Individual order preparation
Orders are picked, packed, and prepared individually at your Canadian warehouse—each ready for final-mile delivery to US customers.
Details: Your warehouse processes Shopify orders as they come in, packing each order separately with its own packing slip. Each package keeps its identity for the entire journey.
Smart consolidation creation
Use ShipBundle to group many orders into a single customs entry, dramatically reducing per-order clearance costs.
Details: Select orders by destination region, value thresholds, or fulfillment center. We calculate customs values, validate addresses, and ensure compliance. Create consolidations of 20–200+ orders in a few clicks.
Label generation & application
Print Scan & Ship labels directly from ShipBundle. Every package gets a unique ID that follows it to final delivery.
Details: Labels include consolidation ID, package number, destination FC code, and final delivery info—optimized for quick scanning at each checkpoint.
Shipment review & confirmation
Review carton counts and docs, then confirm the consolidation for dispatch.
Details: Validate total carton count, review commercial invoice, confirm destination FC, and verify customs values. Adjust anything before locking.
Automated document distribution
ShipBundle pushes all required documentation to your customs broker and fulfillment center.
Details: Commercial invoices, packing lists, warehouse receipts, BOL, and customs forms are distributed via API or email. Brokers receive PARS-ready documentation for faster clearance.
Carrier pickup & transport
Freight carrier collects the consolidated shipment and heads for the US border.
Details: Driver scans master BOL, confirms carton count, and departs. Real-time tracking kicks in for all stakeholders.
Border approach notification
Carrier notifies customs broker of arrival, triggering final clearance prep.
Details: Broker receives arrival notice 2–4 hours before crossing. PARS is activated and final docs are staged in customs systems.
Express customs clearance
Pre-filed documentation enables rapid release—often under 30 minutes.
Details: Because docs were submitted ahead of time, officers can quickly verify and release. One entry for 100+ packages means time and money saved.
Fulfillment center delivery
Carrier delivers the consolidated shipment to the US FC for de-consolidation.
Details: FC receives an advance shipment notice with full manifest, plus receiving docs and space planning for efficient intake.
Final-mile delivery
FC scans each pre-labeled package into the local network for delivery to customers.
Details: Because labels were applied in Canada, the FC simply scans, sorts, and injects—often next-day or 2-day. Your customers get a US-domestic-speed experience.

Frequently asked
Most merchants save 30–40% on clearance. Instead of $30–$50 per order, you’ll pay as little as $3–$5 when consolidating 100+ shipments. At 1,000 orders/month, that’s $27k–$42k in monthly savings.
Ideal for 500+ orders/month to the US. Smaller brands shipping 100+ orders can still see strong ROI. The platform scales to thousands of daily orders.
Typically 3–5 business days: 1 day to the border, same-day clearance, 1–2 days to the FC, and 1–2 days for final mile. Comparable to US-domestic.
Minimal. Keep packing orders individually. Add printing consolidation labels from ShipBundle and grouping by consolidation for pickup.
We identify orders under $800 USD for Section 321 treatment—bypassing formal entry while still benefiting from transportation and handling savings.
Yes. We integrate by API, EDI, or email. Brokers prefer ShipBundle because documentation is standardized and complete.
Why cross-border consolidation matters
The challenge: Canadian merchants shipping to the US often pay individual clearance fees of $30–$50 per package. At hundreds or thousands of orders per month, margins vanish—and US expansion stalls.
The ShipBundle solution: We group many orders into a single customs entry. Consolidating 100+ packages can cut per-order clearance costs by up to 90%. Savings are only part of the story—predictable costs make US growth viable.
Industry impact: Merchants save money and ship faster. Brokers process fewer, larger entries. Carriers run fuller trucks. FCs receive pre-labeled, pre-sorted shipments. The entire chain gets simpler and more efficient.
Benefits by stakeholder
Merchants: Reduce clearance from $30–$50 to $3–$5. Achieve US-domestic speeds. Scale without linear fee growth. Automation replaces manual paperwork.
Brokers: One complete entry instead of hundreds. Standardized data reduces rework and errors.
Carriers: Better truck utilization, simplified pickup and delivery, and shorter border dwell times.
Fulfillment Centers: Advance shipment notices, pre-labeled parcels, faster receiving, and fewer errors.
The technology behind ShipBundle
ShipBundle connects to Shopify, broker systems, carrier tracking, and FC WMSs via modern APIs. We generate customs forms, validate HTS, calculate duties/taxes, produce commercial invoices and packing lists, and distribute docs automatically—all on enterprise-grade infrastructure.
