Shipping infrastructure
for the multi-channel era.
Multi-carrier rate shopping across Etsy, Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, and Walmart — without ShipStation's fees or Pirate Ship's limits.
01 — The Problem
The market charges you
to use your own carrier accounts.
Every major shipping platform either over-charges, under-delivers, or cuts off your channels. Sellers are forced to pick the lesser evil.
ShipStation
$99/mo base plan — but add FedEx BYOCA for $95/mo extra. Multi-store costs more. Acquired by Auctane in 2014; pricing has ratcheted up ever since.
Pirate Ship
Free for USPS — but Etsy cut their API integration in October 2024 with less than a week's notice. 5M+ sellers left copying and pasting tracking numbers.
EasyPost / Shippo
Developer-first, usage-based pricing. Not built for sellers — no multi-marketplace sync, no human support, no insurance claim management.
02 — The Catalyst
October 2024 created
5 million displaced sellers.
Etsy terminated Pirate Ship's API integration with less than a week's notice. The r/Etsy thread asking for an alternative gathered 10,000+ responses. Sellers needed a replacement that was Etsy-approved, multi-carrier, and didn't charge them to connect their FedEx account.
- 5M+ Etsy sellers suddenly without automated shipping
- Pirate Ship confirmed they “didn't get the memo” from Etsy
- No existing platform offered USPS + FedEx + DHL + Etsy sync for < $100/mo
- 10K+ Reddit posts in 48 hours asking for exactly what we built
- Etsy officially approved LogixVast as a replacement partner
03 — The Solution
Pirate Ship simplicity.
ShipStation integrations. Neither pricing.
- Multi-carrier rate shopping: USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL in one view
- 7-marketplace sync: Etsy, Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Walmart + more
- BYOCA free on all plans — no $95/mo surcharge to use your own FedEx account
- Human support with published 2-hour SLA, no chatbots
- Insurance claim management built-in
- Returns portal — label generation and customer-facing returns flow
- Exception alerts — stalled packages detected, customer notified automatically
- Full audit trail and Zapier/API access on all paid plans

06 — Why Now
Three tailwinds hit
at the same time.
Etsy / Pirate Ship Severance — Oct 2024
5M+ sellers lost their automated shipping workflow overnight. Etsy approved LogixVast as the replacement. The SEO keyword “pirate ship alternative” now gets 40K+ searches/month.
TikTok Shop Explosion — 2024–2026
TikTok Shop grew 3× GMV in 2024–2025, is now a top-5 US eCommerce channel, and most shipping software still doesn't support it. First-mover advantage window is open now.
USPS Rate Hikes — Multiple in 2024–2025
USPS raised rates multiple times. Sellers on single-carrier platforms absorb the full hit. LogixVast automatically re-routes to the cheapest carrier — a measurable dollar value per shipment.
07 — Competition
Every competitor
has a fatal trade-off.

09 — Traction
Validated by the
October exodus.
The product was built to solve a problem that had already happened. Sellers weren't waiting for a solution — they were actively searching for one.
Organic SEO demand
Monthly searches for “pirate ship alternative” — zero paid acquisition needed to capture intent.
Etsy-approved partner
Official Etsy shipping integration partner status — the only credential that matters for the 5M displaced sellers.
TikTok Shop integration

10 — Team
Operators first,
builders second.
We sold on Etsy before we built for Etsy. We know the customer because we were the customer.
11 — The Ask
Raising $1.2M
to own the channel gap.
18-month runway to hit $500K ARR. The market is open, the demand is proven, and the first platform to nail multi-channel + multi-carrier for small sellers wins a very large market.
