ShipFlag
Why This is an Opportunity
International shipping is a minefield for small brands and the info is scattered across forums, carrier sites, and hard-won experience. This is a simple CRUD app with a gorgeous map UI — fun to build and immediately valuable to any DTC brand doing cross-border sales.
Key Pain Points
- •You start shipping to Brazil, learn about their customs nightmare the hard way, and eat $400 in returns
- •Your shipping knowledge lives in one person's head and when they're out, nobody knows which carriers to use for which countries
- •You Google 'shipping to [country] reviews' and get SEO spam from logistics companies, not real seller experiences
- •Every new market is a gamble because there's no centralized place to track what actually works
Original Discovery
Small e-commerce brands that ship internationally have no idea which countries are actually worth selling to until they get burned by customs fees, lost packages, or insane shipping costs. ShipFlag is a visual dashboard where you tag each country as green/yellow/red based on your actual shipping experiences, add notes like "customs held for 3 weeks" or "DHL only," and share it with your ops team. Think of it as a battle-tested shipping reputation map built from real seller pain.
