Best Copier Shipping Companies in 2025

Not all copier shipping companies are equal. Choosing the right logistics partner makes the difference between a smooth delivery and a damage claim.

What Makes a Great Copier Shipping Company?

Copier-Specific Expertise:

• Technicians trained in drum locking, toner securing, and anti-static packaging

• Experience with all major brands (Xerox, Ricoh, Canon, Konica Minolta, HP, Sharp)

Nationwide Coverage:

• Service across all 50 states

• Local pickup and delivery in multiple markets

Condition Documentation:

• Photo documentation at pickup and delivery

• Condition reports for lease returns

• Serial number verification

Service Levels:

• Standard freight (affordable)

• Inside delivery

• White glove with installation (premium)

Types of Providers

Specialized Copier Logistics Companies

Exist specifically to ship copiers and office equipment.

• Lowest damage rates in the industry

• Condition documentation standard

• White glove and installation available

• Dealer program pricing

Example: ClearPath Logistics — 175,000+ copiers shipped since 2003, all 50 states

National LTL Carriers

XPO, Estes, Old Dominion, Saia. Wide networks, competitive rates — but no copier-specific handling or documentation.

Best for: Lower-value copiers, short distances, with proper crating

Parcel Carriers (UPS, FedEx)

Limited to 150 lbs. Automated sorting = high damage risk. Only for: Small desktop printers under 50 lbs with original packaging.

Red Flags to Watch For

• No mention of copier-specific packaging or drum handling

• No condition documentation at pickup

• Refuses to declare full replacement value

• No physical presence (pure broker model)

Bottom Line

For most businesses and dealers in 2025, a specialized copier logistics company offers the best combination of safety, service, and value. The premium over generic freight is typically 20–40% — and the damage rate reduction is far greater.
