EasyPost provides shipping solutions through its Shipping APIs, which allow businesses to manage their shipping processes efficiently. These APIs enable clients to integrate shipping functionalities into their systems, giving them access to compare rates from various carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL on a single platform. This multi-carrier access helps businesses find the best shipping options for their needs. EasyPost operates on a subscription or usage-based fee model, allowing clients to use the service for free for the first 120,000 packages annually, after which fees are based on shipment volume. Additionally, EasyPost offers shipping insurance to protect packages against loss or damage, and data optimization tools to help businesses save on costs and improve delivery times. The goal of EasyPost is to streamline logistics operations for businesses of all sizes, ensuring reliable delivery and cost savings.
