Easyship is a shipping platform that compares courier rates, calculates import taxes and duties, and generates shipping labels from one dashboard. For a social enterprise selling physical products, whether handcrafted goods, agricultural products, or fair-trade items, it removes a lot of the manual work of figuring out the cheapest reliable courier for each destination country.
Key features
- Rate comparison across multiple couriers so each shipment can go with the cheapest reliable option for its destination.
- Automatic import tax and duty calculation, which reduces surprise costs and customs delays for cross-border orders.
- Free plan available for lower shipment volumes, with paid tiers unlocking higher limits and features as volume grows.
- Order sync with common e-commerce platforms so shipments don’t need to be entered manually.
- Smart box selection to help estimate the right packaging size and reduce dimensional weight charges.
Pricing
Easyship is free to use for organizations under a certain monthly shipment volume, with discounted courier rates available even on the free tier. Paid plans (Plus and Premier) unlock higher shipment limits, checkout-based shipping rate display, live chat or phone support, and features like multi-box shipping, with pricing that scales by shipment volume rather than a single flat rate. An Enterprise tier with custom pricing and a fulfillment network add-on is available for larger operations. Confirm current tier thresholds directly with Easyship since limits are adjusted periodically.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Free tier makes it accessible for a small social enterprise just starting to ship products | Volume-based pricing means costs are less predictable than a flat monthly subscription |
| Automatic duty and tax calculation reduces customs surprises on international orders | Some features (checkout rate display, phone support) are locked behind paid tiers |
| Discounted courier rates can meaningfully lower per-shipment cost versus booking directly | Best value shows up at higher shipment volumes; very low-volume shippers may not see much benefit over their courier’s own tools |
Who it’s for
Social enterprises and impact-driven brands shipping physical products, especially across borders, that want to compare courier rates and avoid manual customs calculations.
Who should skip it
Organizations shipping only domestically at very low volume, where a single courier’s own shipping tools may already be simple and cheap enough without adding another platform.
How to get started
Start on the free plan, connect your store or marketplace, and compare the discounted rates against what you currently pay before considering a paid tier.
FAQ
Does Easyship work for shipping from countries outside the US and Europe?
Easyship supports shipping from a wide range of countries, but courier availability and rates vary by origin location, so confirm coverage for your specific country before relying on it.
Will using Easyship change what customers pay at checkout?
Depending on the plan and integration, Easyship can display accurate shipping and duty costs at checkout, which tends to reduce abandoned international orders caused by surprise fees.
