Two pages, one problem
Large and oversized shipping splits into the carton that is still a parcel and the shipment that should be a pallet. The parcel page is oversized package rates. The weight-first page is heavy packages. Freight is LTL.
Bring the longest side, the girth, and the scale weight. Those three numbers decide the fee family. A discount conversation that starts without them is guessing.
Bring three numbers
Longest side, girth, scale weight. Without those, an oversized conversation is a guess. With those, we can see additional handling, large-package fees, and whether the piece is still a parcel.
Use the oversized rates page for the fee logic and the heavy package page when weight, not length, is the trigger.
LTL enters when the parcel fees or the size limits say so. One address, many cartons, is the usual moment.
A discount on transportation that leaves a $0 handling line in the quote is an incomplete quote. Ask for the handling line.
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 oversized the same as freight?
Not yet. Oversized usually still means a UPS or FedEx carton that has tripped a size fee. Freight is a pallet. We compare them when the dimensions say to.
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.
