Mapping your shipping methods means telling the Atomix team what carrier and service level you would like to use for your fulfillment.

See below for the Atomix Service Offering Overview

In your online store, chances are there are different shipping options. These might be called "standard" or "free" or "express". They could also be called "UPS" or "FedEx" or "DHL". The labels attached to these options are called "Requested Shipping Services" and are a very important part of your account setup at Atomix.

When you map your shipping, you're telling the Atomix team what options you want selected when an order comes in with a specific requested shipping service. Use this form to provide this information to your team at Atomix.

Please note, if you decide to change or remove a requested shipping service without providing prior notice to Atomix, your order will not be mapped to a carrier and service level, and may not be able to ship until this information is provided.

Shipping Service Overview

Understanding how our shipping works is crucial for our success together.

Let’s break it down:

Service Levels: Economy vs. Ground

Clients choose between our two service levels outlined below:

Economy ($): Delivery within 7-10 days. It’s the economical choice

  • No Residential Fees: Economy shipping doesn’t include additional charges for residential deliveries.

  • Fuel Surcharge: However, fuel surcharge fees may apply. These account for fluctuations in fuel prices affecting shipping costs (which vary by carrier but are normalized for calculating projected shipping costs.)

  • No Shipping Guarantees: While economical, economy shipping doesn’t come with delivery guarantees. It’s like taking the scenic route—reliable but without strict timelines.

Ground ($$): Faster, arriving within 5 days. Our recommended service

  • Residential and Fuel Surcharges: Ground shipping includes both residential and fuel surcharges. These ensure smooth delivery to homes and account for fuel cost variations (which vary by carrier but are normalized for calculating projected shipping costs.)

  • Shipping Guarantee: With Ground shipping, we provide a delivery guarantee. It’s like catching a direct flight—efficient and reliable.

Expedited Services ($$$) (3-Day, 2-Day, Next Day)

These options are available for clients who need lightning-fast shipping. We offer expedited services through rate shopping. We choose the best carrier option for your urgent shipments to meet the requested transit days. Expedited services include both residential and fuel surcharges.

International Services

International shipping is handled on a case-by-case basis, tailored to each client’s unique agreements and requirements.
