Save on Shipping Costs with RedRoller

When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight... it's gonna cost you. But maybe it'll cost you a little less if you use RedRoller: The service makes it a snap to compare shipping rates from various carriers. Just plug in a few details about the item you want to ship (type, weight, etc.) and it churns out a list of prices and delivery options.

Once you've found the best deal, you don't have to leave RedRoller for the shipper's site; you can generate a shipping label directly, plus track packages and view shipping reports. The service even offers integration with eBay, Outlook, QuickBooks, and the like. You can use RedRoller (currently in beta) free of charge.

Now for the catch: RedRoller can hook you up with DHL, Eastern Connection, Overnite Express, and USPS, but not UPS or Fedex. Not sure why, but without those two heavyweights, the service may not appeal to everyone. [makeuseof via Download Squad]
