Seafood rates start with the cooler
Seafood shipping rates are cooler rates. The fish weight is not the billed weight if the box is a foam shipper. Dimensional weight, gel or dry ice, and the overnight service are the invoice. The Shipping Savers prices UPS and FedEx for that shipment. No contract and no monthly fee.
If the product is specifically next-day, use overnight seafood shipping. This page is the wider one: markets, plants, and mixed fresh orders.
Separate these before you average
- Overnight gift boxes versus wholesale cases.
- Gel-pack lanes versus dry-ice lanes.
- Origins. Maine, the Gulf, and the West Coast do not share zones.
- Saturday delivery, if it is part of the offer.
Plants, markets, and gift boxes
A market shipping a gift box and a plant shipping a wholesale case should not be averaged, even if both sell fish.
Origin ZIP is the dock, not the sales office.
Overnight detail lives on the overnight seafood page. Use this page if the file is mixed.
Live product, if you ship it, needs to be called out. The handling rules are stricter than a chilled fillet, and the service has to match them.
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
Do you ship live seafood?
We price the UPS or FedEx service. Live product has its own handling rules and its own pack. Tell us the service you buy today and the carton you tender.
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.
