<< After careful consideration, we've decided to transition Shyp couriers, the individuals who complete pickups at our customers' homes and offices, to W2 employees. This move is an investment in a longer-term relationship with our couriers, which we believe will ultimately create the best experience for our customers.
Here at Shyp, we have three different roles that make up the workforce that creates the awesome Shyp experience that we’ve become known for. We have couriers (handle pickups), satellite van drivers (take items to warehouse) and those in the warehouse (handle packing and shipping, etc.). This move does not impact our satellite drivers or warehouse employees, who have been classified as W2 since Shyp launched in March of 2014, due to the specific responsibilities of their role. >>
