Shipping savings FAQ
- How does the shipping savings calculator work?
- Enter how many packages you ship per month and your average label cost today, then pick your primary carrier. The calculator applies a conservative average discount off retail/published rates for that carrier to estimate your monthly and annual savings. It is a directional estimate — your real savings depend on weight, zones, and service mix.
- How much can I actually save on shipping?
- It depends on what you ship. Lightweight parcels on USPS and regional carriers tend to see the biggest gap between retail and commercial rates. Heavier UPS/FedEx ground shipments typically see less. The calculator uses mid-range assumptions so the number is realistic, not inflated — for a precise figure, run a few real packages through the live rate comparison.
- Do I need to commit to a volume or contract to get discounted rates?
- No. ShipWave gives you access to commercial shipping rates with no minimum volume and no monthly contract. You only pay for the labels you buy, and those are already discounted off retail.
- Is the calculator free?
- Yes. The calculator is completely free and requires no account. You only create a free account when you are ready to buy a discounted label.
