Every Late Package Is a Customer You Might Not See Again

AI agents and delivery-trained specialists handle tracking inquiries, delivery exceptions, and pickup scheduling in 65+ languages — because in express delivery, every minute counts.

The short version: per resolved issue from $1, nothing if it is not resolved — because in express work an unresolved contact usually means a service-level credit as well as a repeat call. Capacity pricing is available too: a shared live team from $650 a month for 1,500 minutes, AI voice at $0.15 a minute for pickup booking and tracking.

who takes which call

Route by the cost of getting it wrong.

Most vendors sell you either an AI receptionist or a live answering service and leave the allocation to you. Since we run both, here is the split we would actually recommend — including the calls we think should never touch automation.

The callRoute toCost of getting it wrong
Book a pickup, change a pickup window AI Low. Structured task with a right answer.
Track a shipment, first enquiry AI Low. Read the scan record back.
Missed the service-level commitment Live agent High. A credit is owed and the account is deciding whether to stay.
Time-critical shipment still not moving Live agent High. Escalation, not explanation.
Customs hold or documentation problem Live agent High. Clocks are running and the answer is specific.
Account customer threatening to move volume Live agent High. This is the contract talking.

what it costs

Published rates, so you can do the arithmetic first.

Most vendors in this category quote by form. These are our published packages — not a quote, since language mix, hours and volume all move the number. The per-minute figures are simply the monthly price divided by the included minutes.

OptionPublished pricePer minuteWhat it's for
Live shared team from $650 / month includes 1,500 min → ≈ $0.43/min Peak and disruption periods, when volume and complaint rate rise together
AI voice $0.15 per minute Pickup booking and tracking lookups — the highest-volume, lowest-judgement calls you have
Web chat $0.05 per session Rate and transit-time questions from your website, where a slow answer loses the shipment
Live shared team from $300 / month includes 500 min → ≈ $0.60/min A live team across email, chat and social for steady account traffic
Dedicated agent from $5.80 per hour, per agent A dedicated agent who knows your service levels, your cut-off times and your account customers

Anything involving a person is a starting price. Two things move it: which languages you need, and how senior an agent the work actually requires — a bilingual agent handling refund authority is not the same hire as one taking bookings. AI voice and web chat are flat, because there is no hiring in them. And every model above is open to every business on this page: which one fits is a question about the shape of your volume, not about your industry.

Minimum engagement is half a seat — not a five-seat block. We also bill per resolved issue, from $1, where you pay nothing if it is not resolved; that model fits businesses where a customer problem actually gets solved on the call, not businesses where the call is intake.

setup

Five days to put the right person on it.

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

your existing software

It goes into your system, with a record of who said what.

We work inside the CRM, practice system or case tool you already run, rather than handing you a second inbox to check. Every contact leaves a timestamped record — who called, what was asked, what was said back, what was promised — because in your line of work the question six months later is not "did someone call" but "what exactly did we tell them". Tell us what you run and we will say straight whether we connect to it today.

questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

How much does it cost?

AI voice is $0.15 per minute and web chat is $0.05 per session. Live agents start at $300 per month including 500 minutes — about $0.60 per minute — or from $5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

How fast can you start answering our phones?

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

Do you answer in Spanish?

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.

Can I mix AI and live agents on one number?

That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.

Can you tell a customer whether a service credit applies?

We read your published service-level terms back verbatim and capture everything needed to assess the claim — shipment reference, committed time, actual scan times, and what the customer says happened. What we will not do is approve or deny a credit on your behalf unless you have given us an explicit rule to apply. Approving credits we do not own is how a support vendor quietly rewrites your margin, and we would rather escalate.

How do you handle account customers differently from one-off senders?

Account customers get a named agent who knows their cut-off times, their usual lanes and their history, because for them a support call is a relationship event rather than a transaction. One-off senders get the fast path: booking, tracking, rates. Mixing the two in a single queue means your highest-value accounts wait behind someone asking about a $12 parcel, which is exactly backwards.
