You should be able to bring UPS and Fedex online quickly using Easypost:

The problem isn't in connecting our site to an extra shipping carrier, it's in getting the required volume for our rates and service to be excellent. Also about receiving three different batch deliveries daily.

So, once volume picks up, we'll offer FedEx or UPS along with our standard USPS service.

Thanks for the feedback and recommendation. Cheers!

Wait, the site already says you're using UPS for this. Is that a typo (like the HIPAA one I pointed out earlier)?

If it's a typo, then I guess there's another stumbling block until you do eventually offer UPS...

Wow, two for two. You will be our new proofreader.

Yes, that's a typo as well, we only deal with USPS at the moment.

There are two main reasons for this: 1. Every person would be be able to use the service from their home or place of business. 2. They offer free package pick up service.

We use USPS Priority Mail, which takes 2 to 3 days from the majority of the country.
