Discover your shipping personality and what the stars say about your delivery style
Ever wondered why some people obsess over tracking numbers like they’re stock prices, while others treat shipping like an extreme sport? Blame it on the stars! At Univar Logistics, we move millions of packages every year, and we’ve noticed patterns in how our clients handle shipping. So, we decided to have a little fun and map the 12 zodiac signs to shipping habits.
Whether you’re a last-minute dasher or a meticulous planner, there’s a cosmic reason for your logistics personality. Buckle up (or secure your cargo) — here’s your shipping sign decoded.
“I needed it yesterday!”

Aries, you’re the ram charging headfirst into everything — including checkout. You order something on a whim at 11 PM and select “next-day delivery” without blinking. Why wait when you can have it tomorrow? Your tracking app is refreshed more times than your social media feed, and that “guaranteed by noon” option? You invented it in spirit.
Your shipping style: Everything is urgent. EVERYTHING. Whether it’s critical business inventory or a phone case you suddenly “need,” it’s getting expedited shipping. You’ve never met a rush fee you didn’t immediately pay.
What drives you: Speed equals success. In your world, fast shipping isn’t a luxury — it’s your competitive advantage. Your customers expect it because you’ve set the standard, and you’re not about to let them down.
At Univar Logistics, we love your energy — just remember, even rams need to pace themselves to avoid those pesky expedited fees piling up! We’ve got express options that match your fire, without burning through your budget.
Pro tip: Book your regular shipments in advance and save those premium rates for true emergencies. Your accountant will thank you.
“It’ll get there when it gets there”
Steadfast Taurus, you value quality and sustainability above all. You’ll choose the slowest, cheapest ground shipping because you’re not in a rush — and you appreciate the cost savings. Bonus points if it includes free shipping over $50; you’re a master at adding just one more item to hit that threshold.
Your shipping style: Patient, practical, and thoroughly researched. You wait until you have enough orders to justify consolidated shipping. Your packages arrive perfectly intact because you double-check those “fragile” labels and ensure proper packaging every single time.
What drives you: Building something to last. You’re not chasing trends or viral moments; you’re creating sustainable business practices. You know that reliable, consistent shipping builds customer trust better than flashy overnight promises you can’t always keep.
Your wisdom: You understand that the cheapest option isn’t always the best, but the most expensive isn’t necessarily better either. You’re looking for that sweet spot — and you’ll take your time finding it.
We salute your patience; it’s the backbone of efficient logistics! Your thoughtful approach keeps costs down and quality up, which is exactly how smart businesses operate.
“I’m selling everywhere!”

Gemini, your dual nature shines bright in the shipping world. Standard? Expedited? Two-day? You toggle between options like a pro, reading reviews on every carrier. You’ve got Shopify orders, Amazon FBA, Etsy shipments, and eBay packages all happening simultaneously, and somehow you keep track of them all.
Your shipping style: One minute you’re team economy, the next you’re upgrading for faster arrival. Your shipping history looks like a split personality: half rushed, half on the slow boat. You’re selling across multiple platforms because you know you need to meet customers where they are.
What drives you: Versatility. You refuse to put all your eggs in one basket — or all your packages with one carrier. This diversity protects your business and gives you flexibility when one channel slows down.
Univar Logistics tip: Pick one reliable logistics partner who can handle your beautiful chaos across all channels. We’ve got integrated solutions for omnichannel entrepreneurs like you — no more juggling five different carrier accounts!
Your superpower: Adaptability. When one platform changes their shipping requirements, you’ve already got three backup plans.
“But what if it breaks?”
Sentimental Cancer, you treat every shipment like it’s carrying family heirlooms. Bubble wrap for days. “Fragile” stickers on everything — even the unbreakable stuff. Insurance on every single package, regardless of value. Your products aren’t just inventory; they’re your babies.
Your shipping style: Triple-wrapped, fully insured, obsessively tracked. You check tracking updates constantly, worrying about rain, bumps, or rogue delivery drivers. When packages arrive at their destination, you practically hold your breath until the customer confirms everything is perfect.
What drives you: Care and connection. Whether you’re shipping handmade crafts, vintage finds, or delicate artworks, each item represents your reputation and your relationship with customers. Your incredibly low damage rate proves your approach works.
Receiving a package yourself? You inspect it like a crime scene investigator, documenting any potential issues before even opening it.
Your care keeps our claims department light — seriously, thanks for the love! Your attention to detail means happy customers and fewer headaches all around. That unboxing experience you create? Chef’s kiss.
“Presentation is EVERYTHING”
Leo, you demand the royal treatment — and you deliver it to your customers. Signature required? Absolutely. Premium packaging with branded tape? Yes, please. Custom boxes that make people stop and stare? Obviously. You want your deliveries to make an entrance.
Your shipping style: Every package is a production. You’ve invested in custom packaging, your shipping notifications are beautifully branded, and you believe the unboxing experience matters almost as much as the product itself. Your customers share unboxing videos because your presentation is that good.
What drives you: Brand experience. You understand that every touchpoint — including that delivery box — is marketing. You’re not just shipping products; you’re delivering an experience that people remember and share.

