What you receive

  • Billable weight from actual and optional dimensional weight

  • Break-even buyer shipping charge for every zone
  • Weighted monthly cost, charges, fees, net, and subsidy

Who it is for

Sellers, agencies, and agents pressure-testing a rate table before a human edits a marketplace shipping template.

Delivery: usually a structured result, workbook, or ZIP depending on the tool.

How it stays safe

Friday performs arithmetic only on the weights, rates, surcharges, packaging cost, buyer charges, fee rate, order mix, and expected order count you supply. It fetches no carrier quote, fee schedule, address, order, customer, template, listing, or account; predicts no demand or delivery date; and does not create, edit, activate, price, or publish a shipping template. It does not publish listings. A human must verify current carrier and marketplace terms before changing a template.
