Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees: SHIPAID’s Markup Model

Simple Shipping Costs You Can Trust

Shipping fees can be confusing. Extra charges or unclear pricing make it hard to know your true costs. SHIPAID takes a different approach.


You see one clear rate that includes:

  • Your discounted carrier price
  • A small SHIPAID markup


No hidden fees, no surprise bills, no monthly subscriptions.


Why Clear Pricing Matters

You cannot run a healthy business without understanding your costs. Many platforms add complexity with extra line items or variable fees.

With SHIPAID, every label price already includes our fee.

  • The rate you see is the rate you pay
  • There is nothing new added later
  • Your shipping economics are easy to forecast


How SHIPAID’s Markup Works

Here is what happens behind the scenes:

  1. SHIPAID negotiates discounted carrier rates
  2. When you ship, you see a rate that includes the discount and a small markup
  3. That markup is SHIPAID’s only fee


Example

  • Carrier base rate, 7.00 dollars
  • SHIPAID markup, 10 percent
  • You pay 7.70 dollars total


No extra platform fees, no surprise charges at the end of the month.


Why It Is Better

SHIPAID’s pricing model stands out because it is:

  • Fair, you only pay when you ship
  • Simple, what you see is what you pay
  • Scalable, your cost structure grows with your volume


Many services rely on subscriptions, contracts, or hidden add ons. SHIPAID keeps it clean.

No Contracts, No Minimums

With SHIPAID there are:

  • No long term contracts
  • No subscription fees
  • No minimum shipment requirements


You can ship 50 or 5,000 packages a month and still benefit from clear, discounted rates.

A Real World Example

You ship 200 packages a month.

  • Base cost per package, 5.00 dollars
  • SHIPAID total with markup, 5.50 dollars
  • Total cost, 200 x 5.50 = 1,100 dollars

Retail rate without SHIPAID is 8.00 dollars.

  • 200 x 8.00 = 1,600 dollars


That is a 500 dollar monthly savings, or 6,000 dollars a year, with a simple and transparent pricing model.


Why It Builds Trust

Clear shipping costs make it easier to:

  • Set accurate rates at checkout
  • Protect your margins
  • Plan and forecast as you grow


You always know what you are paying and why.


Final Thoughts

SHIPAID makes shipping pricing straightforward. There are no confusing fee tables, no contracts, and no minimums. Just one rate that includes your carrier discount and a small, visible markup.


If you are tired of unclear shipping bills and surprise charges, SHIPAID offers a cleaner way to ship, with predictable costs and peace of mind.
