, ShipStation, commented: “Recent ShipStation data shows that 77% of surveyed consumers are shopping online more as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because of this, merchants need more ways to get their products to customers – safely and efficiently. The combined power of ShipStation and SEKO LTL allows us to put more control in the hands of our users, providing essential capabilities to ship large or heavy products that don’t require a full truckload, all within their existing ShipStation dashboard.”

Brian Bourke, Chief Growth Officer, SEKO Logistics, added: “The delivery of oversized parcels is a benchmark for SEKO’s LTL Home Delivery solution – competing on price, but never on quality of service. We’re excited to bring our LTL capabilities exclusively to the ShipStation platform to meet the increasing demand for merchants to be able to ship large items.”
