"Find and compare shipping rates of more than 100 carriers" but only 11 listed on the "Supported Couriers" page. What am I missing?

Hi kd5bja, valid question. The statement you quoted is our vision for the future. We just launched with our MVP and we're working on the courier side to get as many courier services into our database as possible. At the moment we don't cover all courier services globally. We've got the courier services from Germany, UK, Sweden, Finland and Norway in our database. That's why it's only 11 couriers. I hope for your understanding and I really hope that we can reach our vision soon.

The way your frontpage is built, it looks like a claim of what you currently provide. It's also odd that you show the DHL and TNT logos on the front page but don't actually support them yet.

I like your vision and hope you get there, but misleading potential customers like that doesn't sit well with a lot of people.

I agree with your point and we never had the intention to mislead our customers. I'm sorry if it appeared as if we were trying to mislead them! We just launched and there was no bad intention behind putting the logos up there. I guess we were just a little too rash with that decision. We're currently in talks with both TNT and DHL and will have them in the database within the next two weeks. I'd just like to assure you again that there was no bad intention at all!
