Frozen meat is weight plus coolant
Frozen meat shipping is heavy, and the coolant adds more weight or more cube. Dry ice has carrier rules. Gel packs have a shorter clock. The Shipping Savers prices the UPS or FedEx service that matches the clock you have actually tested.
A lower ground rate is not a frozen-meat offer. If the product is frozen and the customer expects it frozen, the comparison stays on overnight or on a 2-day service you have proven.
Rows worth separating
- Steaks and small boxes versus cases. They do not share dimensional weight.
- Summer versus winter, if you have both invoices.
- Dry ice shipments, with the declared weight the carrier required.
- Residential gift orders versus a restaurant dock.
Frozen meat rows
Scale weight includes the ice you actually put in, not a planned amount you sometimes skip.
A summer invoice and a January invoice are both useful. One of them will understate the coolant.
Gift boxes to houses pick up residential fees that a steak club shipped to a store might not.
If you have not opened a 2-day test box on arrival, do not ask the comparison to assume it arrived frozen.
How it works
- Send a recent UPS or FedEx invoice, or a shipment export with ZIP codes, service, weight, dimensions and charges.
- We compare the same packages and the same service. The price you see is the label price.
- If the numbers work, you ship with UPS or FedEx on our account. Our fee is one cent per label, already included. There is no monthly fee and no contract.
What you pay us
The Shipping Savers fee is $0.01 per purchased label. It is already inside the price on the label. We do not add a monthly membership. Carrier charges, residential fees, fuel, delivery-area fees and other accessorials are part of that label price, not a second bill from us. Read the pricing page for the full explanation.
The only published before-and-after figure on this site is one real shipment: a 10 lb UPS Next Day Air package, 10 × 10 × 10 inches, New York to Los Angeles. It was $35.75 before and $16.78 with The Shipping Savers. That is not a rate for your lane. Your price comes from your own file.
Shopify and ShipStation
You can keep the software you already use to take orders. Shopify stays the store. ShipStation can stay the place where the team buys labels. On ShipStation, our Chrome add-on shows the rate next to the order, including when the order uses third-party billing. See discounted rates inside ShipStation and Shopify shipping rates.
Questions
Can frozen meat go 2-day?
Only if you have tested the coolant for that lane and that season. Otherwise price overnight.
Is there a contract, monthly fee, or minimum volume?
No contract, no monthly fee, and no minimums. The only fee from The Shipping Savers is one cent per label, and it is already included in the price you see.
Do the packages still ship with UPS and FedEx?
Yes. The same UPS and FedEx services, drivers, and tracking. What changes is the account the label is priced on.
How do I get a real price?
Send a recent invoice or a shipment export. We price your packages. We do not publish a table of sample lanes, because a lane that is not yours is not your price.
