Overview
EasyPost is a shipping API company that describes itself as having launched in 2012 as the first RESTful API for shipping, and says it works with tens of thousands of businesses that have shipped billions of packages through it[10]. It sells primarily to developers, platforms and enterprises building label purchase, rating, tracking and address verification into their own software rather than to warehouse staff using a web interface.
Its carrier network covers USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express and GOFO among more than 100 carriers[10][9]. The core EasyPost Suite covers labels, rate shopping, address verification, tracking and insurance; EasyPost Nexus adds a Shopify connection, order import and label printing in one place; and higher products include EasyPost Pro, the white-label Forge platform and Luma, an AI-driven insights and rate-selection product[9].
Pricing is usage-based. Access is free with EasyPost’s wallet carriers and up to 3,000 labels a month are free of platform fees (postage excluded); bringing one’s own carrier accounts costs US$20 a month plus a per-label fee; and tracking, advanced tracking and insurance are billed per shipment[9]. The pricing page does not publish the per-label fee charged beyond the free allowance or the price of Pro, Forge and Luma, which limits comparison. The product assumes engineering resources and is not a substitute for a packing-bench application for small merchants.
