Vintage guitars, sourdough starters, a chair you swear is worth it — Ferret Freight plans, packs, and tracks the one-off shipments the big carriers pretend don't exist.
Message a named router — not a chatbot named after a season — who owns your shipment from doorstep to doorstep and answers before you finish typing.
We spec the crate, foam, and fragile-tape for your specific fragile thing, then send a photo before it leaves. No mystery boxes.
We quietly stitch together couriers, freight, and that one van guy so your single package gets the network big shippers hoard.
Plain-language updates at every handoff, plus a map pin that moves. No 14-digit codes, no 'in transit' for six silent days.
Declare value in one field. If something breaks, we file it, chase it, and pay it — you don't summon a claims department.
Pick a window, we come to your kitchen table. Reschedule from your phone without losing your place in line.
“I sold a 1968 Rickenbacker to a stranger in Lisbon and slept fine. Ferret crated it, photographed it, and texted me when it cleared customs. The buyer cried. Good tears.”
“We ship live sourdough starters to home bakers. Every other carrier treated them like hazardous freight. These people asked how warm the box should be. Nobody asks that.”
“My whole business is one-off ceramic commissions. I stopped dreading shipping day. The named router thing sounds gimmicky until it's 9pm and someone actually replies.”
Start free-ish. Upgrade when it hurts.
For the occasional 'oh no I have to mail this' moment.
For makers and resellers who ship most weeks.
For studios and shops shipping fragile, weird, and often.
