Curri runs beside the existing 3PL and carrier network, matches each load to a vehicle that fits, and books from the WMS through the Curri API. ## What problem does Curri solve for pet e-commerce brands? Heavy pet orders cost the most to deliver. - **Parcel carriers set the terms.** Food, litter, and crates leave your building with carriers you don't run, on their pickup times and their rates. - **Autoship repeats the surcharge every month.** The same heavy bag goes to the same customer every month. So does the oversize fee, and so does any missed delivery. - **Big bags get torn and reclassed.** Parcel sorting reclasses oversized bags or rips them open. Then your support team takes the call. ## How does Curri work for pet e-commerce brands? **Hotshots and Curri Dedicated beside the 3PL.** Book a hotshot when an oversized order has to move today. Put a recurring truck and driver on the lanes where heavy pet freight repeats. Both run beside the 3PL and carrier network already in use, covering the SKUs those partners price worst. ## Which vehicles does Curri use? Stop pushing every heavy SKU through parcel. Curri matches each load to the vehicle that fits, with an insured national network behind it. Vehicles Curri books for pet e-commerce brands: cargo vans, Sprinter vans, box trucks, pickup trucks, stakebed trucks and flatbed trucks. See the full lineup at [Curri fleet](https://www.curri.com/fleet). ## How do teams book and track deliveries? Quote, book, and track from existing fulfillment systems. No second portal, no new workflow for the transportation team. Works with the WMS and OMS. Audit-ready proof on every delivery. Live status from assignment through drop-off, with a photo or signature captured at delivery and attached to the order record. ## Proof **425,000+ Deliveries** over 150 lbs in the last 12 months. Measured on the 56% of completed Curri deliveries carrying a recorded manifest weight. When a customer calls about a missing bag, support opens one screen instead of rebuilding the trip from a carrier portal. ## FAQ (matches visible HTML accordion) ### How does Curri supplement our existing 3PL and carrier network? Curri sits beside what you already run. Use on-demand for overflow and odd-size SKUs your parcel or LTL partners price poorly, and dedicated trucks on lanes where volume is steady. You keep the 3PL relationships and stop forcing every heavy carton through them. ### What happens on oversized SKUs that parcel surcharges? Those loads move on the vehicle that fits, from cargo van to box truck with liftgate, instead of a parcel product that reclasses them. You get a quote and ETA before the truck rolls, and proof of delivery when it lands, so support is not rebuilding the trip from carrier portals. ### Can Curri integrate with our fulfillment and order systems? Yes. Quote, book, and track from inside your fulfillment and order systems, so the team is not jumping to another portal. Your stack stays the front door, and Curri runs behind it. ### How does dedicated capacity price against per-delivery hotshot? Hotshots cover surge and one-off heavy moves. Dedicated covers forecastable volume with a recurring truck and driver on the lanes where cost per delivery is worst. Dedicated costs more for speed and exclusivity. Most teams run both, with dedicated as the baseline and hotshots on top when a market spikes. ## Related Curri pages - [Curri Hotshots](https://www.curri.com/hotshots): same-day and rush delivery, booked on demand - [Curri Dedicated](https://www.curri.com/dedicated): a recurring truck and driver on your lanes - [Curri API](https://www.curri.com/apps/curri-api): quote, book and track from your own systems - [Curri fleet](https://www.curri.com/fleet): every vehicle type Curri books Curri for other retail segments: [Wholesale club](https://www.curri.com/retail/wholesale-club), [Hardware and tools](https://www.curri.com/retail/hardware), [Grocery](https://www.curri.com/retail/grocery), [Home improvement, Pro jobsite rush](https://www.curri.com/retail/home-centers-pro), [Home improvement, peak jobsite overflow](https://www.curri.com/retail/home-centers-peak), [Pet retail](https://www.curri.com/retail/pet-retail), [Office and B2B supply](https://www.curri.com/retail/b2b-supply), [General merchandise](https://www.curri.com/retail/mass-retail), [Furniture e-commerce](https://www.curri.com/retail/furniture). ## Get started - [Get a demo](https://www.curri.com/demo) - [Sign up for free](https://app.curri.com/signup/create)
