Deliverr holds 3,583 at 1.50. Verizon Connect holds 1,918 at 3.50. AfterShip holds 784 at 4.80. A fulfillment default can fall apart in public and still sit near the top of the volume table.

A 1.50 from 3,500 reviews is not a small-sample fluke. It is the loudest warning in this series. AfterShip at 4.80 is the other end: a tracker merchants installed on purpose.

How this data was measured

Every figure in this report is computed live from the Toolradar directory on September 17, 2026, covering the 104 published tools we categorize under Logistics. Pricing model is read from each vendor's official pricing page. The entry price is the cheapest positive monthly tier a tool publishes. Ratings and review counts are aggregated from third-party platforms (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and others), not from Toolradar's own reviews. The leaderboard floor is 150 aggregated reviews. This is a directory snapshot, not a survey.
