Product Descriptions

All ConnectShip products use Progistics^™, the patented technology that holds the business rules for the carriers we support. This means that when you request a shipment or a shipping rate for a package, Progistics^™ checks to make sure that the origin and destination are supported by the carrier, the service is valid for the package's weight, and many other rules that the carriers require.
