What is Box of Savings and who is it for?
Box of Savings is the minimum-volume entry point to IB Non-Con. It is how International Bridge gives businesses that ship lower volumes to non-continental U.S. destinations full access to the IB Non-Con network: growing DTC brands, independent retailers, and online sellers, with the same transit times, the same delivery infrastructure, and the same per-parcel cost efficiency as high-volume accounts.
How it works
The model is simple: generate five or more IB Non-Con labels through the IB platform, place the labeled parcels into a single consolidated box, and ship the box to the IB facility we designate. IB opens the box, processes each parcel, and delivers them through the standard IB Non-Con network. For a full step-by-step walkthrough of the consolidation model, see our Box of Savings guide on the blog.
Who Box of Savings is for
Box of Savings is designed for any business that ships non-continental parcels but does not yet have the volume to benefit from a standard IB Non-Con account structure. In practice, this includes:
- Growing DTC brands and online sellers who want to offer shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico but are still scaling their non-continental volume
- Smaller retailers and independent brands serving military and APO/FPO customers
- Seasonal businesses with non-continental volume that concentrates in specific periods and does not justify year-round high-volume commitments
If you're currently excluding Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico from your shipping zones because the cost or complexity felt prohibitive, Box of Savings is designed specifically to remove that barrier.
