Frequently asked questions
Is ShipWave really free?
Yes. There are no monthly fees, no subscriptions, and no minimum volume requirements. You only pay for the shipping labels you purchase, and those are already discounted up to 54% off retail rates.
How does ShipWave make money?
We negotiate bulk commercial rates with carriers and pass the majority of those savings on to you. We earn a small margin on each label — but you still pay significantly less than retail.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The rate you see is the rate you pay. No surcharges, no markups, no surprise invoices at the end of the month.
Do I need a carrier account?
No. You ship through ShipWave's pre-negotiated accounts, which is how you get discounted rates without needing your own contract with each carrier.
What if I ship in high volume?
We offer additional volume discounts for businesses shipping 500+ packages per month. Contact us to learn more about custom pricing.
