I am jumping the gun just a little bit on the launch of this site but wanted our small business readers to have the heads up on a possible way that you could save significant dollars on your shipping cost. They are trying to be the Travelocity of shipping. Good idea, makes sense to me. Check it out!

RedRoller.com is a tool for small businesses, online retailers and consumers that allows then to save time and money with their shipping needs. By filling out a simple online form - which includes basic package information such as weight and destination - users are given a comparative list of shipping services from carriers such as the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, and DHL, as well as regional carriers. Users can then sort their results by price, carrier, delivery or pick-up time to best suit their needs. Shipping labels can be printed on any printer, and the site allows users to choose between scheduling a pick-up time or leaving their packages at the nearest drop-off location.

This simple shipping solution, which does not charge its users any fees, can save businesses 25 - 50 percent of their annual shipping costs. For online vendors and the 7.9 million small businesses that aren't able to obtain bulk discounts from shipping carriers, these savings allow a competitive edge, enabling them to out-price their competitors by passing savings on to customers. As an additional feature for auction sellers, the website is fully integrated with eBay.
