Does is cost more to use ShipRush?
ShipRush saves you money. USPS Delivery Confirmation is free with Priority Mail, and only $0.14 when shipping with other USPS package services. That saves $0.46-$0.50 over purchasing Delivery Confirmation at the post office.

Are there any surcharges with ShipRush?
There are no surcharges when you use ShipRush. You pay only the USPS published rates and not a penny more.

I use QuickBooks and ACT! (or any two or three apps supported by ShipRush). Can I use ShipRush with both?
Not concurrently, no. ShipRush is serialized to a single 'host' application, and you have to enter a different serial # to switch 'host' applications.

The ShipRush philosophy is that you should choose a single application to be the 'hub' of your business. This might be a contact manager or accounting app. In your business, this one 'hub' app is where you always keep address and other information up to date, and it is where tracking numbers will be saved by ShipRush. This is the application you would use ShipRush with.

In any business, it is crucial that everyone go to one application for 'the answers.' If you need an address for the customer Acme Roofing, you should not look in ACT!, and then Peachtree. You should look only in one application, and the whole company knows to keep that one application up to date and maintained.

Many businesses consider their accounting application the hub. This data there is always maintained, and it is the definitive record. CRM-centric firms often consider their contact manager the hub, as it is the comprehensive record of customer contact and interaction.

The important thing is not so much which application is your hub, but that you decide on a hub, and treat your hub well--it is the center of your business!
