Providers & Service

The PackageX platform supports fetching shipping rates from standard shipping providers and private rates that you set only for yourself.

# Providers

Public providers are the ones that can be toggled on and off on your dashboard. All rates returned from these providers will be of type: delivery. Below is the current public list:

# Special Cases

There are two reserved IDs that also act as providers.

# self

You yourself can be a shipping provider in a few ways:

1. You are an approved shipping provider on the PackageX marketplace.
2. You have set up delivery rates via the API or the Deliver App.
3. You have set up pickup rates in the Inventory App.

The self keyword only targets your private rates as it relates to filtering shipping rates after creating a shipment or fulfillment.

# marketplace

There are hundreds of thousands of independent operated shipping provers across the US and even more internationally. The PackageX shipment API gives access to these providers using the ID marketplace.

# Names & IDs

# Service Levels

Every provider with which we work can return multiple rates for a shipment, as long as each rate has a unique service level. When creating a shipment or a fulfillment, you can indicate how you would like these service levels to be pre-filtered.

Because each shipping provider has their own set of service levels, we have created a standard set of service levels that can be used to filter across all providers.

Below is a list of service levels supported by PackageX:

# Self

When targeting self there can be any number or rates returned depending on how many private delivery and pickup rates you have set up.

# Marketplace

When targeting marketplace there can be any number or rates returned depending on how many providers are available in your area.

You can limit and filter the providers returned by setting up your own marketplace preferences in the dashboard.
