There is a cool company in New York called Shipster, I think in some ways they are better than Shyp. Check them out. This looks like the new Uber vs. Lyft rivalry to me

What makes them seem better than Shyp? On the surface, Shipster seems much younger and looks like a copycat player.

Nothing against copying and competing really, but would like to understand the basis of your claims on the ways they are better.

I travel between san francisco and new york all the time and tried both services.

Honestly, I liked that shipster gave me a price upfront for all shipping speeds and that I could track my shipments more intuitively from the app. That was way way better.

Shyp is obviously in the press all the time, but that doesnt mean its a better service.

You can select 'shipping options' and get a quote in there.

We are continuously A/B testing every interaction and hiding the price in a sub-menu helped across the board.