Tracking updates are shared on your stories: “The magic is on its way! ✨👑” You’ve turned shipping into content, and honestly? It works.
We adore your flair — it makes logistics feel glamorous! Your commitment to premium service means you need carriers who won’t let you down, because delayed packages ruin the whole experience.
Pro tip: Premium doesn’t always mean most expensive. Let us show you how to deliver that VIP experience efficiently.
“Let me check my metrics”
Detail-oriented Virgo, your shipping game is elite. You have a color-coded spreadsheet logging order dates, tracking numbers, carrier performance, estimated arrivals, actual deliveries, and customer feedback. You know your shipping costs down to the cent and your average delivery times by region.
Your shipping style: Data-driven, optimized, and consistently excellent. Any delay? You’re on chat support in seconds, politely citing carrier policies and requesting updates. You choose carriers based on on-time stats, damage rates, and eco-friendly options — because you’ve researched them all.
What drives you: Efficiency and excellence. You track everything because you can’t improve what you don’t measure. Your shipping strategy is a well-oiled machine, and you’re constantly tweaking it to make it even better.
Your competitive edge: While others guess, you know exactly what your shipping costs per order, average delivery time, and customer satisfaction scores.
Univar Logistics dreams are made of Virgos like you — precision personified! You’re the customer who makes us better because you notice when we improve delivery times by half a day, and you appreciate it.
What you need: Detailed reporting, analytics access, and consistent performance. We’ve got all three.
“Is there a better rate?”

Charming Libra, harmony is key — even in shipping. You’ll spend considerable time finding the perfect balance: fast enough but not too expensive, reliable but eco-conscious, quality service at a fair price. Free shipping thresholds are your best friend; you’ll strategically add (and remove) items to hit exactly that sweet spot.
Your shipping style: Diplomatic and strategic. You believe in win-win relationships and fair pricing. You’re not cheap — you’re smart. You know your shipping volume gives you leverage, and you’re not afraid to ask for what you deserve.
What drives you: Balance and fairness. You want good service at reasonable rates, and you’re willing to negotiate to find that equilibrium. You’ve probably got accounts with multiple carriers “just to compare.”
Indecisive? Maybe, but your packages always arrive on time and on budget. You’ve mastered the art of getting quality service without overpaying.
Your negotiation style: Friendly but firm. You’re building relationships, but you also have a bottom line to protect. We respect that.
What you need from Univar: Competitive pricing, transparent rate structures, and a partner willing to grow with you as your volume increases.
“I have a plan”
Intense Scorpio, you love discreet deliveries and strategic operations. No-signature options, plain packaging, and drop-offs at lockers or neighbors. But beneath that mysterious exterior lies a mastermind — you’ve architected an entire supply chain strategy that would impress an MBA program.
Your shipping style: Strategic and secretive. Maybe you’re dropshipping internationally, building a hybrid fulfillment model, or optimizing cross-border logistics. You understand the mechanics behind the logistics, and you’re thinking three moves ahead.
What drives you: Competitive advantage. You see logistics as a strategic asset, not just a necessary expense. While competitors focus only on products, you’re winning on operations and efficiency.
Tracking? You check it incognito. Gifts? Wrapped in layers of secrecy. Your shipments are like spy missions — top secret until the big reveal.
We respect the intrigue; it keeps things exciting! You ask questions that make logistics professionals think, and we love the challenge.
What you need: Deep expertise, creative solutions, international capabilities, and a partner who can keep up with your vision.
“Will you ship to…?”
Optimistic Sag, you’re all about global hauls! Importing from halfway around the world? No problem! International shipping doesn’t scare you — it excites you. You thrive on customs forms, duty calculations, and those epic “shipped from overseas” timelines.
Your shipping style: Adventurous and worldly. Your customer base spans continents, and you’re thrilled every time someone from a new country places an order. Delays due to storms or port congestion? Just part of the adventure! Your packages (and passport) have more stamps than most people’s lifetime collection.
What drives you: Global opportunity. You see a worldwide marketplace and refuse to let geography limit your business. You’ve dealt with customs forms in languages you don’t speak and loved every minute.
Your stories: That time you shipped to a remote island, the customer in New Zealand who became your biggest fan, and the creative solution you found for navigating international duties and taxes.
We love your explorer spirit! Your willingness to tackle challenging destinations opens up markets others are too intimidated to serve.
What you need: International expertise, customs support, reliable cross-border tracking, and a partner who doesn’t blink when you ask about shipping to unusual locations.
“Q4 is already booked”
Ambitious Capricorn, you’re the CEO of shipping. Pallets, freight, LTL, FCL — you speak the language fluently. You negotiate rates, optimize routes, and schedule pickups like the boss you are. You’re ordering holiday inventory in July because you learned early that planning prevents panic.

