Seafood overnight is a cooler plus a cutoff
Overnight seafood shipping fails in two boring ways. The cooler is big for its weight, so the billed weight is the dimensional one. Or the label is bought after the cutoff, so 'next day' is the day after and the ice is wrong. The Shipping Savers prices UPS Next Day Air and FedEx Priority Overnight for the cooler you tender.
We do not publish a per-pound seafood tariff. A 10 lb cube from New York to Los Angeles at $16.78 is a real UPS overnight label on this site, and it is not a fish box. Send the fish box.
What the seafood invoice should show
- Service: Next Day Air or Priority Overnight, plus Saturday if you sell it.
- Outer dimensions of the cooler, not the fillet weight.
- Gel versus dry ice. Dry-ice rules stay with the carrier. See dry ice.
- Origin ZIP. A dock in Maine and a dock in Los Angeles are different zones to the same customer.
Seafood overnight, in the rows
Cooler dimensions, not the packed fish weight, decide a lot of these bills. Put the outer inches in the file.
Gel and dry ice stay in separate groups. Dry ice has to be declared and vented under the current carrier rules.
If the plant is in a different ZIP from the office, the plant ZIP is the origin.
Saturday fish to a restaurant is a different product from Monday fish. Mark it.
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
Is overnight seafood different from other overnight?
The service name is the same. The carton is usually a cooler, so dimensional weight and the pickup cutoff matter more than they do for a small parts box.
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.
