ShipAid Shipping Rates Billing: Real Savings, Full Control, No Guesswork

Shipping isn’t cheap, and it’s not getting any cheaper. Whether you send a few hundred orders a month or manage high-volume fulfillment, what you pay directly impacts your margins. That’s why smart businesses are turning to ShipAid’s Group Purchasing Organization (GPO).

ShipAid helps you save 30 to 50% on your shipping costs, all while keeping your operations simple and in your hands. You get your own direct carrier account. You continue using the systems you already rely on. And you still gain access to volume-based discounts typically reserved for enterprise brands.

This guide explains exactly how ShipAid Shipping Rates Billing works, how it reduces your costs, and why it’s built for businesses that care about flexibility, independence, and measurable results.

Why Shipping Costs Add Up Quickly

Shipping is more than just a postage label. Every invoice includes multiple charges that increase total cost:

• Base rates for your shipping zones and weight tiers
• Weekly fuel surcharges
• Residential delivery fees
• Dimensional weight (DIM) adjustments
• Extra charges for address corrections or delivery area surcharges

Large companies often negotiate these fees down or eliminate them altogether. Smaller businesses rarely get that leverage. ShipAid’s GPO gives you access to the same rates, without requiring enterprise volume.

What the Group Network Actually Does

ShipAid brings together merchants to create shared shipping volume. That combined volume unlocks top-tier discounted pricing with major carriers.

You still use your own shipping account. You don’t have to route anything through a third party. You don’t lose visibility into your data. You don’t sacrifice control.

You continue shipping your way, but with dramatically better rates.

Getting Started is Simple

Joining ShipAid is easy and fast. Most merchants are fully onboarded in less than an hour. Here’s how it works:

1. You sign up and get approved for a carrier account if you don’t already have one
2. ShipAid links your account to its pre-negotiated GPO pricing
3. You continue using your current shipping software and tools

There is no software migration. There are no workflow changes. Your carrier relationship remains intact. Only the pricing changes in your favor.

Real Savings, Proven Results

How much can you save? That depends on your current rates and volume, but many ShipAid members report 30 to 50% cost reductions.

Examples from Actual Merchants:

• A fashion brand cut their per-shipment cost from $9.80 to $6.45
• A subscription box company saved over $100,000 in just one year
• A home goods store lowered zone-based surcharges by more than 40 percent

These aren’t outliers. They reflect what happens when smaller merchants access pricing that was previously out of reach.

Two Invoices. Total Clarity.

With ShipAid, billing is always simple. You receive:

• One invoice from your shipping carrier, just like always
• One invoice from ShipAid, covering access to group rates and support services

This model keeps billing clear. You know what you’re being charged and why.

Why This Structure Works

• Your carrier account remains yours, with your name on it
• You manage pickups, tracking, and claims directly with the carrier
• ShipAid charges a service-based fee that reflects the value of the savings you unlock
• The combined cost is almost always significantly less than what you would pay on your own

You Stay in Control

With ShipAid, you don’t give up control. You keep:

• Your shipping dashboard with your carrier
• Your tracking tools, pickup scheduling, and reports
• Your preferred automations and integrations

Whether you use an existing carrier, or custom fulfillment software, nothing changes about how you ship. You also speak directly with the carrier when you need support.

ShipAid does not sit between you and your carrier. You keep the relationship, the visibility, and the authority.
