Is there a program to compare shipping quotes?

We are a small company and we have accounts with USPS, UPS, and Fed-Ex. Our current process is that on every order when we go to ship I have to type in the address, weight, and dimensions, and then find the best shipping quote. This can be very time-consuming. Do any of you know of a program/software that we can use to enter the information once and get a quote from all of the different shipping companies? Just to clarify I am looking to ship individual small packages, and I want to be able to enter in my accounts with these companies so that the negotiated rates are what is displayed. Thank you for reading.

I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for but on the list your item form next to Services in the domestic shipping section you can click on calculate shipping, enter the info and then click on the tabs to see usps, FedEx and ups quotes.

 Focusing first on "individual small packages" you will find that on any package usually less than about 4 pounds USPS has always been cheaper than either FedEx or UPS.

 

For heavier packages you can get USPS and FedEx side by side if you click "print shipping label" and then under the weight and size click on "all". That will show both USPS and FedEx prices together without actually committing you to buy. Unfortunately UPS is not included in that combo.