Your shipping style: Professional, strategic, and always prepared. Personal packages? Consolidated into one efficient shipment. You’ve got long-term carrier contracts, established routes, and zero surprises. Your supply chain runs like a Swiss watch.
What drives you: Systems and reliability. Your business runs on schedules and strategic thinking. Surprises are for birthdays, not logistics. On-time delivery isn’t a goal — it’s a non-negotiable requirement.
Why you succeed: While others are panicking about holiday shipping in November, you’re sipping coffee and watching your well-laid plans unfold perfectly.
We salute your discipline! Your approach to logistics is what separates successful businesses from struggling ones.
What you need: Reliability, advance booking options, consistent service during peak seasons, and a partner who takes your timeline as seriously as you do.
“What if we tried…?”
Visionary Aquarius, you’re ahead of the curve with carbon-neutral shipping, sustainable packaging dreams, and reusable materials. You research eco-friendly carriers and choose options that align with your values — even if they cost more or take longer. Delays for green routes? Worth it for the planet.
Your shipping style: Innovative and principled. You’re always looking for the next breakthrough — maybe you were early to electric vehicle fleets, you’re experimenting with biodegradable packaging, or you’re researching blockchain for supply chain transparency.
What drives you: Innovation and sustainability. You see where the industry is going before it gets there, and you want your logistics to reflect your forward-thinking values. Your business model might not fit traditional categories, and that’s exactly how you like it.
Your habits inspire us at Univar Logistics to innovate! Customers like you push the entire industry toward better, more sustainable practices.
What you need: Flexibility, openness to new approaches, sustainable options, and a logistics partner who won’t say “we’ve never done it that way” when you propose something creative.
“I just want to focus on my craft”
Imaginative Pisces, you order on impulse during late-night creative sessions, then forget about it — until the surprise arrival feels like magic! Honestly, you’d rather be creating than dealing with shipping logistics. Your passion is your product — the art, the design, the craft.
Your shipping style: Intuitive and relaxed. Tracking? Too stressful; you trust the universe (and carriers) to handle it. Lost packages? You shrug and reorder. You go with the flow and maintain an inexplicable faith that everything will work out — and somehow, it usually does.
What drives you: Your art and creativity. You started this business because you love what you make, and logistics is… well, it’s necessary. You appreciate partners who make complex things simple.
Your faith in the universe is refreshingly chill, and honestly? Your customers love the laid-back, artistic vibe you bring to everything, including how you communicate about shipping.
What you need: Easy-to-use systems, excellent customer service (because you’ll have questions), straightforward solutions, and someone who can handle the details while you focus on creating.
Your ideal situation: A logistics partner who feels like an extension of your team, managing the shipping side while you do what you do best — create.

Warning signs you’re spiraling into shipping chaos:
The cure? Partner with Univar Logistics and let us handle the obsessing while you focus on growing your business!
Whether you’re a fiery Aries who needs express overnight service, a patient Taurus who loves consolidated freight savings, a meticulous Virgo who demands detailed analytics, or a creative Pisces who just wants shipping to be simple — there’s a cosmic reason for your approach, and there’s a Univar solution perfectly aligned with it.
At Univar Logistics, we’ve worked with every shipping personality under the stars. We’ve supported Aries entrepreneurs during viral product launches, helped Taurus builders find sustainable long-term solutions, enabled Gemini sellers to streamline their multi-channel chaos, given Cancer crafters peace of mind with premium handling, and provided Pisces artists with simple systems so they can focus on their craft.
The beauty of logistics is that there’s no single “right” way — only the right way for YOUR business. The data-driven approach of the Virgo isn’t better than the intuitive style of the Pisces; they’re just different. The speed obsession of the Aries isn’t superior to the patient planning of the Capricorn; they serve different business needs.
What matters is finding a logistics partner who understands YOUR style, respects YOUR priorities, and can adapt to YOUR needs. Whether you’re shipping locally or globally, moving 10 packages a month or 10,000, running a side hustle or scaling an empire — your approach to shipping is valid, and we’re here to support it.
So check your tracking numbers, consult your shipping strategy, and remember: the stars might guide you, but logistics delivers you. And no matter what your sign, Univar Logistics is here to make sure your products reach their destination — whether that’s across town or across the world, lightning-fast or thoughtfully consolidated, with premium packaging or straightforward efficiency.
