Multi-carrier shipping, pincode-aware per-order allocation, and a predictable weekly COD remittance cycle — for merchants who ship anywhere from 1 to 10,000 orders a day.
Pricing matters, but in Indian COD ecommerce 20–40% RTO can wipe out any saving on freight. ShipyBox optimises the metrics that actually move your P&L — RTO incidence, weight disputes, NDR conversion and COD remittance speed.
ShipyBox is operated by Reliable International. Your shipments are handled by partners with an on-ground presence — not just by software.
Every AI decision shows its reasoning. Your founder, your CFO and your ops manager all see the same explanation. No black boxes.
