Compare Shipping Carriers for Your Store

Have Sidekick build a ShopifyQL report of your store's actual shipping label costs and delivery times by carrier, using Shopify Shipping's built-in options.

📋 Prompt
Run in Sidekick
Help me compare shipping carriers for my Shopify store using my own store’s data.

Store URL: [Your Store URL]
Shipping origin: [City, State, Country]
Primary destinations: [Domestic regions, international countries]
Average package weight: [e.g., 2 lbs]
Average package dimensions: [e.g., 10x8x4 inches]
Monthly order volume: [e.g., 100-500 orders]
Carriers currently used via Shopify Shipping: [e.g., USPS, UPS, DHL Express]
Priority: [Lowest cost / Fastest delivery / Best tracking / Most reliable]

Build a ShopifyQL report from my store’s actual fulfillment and shipping-label data that shows, per carrier already available through Shopify Shipping:


  Average shipping label cost for orders matching my typical weight/dimensions
  Order volume shipped through each carrier over the last [TIME PERIOD, e.g., 90 days]
  Average time from label purchase to delivery, where tracking data is available
  Which zip/postal code zones each carrier handled cheapest for my orders
  A simple recommendation for which built-in carrier to default to for lightweight vs. heavy packages, based on this data


Scope this to carriers already reachable through Shopify Shipping — connecting a separate negotiated carrier account, applying for volume discounts, or filing insurance claims outside Shopify are steps I’ll handle myself, not through Sidekick.
