If your small company ships packages regularly - for example, if you sell items on eBay, Amazon or similar websites - then shipping is probably one of your biggest expenses.  It can be pretty stressful and time-consuming to find the best shipping rate.  Comparing rates from different shipping companies takes time - and we all know how little free time small business owners have!  Havent't you ever just wanted a quick and easy way to compare shipping rates from all the major shippers?

Then you should try Shipping Sidekick.  Shipping Sidekick is an online shipping rate comparison service that lets you compare package delivery times and shipping rates from UPS, DHL, FedEx and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).  Knowing the lowest rate will help you save money on shipping charges.  (Similar online services include ShippingandTracking.com, iShip and RedRoller - but I couldn't find any service offering shipping rate comparisons for a lower rate or at a faster speed.)

Shipping Sidekick is a great option for small business owners, eBay sellers and others who want to ship packages at the lowest rates without having to search through several shipping company websites for that information.

What does Shipping Sidekick cost?  Shipping Sidekick is free for two weeks.  After the free 14-day trial, it costs $14.95 per month, which you can pay online via a secure credit card transaction.

How does Shipping Sidekick work?  It's easy.  You just create an account at ShippingSidekick.com and then enter some information about the package you want to send.  You'll see a chart like this:

Each company's shipping costs are shown for overnight, priority/rush, and basic ground shipping.  You can click on each shipping rate to view lots of details about it.

For many customers, Shipping Sidekick pays for itself within a few shipments - you'll never be left wondering if you could have gotten a lower rate!  Plus, you'll save time because you won't have to check any other site to find the lowest rate for your shipment.

For more information about Shipping Sidekick, read the Shipping Sidekick launch announcement and learn about its Affiliate Program that pays you for referring new Shipping Sidekick customers.

A couple of comments:

1) RedRoller includes four carriers right now; not two; the two other carriers are Eastern Connection and Overnite Express.

2) RedRoller is FREE! Shipping Sidekick charges $14.95 a month to just provide rates.

3) RedRoller lets you print a shipping label, keep your history in one place, track your packages, and use one address book.

4) RedRoller offers discounted rates; Shipping Sidekick takes you to the carrier site where you could pay 30-50% more than RedRoller rates.

5) RedRoller offers services, like DHL@home, not even available on the DHL site. These rates for shipping to residences offer a huge value to eBay shippers.

Same comment pasted in here as on BizCradle.com. Hmm.

But RedRoller doesn't give you UPS quotes, right? Shipping Sidekick does. Just a question for comparison.

This is quite a new website, but I feel could be very great soon :
Compare Shipping rates.
But for ebay and european customers that's great !
This is free !
Follow RSS feed for new destinations & new shippers.

Must have pissed off the Red Roller sales guys.....they posted that a few places. They could have made it a little less obvious:)

Just FYI: it looks to me like Shipping Sidekick is completely free now! Check it out!

I went to check redroller and it didnt have the prices for UPS or Fedex, so I looked into http://www.shippingsidekick.com and it had all four major shipping companies so it was easier to compare shipping rates.
