Why ShipyBox

Built for India, owned by Reliable International

Logistics intelligence, not just aggregation
Aggregation is table stakes. ShipyBox layers AI RTO Shield, NDR Intelligence and Weight Reconciliation on top — features that directly affect your unit economics, not just your operations.
Honest, defensible decisions
Every courier allocation shows its reasoning. Every weight dispute has an evidence trail. Your ops, finance and founders can defend every decision — no magic boxes.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you wanted to know about shiprocket alternative.
Is ShipyBox really a Shiprocket alternative or just a clone?
ShipyBox is a different category of product. Shiprocket pioneered courier aggregation in India — ShipyBox layers logistics intelligence (AI RTO Shield, NDR Intelligence, Weight Reconciliation) on top of multi-courier aggregation. If you only need rate comparison, Shiprocket may suffice. If you want pre-dispatch RTO prevention, defensible weight disputes, and reasoning behind every courier pick, ShipyBox is built differently.
How does ShipyBox pricing compare to Shiprocket?
Both use volume-tiered pricing models. ShipyBox quotes are all-inclusive without per-order processing fees on most tiers. The honest answer: pricing depends on your monthly volume, courier mix and COD share — book a 15-minute audit and we'll share your indicative quote.
Can I migrate from Shiprocket to ShipyBox without losing tracking history?
Yes. Your in-flight Shiprocket shipments continue to deliver and track on Shiprocket. New shipments route through ShipyBox. Migration typically completes within a week, and we offer a dedicated onboarding manager to make the transition smooth for your ops team.
Does ShipyBox support the same couriers as Shiprocket?
ShipyBox currently supports five major Indian couriers — Delhivery, Blue Dart, Xpressbees, Ecom Express, Ekart — with more being added. Coverage on the highest-volume couriers used by Indian D2C is in place.
What if I want to keep Shiprocket and try ShipyBox alongside?
That's a common pattern. Many merchants run ShipyBox alongside Shiprocket for the first 4–8 weeks, route a controlled slice of shipments through ShipyBox, and migrate fully once the comparison data convinces their ops team. We support this hybrid setup.
