AiDeliv launched an AI-powered DDP marketplace where carriers compete in real-time reverse auctions, locking in total landed costs before shipment.
Before carriers even see a shipment, the AI screens them: route history, customs performance, damage rates. Only providers with proven track records get to bid.
"Traditional shipping puts small importers at the bottom of the priority list," says Vitalii Savryha, founder. "We flipped that. On our platform, carriers have real skin in the game—they compete to get in, and they know that one mishandled shipment could cost them access to the entire network. Your cargo stops being 'just one pallet' and becomes part of something they can't afford to lose."
Key takeaways:
· AiDeliv combines demand from multiple small businesses into volumes that force carriers to compete. The result: enterprise-level rates for companies that couldn't access them before.
· During closed beta testing (summer-fall 2025), the platform processed $600,000 in shipments. Users reported cost reductions of 15-60% compared to their previous arrangements. For a seller importing $50,000 monthly from China, that translates to $900–$3,600 saved per month, straight to the bottom line.
· The platform covers routes from China, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, to the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan. Air freight runs 5-12 days, ocean 18-45. Primary focus: the China-to-U.S. corridor.
· The platform operates on DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms—all customs duties, taxes, and fees are included in the final bid. The platform automates DDP coordination through its reverse auction exchange, making transparent landed costs accessible to smaller importers.
· AI-vetted carriers on the platform bid in a reverse auction—each offer must beat the last. The winning bid isn't just the lowest price; it's the best offer among carriers already filtered for quality. Accept anytime or walk away with zero obligation. The platform never moves cargo without explicit approval.
· Every bid includes door-to-door delivery with customs clearance handled—no hidden fees at destination. Carriers need $100,000 cargo coverage just to participate. Problems get reported through AiDeliv—the seller deals with the platform, the platform deals with the carrier. Carriers understand that losing the platform's trust means losing access to every shipper on the platform.
