In regular shipping the seller who overpays is not the small one; it is the one tied to a single carrier. We want you to compare your volume across several carriers’ tariffs and still deal with one point of contact.

A shop sending a few hundred parcels a month has bargaining power but no time to bargain parcel by parcel. Kovan exists to gather that work on your behalf: you describe your volume once, and we do the comparing.
The flow below is the goal. The right-hand column says where each step really stands today — nothing on this page is written as though a future thing had already happened.
Parcels per month, average volumetric weight, the provinces you ship to and whether you need cash on delivery. Tariffs turn on those four things.
Exists. The application form collects this, and our operations team assesses it by hand.
Several carriers’ prices and delivery times for the same shipment, side by side; you choose.
Does not exist. We have no contract with any carrier. That is why this page shows no working price box, carrier name or logo.
Barcode, label and pick-up plan; you follow it all from one place.
Does not exist. No integration that creates a shipment with a third party has been written.
Which shipment went with which carrier, in a single statement at the end of the month.
Does not exist. Neither the reconciliation against a carrier’s invoice nor the question of whose account the money passes through has been decided.
Why we write it this way: publishing another company’s tariff without a contract is a commercial problem, and using their logo is a trademark problem on top of it. Until the contracts are signed, you will see no price on this page.
There is no name to give yet. The choice is between working directly with carriers operating in Türkiye and working through an aggregator that already holds those contracts.
We have two opposite relationships with courier companies, and it matters not to mix them up.
The flow above is the goal. All we have today is the ability to take an application; the gap between the two is written here, once.
Two needs, two separate forms. Both are request forms for now: our operations team calls you, and there is no self-service ordering screen.
