Shipping rates for Shopify stores
Shipping rates for Shopify stores get confused with Shopify's own shipping labels. Those are a real product, and for some stores they are the right price. They are not the only UPS and FedEx price a store can buy. The Shipping Savers is an account rate on UPS and FedEx. You keep Shopify for the catalog, the cart, and the order.
There is no monthly fee from us and no minimum order count. The fee is one cent per label, already in the price you are shown.
Shopify Shipping versus an account rate
| Question | What to compare |
|---|---|
| What is the label? | Same UPS or FedEx service, same box, same addresses |
| Where is the order? | It can stay in Shopify either way |
| Where is the label bought? | Shopify's label flow, ShipStation, or another tool you already use |
| What must match? | Service, weight, dimensions, residential flag, and zone |
| Our charge | 1 cent per label, included. No monthly fee |
Setup, without a fictional app store click
We do not describe a one-click Shopify app we do not ship. The practical setup is: send the invoice, confirm the rate is lower on your real orders, then buy labels in the tool the warehouse already trusts. For many Shopify stores that tool is ShipStation. The add-on puts the price on the ShipStation order, including third-party billing. Details are on the ShipStation page.
If you only ever buy labels inside Shopify, say that when you write. The comparison is still valid. The printing step is a separate decision from the price.
A fair Shopify comparison
Export the orders, not a Shopify analytics average. We need destination ZIP, the service name Shopify or ShipStation stored, the weight and box you passed to the carrier, and the amount you paid.
Shopify's own labels and an account label can both be UPS. The logo on the tracking page does not tell you which rate table you bought. The invoice does.
Checkout display is a second project. Many stores show customers a flat rate or free shipping over a threshold, and the label cost is the store's problem. We price the label. We do not rebuild your free-shipping threshold unless you ask.
If the team already prints in ShipStation, that is the screen where our price shows up, including third-party billing. If the team prints only inside Shopify, say that. We will not pretend a button exists in Shopify admin that we have not shipped.
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 replace Shopify?
No. Shopify remains the store. We are a rate on the UPS or FedEx label, not a new checkout platform.
Will the rate appear inside Shopify checkout automatically?
Not as a promise. Checkout display depends on how you buy labels today. If the team prints in ShipStation, our add-on shows the price on that order. If you buy Shopify's own labels, that is a different rate source and we compare it from the invoice.
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.
