Shyp packs the item and determines which carrier will be cheapest and most reliable. The whole process costs $5, plus postage, making it one of the cheapest and easiest options out there for shipping anything.Prior to this round, Shyp had raised a total of $12.1 million, including a $10 million round in July last year. The previous round was led by Shervin Pishevar and Scott Stanford’s SherpaVentures. For a startup like Shyp, extra capital helps to expand to new cities — it’s currently available in Miami, New York and San Francisco.
According to one of our sources, Kleiner Perkins may be leading the funding round.
