Looking for a NimbusPost alternative?
ShipyBox is built for merchants who want pre-dispatch RTO prevention, transparent courier allocation with reasoning, and per-AWB weight dispute workflows — not just shipping at a discounted rate. Compare side-by-side and audit your own shipments in 15 minutes.
- Pre-dispatch AI RTO Shield on every COD order
- Six-dimension courier allocation with per-order reasoning
- Per-AWB weight dispute workflow with evidence upload
- Faster COD remittance and unified ledger across couriers
Built for Indian ecommerce. Not retrofitted from elsewhere.
Logistics-first, not pricing-first
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.
Owned by a 23-office logistics network
ShipyBox is operated by Reliable International. Your shipments are handled by partners with an on-ground presence — not just by software.
AI you can defend in a P&L review
Every AI decision shows its reasoning. Your founder, your CFO and your ops manager all see the same explanation. No black boxes.
