# Black Friday breaks records while retail feet stay home Despite economic uncertainty and tariff anxiety, American shoppers showed up for Black Friday—just not at the mall. **The online surge:** U.S. consumers dropped a record $11.8 billion online Friday, up 9.1% from last year. Add Thanksgiving's $6.4 billion, and you're looking at serious digital spending. Peak traffic hit between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when $12.5 million flowed through virtual shopping carts every minute. The numbers from other trackers paint an even bigger picture: Salesforce pegged U.S. online sales at $18 billion (and $79 billion globally), while Shopify had a monster weekend. **Shopify's BFCM resul...

[FedEx](https://www.pluginhive.com/fedex-shipping/) Freight involves strict pallet rules, dimensional billing, freight classes, accessorial surcharges, and multiple service options. For many WooCommerce stores selling furniture, gym equipment, appliances, industrial supplies, or bulk shipments, managing these requirements manually leads to errors, unexpected surcharges, and customer dissatisfaction. This guide highlights how the plugin simplifies [FedEx Fr...

This isn’t a “horror story”, this isn’t “me whining” (or maybe it is), but either way I’m not trying to act like i’m a victim, just to share my experience. I’ve been OTR for a guy who owns the truck, random load board freight, mostly reefer. I'm paid 25% of the load and get photos of the rate cons. I’m 1099 and no benefits. I was just in a truck for 5 weeks, and had two 34 hr resets at home during that time. Most of the loads he booked required a lot of running on PC during my 34 or after maxing out my 11 in order to get it there on time. But had two actual resets at home. He doesn’t explicitly say “you gotta break Hours of service rules” but the appointment ...

Hi all — quick question from someone outside North America. I have a small camper trailer (folding/teardrop style) — roughly the footprint and volume of a large cardboard box rather than a full-sized RV — and I’m exploring options to send one to the US or Canada. If you’ve shipped something similar (small trailer, gear-packed box, folding teardrop, or palletized camping unit), could you share: * Which shipping method you used (parcel carrier, LTL freight, pallet + LTL, or something else)? * Any recommended carriers or brokers for door-to-door vs port-to-port? * Typical transit times and ballpark cost ranges (for something \~size\_of\_large\_box / weight \~\[if you know, add wei...

Hey everyone — Kevin here from Backcountry. Over the past year, we’ve been working nonstop with USPS and FedEx to fix something that many Alaskan customers rightfully called out: **shipping costs had gotten out of control.** Rates were exploding, carriers were refusing certain package sizes, and we had to make some tough short-term decisions that weren’t friendly to your sensibilities. The good news: **we’re finally able to significantly lower prices again.** **What’s Changing** * **$30 flat-rate 2-day air shipping** for all standard packages to Alaska & Hawaii * *Excludes LTL freight and bicycles* * **Free 2-day air shipping on orders over $1,000** **Why This Took ...

Hi! I am looking to speak with businesses that ship products via truckload (LTL or FTL) and primarily communicate with their network of carriers and freight brokers through email. I am currently working on a project designed to centralize all shipment data in one place so it is no longer scattered or lost in email threads. I need help determining if this is an actual problem or not that Logistics Managers/owners companies are experiencing.  A typical scenario I’m focused on is when a manufacturer needs to move a load and sends an email blast to their private network of carriers or brokers with shipment details to request quotes or book transportation. They then receive multiple rate re...

I'm moving from New Orleans to Seattle in a month. I was planning to drive while towing my stuff in a 5x8 Uhaul trailer. I have about 150 cubic feet of stuff to move and this seems like the most cost effective method. I've looked at PODS, UPack, and Ubox and all are at least $1500 more than driving while towing. Are there any other methods which might work that are less expensive? I was thinking LTL freight, but I don't have a dock. I've heard of truck shares, but I don't really have the space for a trailer to be parked in my neighborhood. If there aren't any other options, that's all good. I'm just trying to see if there's anything I've h...

Hey! Does anyone have some freight they haul on the regular out of the Chicago market and need an LTL carrier? Looking to expand down there but it is pretty locked up. Also happy to answer any questions about reefer ltl pricing, things to consider and carriers out there.
