Frequently Asked Questions
-
We can begin with your current order volume and the communities you serve. From there, we can work with you to determine how your needs may change. The more representative the information you are able to provide, the more accurately we can recommend a rate card structure and quote on pricing.
-
Delivery concentration and volume are important pricing factors. As your shipment volume grows, particularly within specific communities, we can review whether a different rate card structure would provide better value.
-
Your rate card establishes the applicable pricing for Base and Plus delivery services, along with available add-ons.
Additionally, when booking via the Starling Partner Portal, you will receive a quoted price for each delivery, before booking.
-
Please contact us. A Starling planner can review the exact pickup and drop-off locations, delivery days, and service requirements to confirm what options are available.
Partial coverage does not necessarily mean the route is unavailable. Additionally, though we may not service your route today, you may have enough volume to support expanding our coverage.
