Pricing Tiers
All EasyPost accounts receive USPS Commercial Plus Pricing.
Here are some of the pricing tiers that USPS offers.
Commercial Base Pricing
This is the tier right below Retail rates, which you would get at a Post Office. It's discounted significantly below Retail rates.
Commercial Plus Pricing
Commercial Plus is the pricing tier that offers deeper discounts than Commercial Base. EasyPost offers Commercial Plus Pricing as standard through our EasyPost API. There is no volume necessary to qualify, you just need to sign up and start integrating.
Commercial Plus is the next pricing tier up from Commercial Base. Typically, eligibility is based on the following volume, but not for EasyPost users:
- Priority Mail: 50,000 pieces in prior year
- Express Mail: 5,000 pieces in prior year
- First Class Mail: more than 5,000 pieces in a calendar year. (This category is designed for machinable parcels that weigh less than 16 ounces.)
- International Mail: $100,000 in postage value (Includes First Class Package International Service, Priority Mail International, Priority Mail Express International, and Global Express Guaranteed Mail)
Are you doing this type of volume without using Commercial Plus? Or are you on track to hit these numbers in the next 12 months? If so, you can qualify for these rates. Drop us a line to discuss reducing your USPS shipping costs today!
