    I want something that: I enter an address and dimensions It finds the cheapest way to ship, buys and prints a shipping label. Surely that exists?

        Hard to calculate because ship prices are negotiable dependent on volume (# of shipments, not the volume of containers). For large freight, weight is also a factor. It’s probably a solvable problem if you’re willing to lose some margin by not negotiating.

        I'm just talking "I have this one thing to ship. Here are dimensions and weight. Where should I ship it with?"

        Ahh okay, gotcha. In that case, I’d probably pick up a flat rate envelope/box at USPS or UPS. The price difference between flat rate and optimized for a single ship is probably not worth the time you’d spend thinking about it.

        Dat international tho.... Sorry, I am a total newb at international. My instinct is the variable and ever-changing ship and customs costs would make that hard to program.

        Sounds in part like LP transportation problem, objective function --> minimize shipping costs. Something like that has to exist

        There's a market for something similar, not sure it addresses your needs exactly but worth looking at https://www.uship.com
