the Freightcom Advantage

Shredz

For Sam Stuart, owner of the Cochrane, Alberta skateboard shop Shredz, the chance to make a career of supporting the skateboarding community in his hometown was a dream come true. As with any business, however, there are challenges. For all the shop’s strengths, shipping remained a constant pain point. “It’s hard to get competitive rates as a small business; you always feel like you’re getting underserved compared to the big stores.”

Freightcom offered Shredz the competitive edge it needed. “One of my friends reached out to me and told me to try Freightcom. We ran the numbers and they were cheaper on every single package we compared with, so it was a no-brainer.”

When Shredz saw a 70 percent jump in their eCommerce sales in 2020, Freightcom was there to ensure that the sudden scaling was manageable and didn’t adversely affect their bottom line.

These days, Shredz has a wider audience than ever, and a shipping strategy that spans across Canada. Sam recognizes that the shift to a stronger eCommerce model requires a strong shipping partner, and Freightcom is more than happy to help Shredz continue to grow nationally, and even globally.

Hides in Hand

When Teresa Paul started Hides in Hand, it was with a clear mission to build a leather goods brand that was as Canadian as the goods it offered.

"We're working exclusively with leather hide. It doesn't have any coatings or waxes on it to make it stiff and firm. It's very buttery and soft."

When selling her goods online, however, Teresa was struggling to get shipping that was as flexible and high-quality as the leather she was sourcing.

"Shipping is a huge challenge. You have to spend a ton of money to get a decent rate."

Freightcom was there to help.

“You’ve got every courier. It’s just a matter of a click, and it’s done.”
