Key Questions Addressed:

Shopify Shipping vs. Flexport: Shopify Shipping is a built-in tool for merchants who self-fulfill orders, offering pre-negotiated rates with carriers (USPS, UPS, DHL, Canada Post). Flexport is a comprehensive 3PL supply chain solution for complex fulfillment needs (freight, inventory storage, product prep). Shopify Shipping currently available in Canada, US, UK, France, Spain, Italy, and Australia—not yet in Germany, though teams recognize its importance.
