Follow on Google News | Innovative Shipping Technology Will Change the Way We ShipSANTA BARBARA STARTUP LAUNCHING AT TECHCRUNCH DISRUPT NEW YORK
By: ShipHawk ShipHawk is a complete shipping platform that provides packing, shipping, insurance, and residential or commercial pickup services for shipments of any size. “You can overnight a letter, or ship an earthmover, in less than 3 minutes from the comfort of your living room,” says Bodenhamer, who serves as the Company’s CEO. ShipHawk’s mission is to make shipping easy, for everyone. Users start by selecting the item(s) they want to ship from the ShipHawk database. The application then converts the item(s) into packed weights and dimensions. “Shipping carriers like FedEx and UPS can only provide quotes for items that are packed,” says Bodenhamer. But that is not ShipHawk’s only unique feature. ShipHawk allows any party to control the shipping transaction. A customer in California can schedule pickup, packing, and shipping for an item in New York. This is a needed service for online auction and classified listings like eBay and Craigslist. ShipHawk is able to provide these services by connecting shipping carriers, packing professionals, and insurance companies to the shippers who need their services. Thanks to ShipHawk, users no longer have to be shipping experts to process complex shipments. The Company will begin Beta testing the application in select California cities starting May 1st and plans to offer nationwide service by the end of the year. END End
