Parcel shipping · pooled rates
Ship for less. The whole network's volume, in your account.
Carriers reward volume with deep discounts — but on your own you never ship enough to earn them. Rumbo pools the volume of every business on the network into one big account, unlocks the discount, and passes it to you. One transparent fee per shipment. No lock-in.
How it works — and how we make money
01
Pool the volume
Every shipment on Rumbo counts toward one large carrier account, moving the whole network up the discount tiers.
02
Pass the discount
You get rates a small shipper could never negotiate alone — Purolator, Nationex, Canada Post, side by side.
03
One transparent fee
Rumbo adds a small fee per shipment, shown on its own line. Carrier rate + our fee, in plain sight — still less than going alone.

Shipping FAQ
How does Rumbo get cheaper shipping rates?
Carriers give steep volume discounts. On your own, a small business ships too little to earn them. Rumbo pools the volume of many businesses into one large account, unlocking deep discounts we pass straight to you — minus a small, transparent fee.
Which carriers can I ship with?
Rumbo aggregates Canadian and international carriers — Purolator, Nationex, Canada Post, FedEx, UPS and GLS — so you compare them side by side and pick the best price or speed for each shipment.
What does Rumbo charge?
A small fee per shipment, shown as its own line next to the carrier rate. You always see exactly what the carrier charges and what Rumbo charges — and the total is still typically less than shipping on your own.
Is there a contract or monthly fee?
No lock-in. You ship when you need to, pay per shipment, and the more the Rumbo network ships, the better everyone's rates get.
