Shipping Large Or Heavy Items? SHIPAID Makes Freight Simple

Support For Large, Heavy, And Palletized Shipments


If you ship items that are too large or heavy for standard parcel services, SHIPAID can help.

We support freight solutions and offer competitive rates for:

  • Large, bulky, or heavy shipments
  • Palletized and crated loads
  • Oversized or fragile items


You get the same flexibility, cost control, and support that SHIPAID provides for parcel, now applied to freight.


What Is Freight Shipping?

Freight shipping covers goods that go beyond typical parcel size or weight. Common examples include:

  • Palletized shipments
  • Crated equipment
  • Machinery and industrial tools
  • Oversized retail inventory
  • Wholesale and bulk orders
  • Fragile or high value items that need special handling


These shipments move via full truckload (FTL), less than truckload (LTL), or other freight modes.

SHIPAID gives you a path to manage this freight with strong rates and clear workflows.
