Easyship

Easyship transforms global shipping for businesses of all sizes, handling millions of parcels annually through its intuitive platform. From single shipments to bulk order processing, the software automates the complexities of international shipping, comparing rates across 550+ carriers including UPS, FedEx, and DHL.

Easyship's Global Shipping Solutions

To facilitate global shipping, Easyship handles millions of parcels annually (Capterra, Shopify, G2, and multiple verified users).

The platform offers three shipment creation methods:

Single Shipment: Ideal for new users, this method allows direct dashboard entry.

File Upload: Suited for bulk orders, merchants upload Excel files containing shipment details.

Store Integration: Connects directly to e-commerce platforms for automated order syncing.

Easyship enables real-time comparison across 550+ shipping solutions from top carriers including UPS, FedEx, and DHL (document summary).

The platform's automated shipping rate calculation considers both declared weight and volumetric weight factors (document summary). Volumetric weight accounts for package size, with larger but lighter items charged based on space occupied rather than physical weight.

With support for over 250 couriers through pre-negotiated rates, merchants gain access to low-cost shipping options while maintaining control over their existing accounts (document summary).

International shipping documents are generated automatically, including shipping labels and commercial invoices based on HS code, category, and destination country requirements (document summary).

Merchants can access comprehensive courier information, including delivery times, tracking event frequency, insurance details, and number of delivery attempts for each carrier option (document summary).

Shipping Methods & Rate Comparison

The platform offers three primary methods for creating shipments: Single Shipment, File Upload, and Store Integration. Each method is designed to address specific needs, whether you're a new user, managing bulk orders, or connecting to your e-commerce store.

Using the platform is straightforward - simply select the method that best suits your current needs. For single shipments, just fill out the details on the dashboard and request courier pickup. If you're handling a large number of orders, upload an Excel file containing your shipment data. And for automated order syncing, connect your store in just a few clicks.

When comparing shipping options, you'll get real-time information from over 550 couriers, including UPS, FedEx, DHL, and many others. This comparison takes into account delivery times, tracking event frequency, insurance details, and the number of delivery attempts for each carrier.

The platform's shipping rate calculator uses declared weight and volumetric weight calculations to determine costs. Volumetric weight is particularly important for larger but lighter items, as carriers typically price services based on the space the package occupies rather than just its physical weight.

For US-to-US shipping, the platform offers three primary options: Cheapest (USPS - Ground Advantage), Best Value (USPS - Priority Mail), and Fastest (UPS Next Day Air® Early). All rates are calculated based on a declared weight of 0.5 lbs, though courier services will charge based on either weight or size, whichever is greater. This approach ensures accurate pricing and helps merchants avoid unexpected costs.

Easyship's strength lies in its comprehensive support for multiple shipping scenarios, from small businesses to large-scale operations. The company's flexible subscription model, combined with its extensive carrier network and automated processes, makes it a compelling choice for merchants of all sizes.

Store Integrations & Pre-negotiated Rates

Easyship's store integration capabilities simplify shipping management through automated order syncing, allowing merchants to transfer tracking numbers, update fulfillment statuses, and provide dynamic rates at checkout with minimal effort.

The platform's courier integration structure enables merchants to maintain their existing carrier accounts while accessing additional services through the Easyship system. Each supported integration appears on the company's official integrations page, allowing users to choose the configuration that best suits their needs.

For merchants not already using specific couriers, Easyship offers direct access to over 250 carrier accounts through its ecosystem. This extensive network allows users to connect an unlimited number of stores without additional costs, as long as their monthly shipment volume remains below 50 orders.

Shipping Cost Calculator

The shipping cost calculator uses declared weight and volumetric weight calculations to determine costs. Volumetric weight is particularly important for larger but lighter items, as carriers typically price services based on the space the package occupies rather than just its physical weight.

Shipping rates are calculated based on a declared weight of 0.5 lbs. However, the actual cost will be determined by whichever factor - weight or size - results in a higher charge from the carrier. Courier services typically price based on package weight, but use the greater value between weight and size when making their calculations.

The platform offers three primary shipping options within the United States:

Cheapest: USPS - Ground Advantage (5-5 working days, 4.0/5 stars, $5.79)

Best Value: USPS - Priority Mail (1-3 working days, 3.5/5 stars, $8.17)

Fastest: UPS Next Day Air® Early (3-3 working days, 4.5/5 stars, $13.03)

These rates are based on the declared weight of 0.5 lbs, charging the higher of either the declared weight or the volume-based weight. For example, a small but heavy item like a battery might be charged based on its actual weight, while a large, lightweight box would be based on its dimensions.

Easyship's calculator provides accurate real-time quotes from all global and domestic couriers, eliminating the need for manual research. The tool considers multiple factors beyond just weight, including parcel dimensions, insurance needs, and specific service requirements. This comprehensive approach helps businesses avoid unexpected costs and ensure accurate shipping quotes.

Pricing & Subscription Details

Easyship operates on a straightforward monthly subscription billing cycle, with charges applying on the first day of each subsequent billing cycle following a 14-day free trial period. Subscription tiers include basic, Plus, and Premier plans, each offering increasing levels of service features.

The platform implements a cost structure without hidden fees, wherein monthly expenses total subscription plan fees, postage costs, and insurance premiums. For Plus and Premier users, an additional 20% discount applies to annual subscription plans, with manual control over auto-renewal options during the final month of the commitment period.

Special arrangements exist for crowdfunding projects, where Easyship waives subscription fees until all project backers have been shipped. After this initial phase, businesses can transition to the appropriate subscription plan without additional charges. This feature particularly benefits smaller businesses and individuals managing one-time or limited campaign shipping needs.
