Free profit-leak audit

Find the money leaking out of your shipping

Most stores lose thousands a year to carrier overcharges, unclaimed refunds, return leakage and lost chargebacks — and never see it. Get a free audit that finds it, with a report you keep no matter what. Start with a rough estimate below.

Directional estimate using conservative industry rates across four leak categories. A real audit uses your actual invoices and order data — request one below for exact numbers.

Address corrections & surcharge errors

What the audit looks for

Carrier overcharges

Dimensional-weight reclass, wrong zones, and duplicate charges quietly inflate your invoice.

Unclaimed late-delivery refunds

Carriers owe you a refund when guaranteed service fails — most stores never file the claim.

Return leakage

Slow restocks, full-price return labels and unsellable units turn returns into a silent margin drain.

Chargeback losses

Disputes lost for lack of evidence — or never fought — hand revenue straight back to the cardholder.

Address-correction fees

Every bad address adds a correction fee. At volume that is thousands a year you can prevent.

Surcharge misbills

Residential, peak and additional-handling surcharges applied in error rarely get caught.

Audit FAQ

Is the audit really free?
Yes. The audit is free and the report is yours to keep. We only earn anything if you choose to use ShipWave to recover and prevent the leaks we find — there is no fee for the audit itself.
What do you need from me?
A recent carrier invoice (UPS, FedEx, USPS or DHL) and ideally a month of order/shipment data, or a Shopify store connection. The more complete the data, the more precise the recoverable number.
How long does it take?
Sending us your data takes about five minutes. We typically return the audit within a few business days, depending on volume.
Will you share or sell my data?
No. Your invoice and order data are used only to produce your audit. We never sell or share it. You can read our privacy policy for the details.
