Order volumes will soon climb, carrier capacity will tighten, and holiday surcharges can make every shipment more expensive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your shipping operation relies on a single carrier, now\u2019s the time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/guides\/the-peak-season-shipping-playbook-for-ecommerce-order-fulfullment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prepare your peak season shipping strategy<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/blog\/carrier-flexibility-is-the-new-competitive-edge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using multiple carriers gives you more flexibility<\/a> when rates change, services become constrained, or delivery requirements vary by order. Combine the right carrier mix with rate shopping and shipping automation, and you can manage holiday shipping more efficiently without adding unnecessary complexity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how to prepare your multi-carrier shipping operation before the seasonal rush.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-relying-on-one-carrier-puts-peak-season-shipping-at-risk\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why relying on one carrier puts peak season shipping at risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-why-relying-on-one-carrier-puts-peak-season-shipping-at-risk\">Peak season puts pressure on every aspect of fulfillment, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/blog\/warehouse-management-for-peak-season-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warehouse management<\/a> to carrier pickups and final delivery. Even a reliable carrier can experience capacity constraints, service disruptions, and rate increases when shipping volumes surge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly half (49%) of merchants are concerned about capacity constraints and delivery delays during the busy season, while 47% pointed to carrier rate increases and surcharges as peak season concerns (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/guides\/shipstation-2026-merchant-insights-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ShipStation\u2019s 2026 Merchant Insights Report<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on a single carrier leaves you with fewer options when those challenges arise. You may have limited alternatives without an established relationship with another carrier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-why-relying-on-one-carrier-puts-peak-season-shipping-at-risk\">A multi-carrier strategy gives you more ways to respond and keep orders moving when conditions change. You can compare available services, direct shipments to the carrier that best fits each order, and shift volume when your usual option no longer meets your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-many-carriers-do-you-need-for-holiday-shipping\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many carriers do you need for holiday shipping?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many ecommerce businesses, two or three well-chosen carriers provide a useful starting point. That gives you options without complicating your shipping operation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think about your current shipping needs as you consider adding another carrier:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Order volume<\/strong>: How many shipments do you process during a typical week, and how much does volume increase during peak?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delivery destinations<\/strong>: Do you ship primarily within the US, or do you also serve international customers?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Existing agreements<\/strong>: Do your current carrier contracts offer the rates and services you need?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carriers such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL can all be part of a multi-carrier strategy. The right combination depends on your destinations, shipment profiles, and delivery requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-shipstation-content-row block not-prose padding-top--sm padding-bottom--sm columns-2 align-center gap-lg ratio-70-30\">\n    <div class=\"content--md\">\n        <div class=\"container not-prose\">\n\n                        <div class=\"content-row__columns content-row__columns--border-top content-row__columns--border-bottom\">\n                                    <div class=\"content-row__column content-row__column--text\">\n                                                    <div class=\"content-row__text text-align-left\">\n                                \n                                                                    <h2 class=\"h4\">The Peak Season Playbook<\/h2>\n                                \n                                                                    <div class=\"content-row__body\">A guide to preparing for, executing, and learning from your biggest shipping season.<\/div>\n                                \n                                                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"content-row__column content-row__column--text\">\n                                                    <div class=\"content-row__text text-align-left\">\n                                \n                                \n                                \n                                                                                                    <div class=\"content-row__cta-wrapper\">\n                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/guides\/the-peak-season-shipping-playbook-for-ecommerce-order-fulfullment\/\" class=\"btn\">Read the Guide<\/a>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the gaps in your current setup. If you already have reliable coverage for most orders but lack a practical backup choice for certain destinations or package types, focus on filling those gaps rather than adding carriers without a clear purpose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-choose-between-ups-fedex-usps-and-dhl-for-peak-season-shipping\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to choose between UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL for peak season shipping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL are familiar names in the shipping landscape, but choosing a carrier isn\u2019t simply a matter of picking one preferred provider. Each shipment has its own requirements, and the best option can change depending on the destination, package, service level, and available rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When evaluating your carrier mix, consider:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Destination<\/strong>: Make sure you have suitable services for the regions and countries you ship to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delivery speed<\/strong>: Match service levels to customer expectations and promised delivery dates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shipment characteristics<\/strong>: Consider package dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shipping cost<\/strong>: Compare the available rates for each shipment instead of assuming one carrier is always the cheapest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Backup options<\/strong>: Identify alternatives you can use when your preferred service is delayed or unavailable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/en-gb\/blog\/will-your-shipping-operations-survive-peak-season-a-peak-season-shipping-checklist-for-uk-sellers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shipping to and from the UK during peak<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/fulfillment\/shipping\/international\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shipping to other international destinations<\/a>, consider your customs documentation, duties and taxes, and delivery requirements alongside the shipping rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to route every order through every carrier. Instead, establish clear rules for choosing the best available option based on your business priorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rate-shopping-helps-reduce-peak-season-shipping-costs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rate shopping helps reduce peak season shipping costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrier rates and surcharges can change how much it costs to fulfill an order. During peak season, shipping costs can rise just as you\u2019re working to keep delivery promises and protect margins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/guides\/rate-shopping-in-action\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rate shopping helps you compare available services for each shipment<\/a> and choose an option that fits your cost and delivery requirements. Rather than defaulting to a single carrier, you can evaluate rates from UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, and other connected carriers where supported.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the lowest rate isn\u2019t always best. Consider the full picture, including delivery speed, service requirements, and the potential cost of a late or unsuccessful delivery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A practical rate-shopping strategy should establish your priorities in advance. For example, you might select the lowest-cost service that meets a delivery deadline or prioritize a particular service for orders with tighter delivery windows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ShipStation\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/fulfillment\/shipping\/rate-shopper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rate Shopper<\/a> helps merchants compare available shipping rates and choose services that best fit their shipping needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set your rules before peak season begins, then review them as your order volume, costs, and carrier performance change. That way, your team can make consistent shipping decisions without manually comparing every option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-shipping-automation-keeps-your-carrier-mix-running-smoothly\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shipping automation keeps your carrier mix running smoothly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding carriers gives you more flexibility, but it can also introduce more work if your team has to make every shipping decision manually. Hiring seasonal staff is a common response to peak volume, with 40% of merchants planning to do so (), but adding people t make a manual carrier decision any simpler.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/blog\/6-automation-rules-to-build-before-peak-season-hits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peak-season shipping automation<\/a> helps you manage a more complex carrier mix without increasing manual effort. Instead of evaluating every order individually, you can use rules to apply shipping preferences, assign services, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/guides\/automation-in-action-how-companies-cut-fulfillment-costs-and-scaled-operations-with-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">streamline repetitive fulfillment tasks<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider automating these decisions before peak season:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Carrier selection<\/strong>: Apply rules based on destination, order value, package characteristics, or service requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Service selection<\/strong>: Choose an appropriate service based on delivery expectations and your shipping priorities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Geographic routing<\/strong>: Send orders to regional or national carriers based on destination zone, and route international orders to dedicated accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Failover<\/strong>: Move a zone\u2019s volume to your backup carrier when your primary carrier falls behind or becomes unavailable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exception handling<\/strong>: Flag orders that fall outside your normal rules so your team can review them before they create delays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a failover rule could shift a zone\u2019s shipments to your backup carrier when the primary runs behind, while a service-selection rule could prioritize cost when a longer delivery window is acceptable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim is to automate predictable decisions and leave your team free to handle exceptions. Review your rules before the rush, test them with representative orders, and make sure they work as expected across your carrier mix.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/fulfillment\/automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ShipStation\u2019s shipping automation features<\/a> to see how rules can simplify fulfillment workflows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-four-week-plan-to-prepare-for-peak-season-shipping\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A four-week plan to prepare for peak season shipping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/blog\/the-peak-season-shipping-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Preparing for peak season is easier when you break the work into manageable steps<\/a>.
