The price is the lane, not the city slogan
Shipping rates by state are a zone problem. A package from Dallas to Houston is not a package from Dallas to Seattle, and neither one becomes cheaper because a web page says the city name. UPS and FedEx price origin ZIP, destination ZIP, service, weight, dimensions, and whether the address is a home.
The Shipping Savers prices those inputs for businesses anywhere in the United States. We are based in Los Angeles. There is no contract, no monthly fee, and no minimum. The one-cent fee is inside the label.
What actually changes from one origin to another
| Factor | What it does to the label |
|---|---|
| Zone | Distance from origin ZIP to destination ZIP. This is the transportation charge. |
| Service | Ground, 2-day, or overnight. A different promise, not a different city. |
| Residential | Homes add a fee that a business dock does not. |
| Delivery area | Some ZIP codes add a surcharge. It is on the invoice, not in the city nickname. |
| Pickup | Your local cutoff decides whether overnight is tomorrow. |
From any of these origins, the file looks the same
Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, and the state files for Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Texas used to be separate pages. They said the same thing with a city swapped in. That does not change a zone.
If you ship from one of those places, send the origin ZIP. Hawaii and Alaska rows should be marked, because they do not behave like a nearby continental zone.
Local pickup cutoffs differ. A national overnight price that ignores your cutoff will miss. Tell us the pickup.
The service you need is still ground, 2-day, overnight, perishable, or oversized. Those pages are linked above. The city was never the service.
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 only ship from Los Angeles?
No. We are based in Los Angeles. The labels are UPS and FedEx pickups from the business address on the shipment.
Why is there one page instead of a page per city?
A city page that only swaps the city name does not change the rate. Zone, weight, dimensions, and service do. Those are on this page.
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.
