A Note About Rate Shopping
If a carrier API does not respond at the time your shipment is at the shipping station, said carrier options cannot be included in the rate shop. This may result in the overall least expensive option not being available at ship time due to the issues on the carrier end.
During known outages of the carrier APIs, our operations team will attempt to set aside shipments intended for cross-carrier rate shopping.
