A system is presented for establishing a shipping contract between a buyer and a shipper. A maximum price for shipping a buyer's order is established between a seller and a buyer. Based on this maximum price, an authorization number is created between the seller and a shipper, wherein the authorization number identifies the buyer's order and the agreed-upon maximum price. This authorization number is then transmitted to the buyer, who creates a contract between the buyer and the shipper to ship the buyer's order to the buyer. The contract between the buyer and the shipper may include a shipping fee surcharge, which may be disclosed or undisclosed to the buyer.
