Rate Shopper Rules

Rate shopper rules narrow the list of carrier options before a final service is selected.

Typical rule goals

• Prefer the lowest cost that still meets SLA
• Exclude unsupported services
• Route oversized or hazardous parcels correctly
• Apply account-specific priorities

Setup checklist

• Confirm accurate package dimensions
• Review carrier service mappings
• Test residential and commercial scenarios
• Check channel promises against the rule outcome

Ongoing review

• Audit expensive shipments
• Watch for services that disappear unexpectedly
• Update rules when carrier contracts change
