Why ShipEasy

One price, and one reason it can change.

Four things usually go wrong when you move a pallet: the price changes after the fact, the delivery service is quoted back to you later, you need your own carrier contracts, and you pay a subscription to find out.

The alternatives

What you’re probably using now.

There are four things you could be doing instead, and each breaks in its own way.

  • What you want
  • Depends on the tool
  • What you don’t
  • Doesn’t apply

We are not trying to replace your parcel app — keep it for anything under 150 lb. See what we do and don’t quote.

What’s different

Enforced in the software.

  • The quoted number is the billed number

    No second invoice arrives from us. Accessorials are already inside the rate you were shown. Before the freight moves we re-rate the lane twice: once when you start the booking, once immediately before we tender. A difference of one cent stops the booking rather than adjusting your charge.

    The one thing that can move the number afterwards is the carrier’s own measurement. If it reweighs, remeasures or reclassifies the freight against what was declared, the charge is adjusted either way within 60 days on the payment method on file. You are told, and you have 30 days to dispute it. That is Terms § 8.3.

  • Quotes you can compare

    Two quotes are only comparable if they were built the same way. We normalize transit before you see it and rank on the all-in price you would pay, so the cheaper row is the cheaper bill.

  • Delivery service comes back as a price

    Curbside, room of choice and white glove arrive as rates on the quote, priced from the carriers’ own accessorial tables. The charges that depend on the shipment — an oversize piece, a weekend pickup, a metro delivery — are applied for you.

  • You stay the brand your customer bought from

    The tracking page we generate for a consignee is forwardable, needs no login, and never mentions ShipEasy. A broker portal puts its own name on that page instead.

More

Also standard on every account.

  • No carrier accounts, no commitment

    We are the licensed broker (FMCSA MC‑1483730) and the carrier contracts are ours, so you open no accounts and commit to no volume.

  • Free to quote

    Quoting is free and unlimited, there is no subscription and no per-seat charge. You pay once per Bill of Lading, on the number you already saw.

  • Two ways in, one support desk

    A Shopify app for order-driven freight and a browser portal for reps quoting live, on one carrier network. Support cases from both land in the same queue.

  • Built for a team

    A shared SKU catalog so nobody retypes dimensions, roles and invites, saved consignees, and every booking shown next to the name of whoever made it. Companies that trade under more than one entity switch between them without a second password.

  • Security and data protection

    Personal data encrypted at rest with AES‑256‑GCM, optional two-factor sign-in with recovery codes, self-serve data export, and a published DPA, AUP and Shipper Services Agreement.

  • Recovery when a tender fails

    A failed tender is re-tendered at the price you already paid, and never turned into a double booking. A carrier that stops behaving can be pulled from rotation the same day.

Straight answers

Where we’re the wrong choice.

You ship parcel Keep your parcel app

We print no UPS, FedEx or USPS labels. Anything under 150 lb belongs in your parcel app.

You need rates at checkout Not available

ShipEasy quotes from the order after it’s placed, not live in the Shopify checkout.

You ship outside the lower 48 Not yet

Contiguous 48 states plus DC, in USD. Alaska, Hawaii and international are on the roadmap.

You want your own carrier rates Not supported

We rate on our contracts across three networks. If you already have your own carrier contracts, a bring-your-own-carrier tool will serve you better.
