Everything Your Freight Store Needs
One plugin for the full LTL freight workflow: live rates, pallet math, freight class, accessorials, multi-warehouse quoting and hazmat details, all in your J2Commerce checkout.
Live Negotiated Rates J2Commerce 6
Your actual Unishippers SpeedShip rates appear at checkout before the customer pays. They are your rates for the items in the cart and the shipping address.
Intelligent Pallet Packing J2Commerce 6
The packing engine groups mixed carts into handling units, following per-product "own pallet" flags and maximum weight limits.
Density-Based Freight Class J2Commerce 6
The NMFC class is calculated from dimensions and weight, using seventeen density breakpoints from Class 50 to Class 400, with Class 500 below the lowest.
10 Accessorials at Checkout J2Commerce 6
Liftgate, residential, inside delivery, appointment, construction site, tradeshow, limited access, sort/segregate, cold protection, notify before delivery, shown as checkboxes at checkout, priced before the order is placed.
Multi-Warehouse Routing J2Commerce 6
Each cart item routes to its assigned warehouse, and the quotes for each origin are combined into one displayed rate.
Hazmat Support J2Commerce 6
Per-product hazmat details (UN number, proper shipping name, DOT hazard class, packing group and 24-hour emergency contact) flow directly into the freight quote request.
Smart Quote Cache J2Commerce 6
Identical requests for the same cart, destination and accessorials are answered from cache, for 12 hours by default.
Live API Log Viewer J2Commerce 6
See the last 25 API request and response pairs, with endpoint, status, response time and full body, from your plugin settings.
65+ NMFC Commodity Presets J2Commerce 6
Pick a class preset such as Aluminum Sheets, HVAC Equipment or Granite Slabs from the product editor. Override per-product when you need exact control.

The Pallet Math Machine
LTL freight is priced by handling unit, not by item. That means your checkout needs to know how many pallets, at what weight, in what dimensions, before it can get a real rate. The pallet packing engine works this out for every cart.
- Products needing dedicated pallets get dedicated handling units
- Mixed products consolidated up to your max pallet weight
- Heavy carts split automatically across multiple pallets
- Force-separate pallet rules applied per product and quantity
- Stackable and non-stackable products handled correctly
Mis-declared pallets get flagged at delivery. You pay the difference, plus a reweigh fee. The packing engine stops this.

Accessorials in the Quote
Carriers charge for liftgate, residential delivery, inside delivery and other services, and bill them afterward if they were not in the quote. Showing them at checkout puts them in the price upfront.
- Liftgate: Never / Always / Auto (by item weight) / Customer Selects
- Residential delivery: same four-mode control
- 8 additional customer-selectable surcharges at checkout
- Selected accessorials flow directly into the rate request
- No post-shipment accessorial surprises on either side
Every accessorial surcharge included in the quote, before the order is placed. Carriers don't forgive missing ones.
J2Commerce 6
Multiple Warehouses. One Quote.
Two distribution centers. Products split between them. Customer in the middle ordering from both. The warehouse routing engine figures out which items ship from which origin, gets separate freight quotes, and combines the cheapest from each into a single displayed total. The customer sees one number. You know exactly where everything ships from.
- Assign products or categories to specific warehouses
- Unassigned items default to your first warehouse
- Independent handling fees per warehouse (flat, %, or per-pound)
- Drop-ship warehouse flag for third-party fulfillment origins
- Residential and liftgate pickup flags per warehouse
Multi-warehouse LTL quoting without automation is manual coordination on every split order.

Building Materials Supplier
A building materials supplier has freight class calculated from density and offers a construction site delivery option at checkout.
Refrigerated / Cold Protection
Food and Beverage Distributor
A food distributor lets buyers choose Protection From Cold and residential delivery, and repeat quotes come from the cache.
Tradeshow and Event Supply Company
An event supply company offers tradeshow and appointment delivery at checkout, priced in the rate.
Some LTL, Some Parcel
Mixed Catalog Store
A mixed-catalog store marks small items as not freight-eligible, so Unishippers appears only when a freight item is in the cart.
