Getting Discounts with Shippo

We offer discounted rates with USPS, UPS, and FedEx for domestic and international shipping, and with DHL Express for international shipments originating in the United States. These discounts are automatically active on every Shippo account.

  • USPS — Domestic and international shipping from the United States.
  • UPS — Domestic and international shipping originating in the United States.
  • FedEx — FedEx Ground Economy and FedEx International Connect Plus (FICP).
  • DHL Express — International shipments originating in the United States.

This guide covers how to get the most value out of your Shippo account, plus a few tips for finding the best shipping rates.


Applying discounts in your Shippo account

From the Carriers tab, you can access special UPS discounts and add your own carrier accounts. To get there:

  • Click the Settings icon from your Shippo dashboard.
  • Click Carriers in the navigation panel on the left.
  Tip: Shippo will automatically connect discounts (if available) to your carrier accounts once you’ve added them in the “Carriers” tab.

International discounts

You can ship from anywhere in the world with Shippo.

To ship from outside the United States, connect your own carrier account on the Carriers page in Shippo. We don't offer discounted carrier accounts outside the U.S., so the rates you see for your own carrier account reflect whatever you negotiated directly with that carrier.


High-volume shippers

If you're shipping more than 10,000 packages a month, get in touch with our Enterprise Solutions team to talk pricing and shipping solutions built for your brand.
