About the assistant

What ShipAxis AI Does

ShipAxis AI is a chat assistant for shipping preparation. Describe what you are shipping and it works through packaging, restrictions and documentation. When you're ready, ShipAxis AI directs you to the ShipAxis shipping platform for rates, labels and tracking. The assistant does not sell shipping and is not authorization to ship a regulated item.

Package Coach

Most damage claims start with the wrong box or the wrong cushioning. The Package Coach asks the questions experienced shippers ask, one at a time, so nothing important is skipped.

Box selection and crush strength

The assistant recommends single-wall versus double-wall corrugated based on weight, fragility and stacking. Heavy or dense items get a box rated above their gross weight, and fragile goods get double-boxing with a minimum of two inches of cushioning on every side.

Cushioning that actually matches the item

Foam-in-place and molded corners protect rigid electronics, bubble and cell packs protect glass and ceramics, and air pillows are void fill only, not impact protection. The coach explains which one your item needs and why.

Weight, dimensions and dimensional pricing

Carriers price on billable weight, so an oversized box costs more than a right-sized one. The assistant asks for outside dimensions and actual weight so the platform can quote accurately instead of estimating.

Declared value, coverage and claim evidence

Declared value is not insurance. The coach explains liability limits, when added coverage is worth buying, and what packaging photos and receipts you should keep in case a claim is ever filed.

Temperature-sensitive and perishable shipping

Transit time drives the coolant plan. The assistant works through insulated liners, gel packs versus dry ice, ventilation requirements and the delivery windows that keep perishables viable.

International documentation

Commercial invoices, harmonized codes, country-of-origin details and duty responsibility are covered in plain language so paperwork is not the reason a shipment is held.

AI Pack & Measure — Available Now

Photograph the item you want to ship and ShipAxis AI Pack & Measure suggests a likely item type, estimated dimensions and weight, a recommended box and cushioning, and an estimated packed size and weight. Every figure is an estimate based on the information provided — ShipAxis AI Recommends. The Customer Decides And Verifies. You confirm the actual packaged dimensions and weight before any label is purchased. Open AI Pack & Measure.

Advanced Product Identification — Coming Soon

Exact product recognition, barcode lookup and camera depth measurement are still in development. Until those are released, describe the item or add a reference object to your photo for a better estimate.

Restricted And Regulated Item Guidance

Some shipments require more than good packaging. When the assistant recognizes a regulated commodity, it flags the shipment, explains the requirements and blocks the handoff until the review is completed with you.

  • Alcohol, wine and spirits — approved-shipper accounts, adult-signature delivery and state-by-state rules apply.
  • Lithium batteries — installed, packed-with or standalone cells follow different rules, with watt-hour limits and marking requirements.
  • Aerosols, perfume and flammables — accepted only where the carrier and account expressly allow it, under limited-quantity handling, ground-only routing and packaging specifications; otherwise prohibited. The Shipping Rules & Liability page controls.
  • Dry ice and perishables — quantity marking, venting and transit-time limits apply.
  • Medication, medical devices and biological samples — licensing and category-specific packaging apply.
  • Firearms, ammunition, tobacco, cannabis and hazardous materials — heavily restricted or prohibited by carrier and by law.

AI guidance is informational only. Carrier terms, applicable law, customs rules and approved-shipper requirements control every shipment. ShipAxis AI never authorizes, certifies or approves a regulated shipment.
