Chief Executive Officer at uShip

As we wrap up National Small Business Week, I want to take a moment to celebrate the backbone of our platform at uShip and the broader economy — small business owners. At uShip, we are proud to connect businesses and individuals with independent carriers who are themselves small business owners. This partnership is vital as it not only fosters a competitive environment, ensuring that our customers receive the best rates possible, but it also supports the growth and sustainability of small businesses across the country. Every time you choose uShip, you're directly fueling the growth of small businesses. It’s more than just a transaction; it’s a commitment to fairness and opportunity that really embodies the spirit of this week. So, as we reflect on the importance of small businesses, remember that choosing uShip means more than just securing a shipping service. It means supporting hardworking small business owners and contributing to a thriving, diverse marketplace that enriches our community and economy. Thank you to all the small business owners and independent carriers who make uShip what it is today. Here’s to your continued success! 🙌 #NationalSmallBusinessWeek #SmallBusinessWeek #SupportSmallBusiness #OwnerOperator #Entrepreneurship

Heather Hoover-Salomon it’s great to acknowledge the hard work of small business owners and independent carriers, it’s important to address a critical issue. As the CEO of uShip, you have done very little to combat fraud and illegal shipping operations on your platform. These activities severely undermine the platform's integrity and pose significant risks. Before making comments on how to be more effective in other arenas, it would be more prudent to prioritize fixing these deeply flawed and potentially criminal elements of the platform. This comment feels like a slap in the face to small business owners who have to deal with the fraud and illegal shipping activities on your platform, highlighting a double standard that needs urgent attention. Addressing these core issues is crucial to truly supporting the success of small businesses and independent carriers.
