Measuring a Startup Company's Success with Millions of Dollars Saved

ShipGooder.com officially surpasses one million shipping rate searches this year

TORONTO, ON – September 1, 2009 ShipGooder, Inc. announced today that it has officially provided over one million shipping rate searches to visitors since January 1st, 2009. ShipGooder expects to hit 2 million rate searches by the end of this year. ShipGooder.com, which promotes itself as the “search engine for shipping rates”, offers free, instant rate comparisons from national delivery services such as FedEx and the U.S. Postal service, along with rates from regional and local couriers.

ShipGooder provides free rate comparison services to businesses and consumers with no account registration required. Visitors to the website simply enter two zip codes and a package weight. ShipGooder instantly displays a simple table of courier services, delivery charges and delivery dates. Visitors are not only delighted with ShipGooder’s ease of use and speed, but also with ShipGooder’s policy of not displaying intrusive ads on its website.

"We are thrilled about passing the one million rate search milestone," said Nancy Chafee, VP of Marketing for ShipGooder, Inc. "This is significant not only from the standpoint of ShipGooder’s popularity and success, but also from the perspective of every single dollar our users have saved in shipping costs."

"ShipGooder.com is powered by our proprietary Rapid Rate Server (RRS) technology, which allows local and regional couriers and messengers to compete directly with large national carriers" said Franc Vodopivec, President of ShipGooder, Inc. “We estimate that if three out of five rate searches are performed by a shipping customer who eventually places a delivery order and if you calculate an approximate savings of $11.25 per shipment, our visitors have collectively saved close to seven million dollars by using ShipGooder this year."

ShipGooder recently used Facebook and Twitter to announce their new Courier Directory of carriers from across the U.S. and Canada, as well as to announce the recent addition of international rate quotes. “We’re going to broadcast this milestone to our Facebook fans and Twitter followers,” said Nancy Chafee. “In this economy, great news about substantial cost savings tends to travel fast – especially on social networks.”
