ShipBae Brings USPS GDE Rates to International Shippers Through EasyPost

EasyPost has been the best way to ship with USPS for over a decade. Today, we’re extending that strength to international importers with the addition of ShipBae, a new carrier that gives high-volume shippers access to USPS Global Direct Entry (GDE) rates for last-mile delivery into the United States. GDE can reduce rates for USPS Ground Advantage and Priority Mail by up to 45% from Retail.

ShipBae is available alongside 100+ carriers in the EasyPost network, making it easier than ever for international shippers to reduce costs, speed up delivery, and simplify their U.S. import operations all through the EasyPost API.

What is ShipBae?

Gori Company, dba ShipBae, is a carrier that connects international shippers to USPS for last-mile delivery on GDE rates. Historically, only qualified USPS partners could access these special rates, but with ShipBae, more shippers can benefit without having to meet the requirements themselves.

That means shippers can use their freight forwarder of choice, and once packages clear U.S. Customs, ShipBae prints the USPS labels and injects packages directly into the USPS network for last-mile delivery. No extra intermediary carriers and no unnecessary handoffs.

ShipBae offers two USPS service levels to U.S. domestic addresses to serve shippers who need both faster delivery or more economical costs.

• USPS Priority Mail
• USPS Ground Advantage

U.S. importers should take note

If you’re shipping high volumes into the U.S. from overseas, you already know that cross-border logistics is one of the most complex and expensive parts of the supply chain. The last-mile leg, getting packages from customs clearance to the customer’s door, is often where costs spike and visibility drops.

ShipBae and EasyPost are here to solve that.

Lower your last-mile costs with GDE rates

USPS GDE rates are wholesale-level pricing that most shippers can’t access on their own. Qualifying as a GDE wholesaler directly requires USPS approval, minimum volume thresholds, at least $250,000 in annual USPS postage, and regular 36-month sales projections. That’s a high bar for most businesses.

ShipBae removes that barrier. Through EasyPost, shippers can access GDE rates without managing a direct USPS wholesaler relationship, unlocking significant savings on every shipment.

Get packages delivered faster

Traditional cross-border workflows often include a dead zone between customs clearance and last-mile pickup. Packages sit in a facility waiting for transport to the next carrier. 

ShipBae eliminates that gap. Once customs clears your shipment, it goes directly into the USPS mail stream. Fewer handoffs, fewer wasted transit days, faster delivery to your customers.

Whether you’re an established brand expanding into the U.S. market, a marketplace aggregator managing cross-border fulfillment, or a 3PL optimizing for your merchant base, ShipBae gives you a faster, more affordable path into the USPS network.

Better together: ShipBae and EasyPost

Alongside access to ShipBae, EasyPost shippers get access to AI-powered intelligence and enterprise-grade tracking. One workflow, one API, fewer handoffs.

EasyPost’s Luma AI offers optimization across your entire shipping operation. Shippers adding ShipBae are focused on reducing costs, and Luma AI takes that further by identifying which shipments will benefit most from ShipBae’s GDE rates, surfacing additional savings opportunities across your domestic volume. It’s cost optimization that works across your full carrier mix.

EasyPost Track provides enterprise-grade tracking on every shipment with SMS and email notifications. Visibility on imports is especially critical, as customers eagerly watch for their orders to clear customs. Through EasyPost, all of your shipments’ tracking data feeds into the same webhooks and dashboards you use for every other carrier, centralizing clarity to one place.
