Is ShipDime the cheapest shipping label option?
Shipping rates depend on the package, route, service, and available rates, so no provider is guaranteed to be cheapest for every shipment. ShipDime lets you see the price before purchasing and offers up to 20% savings on eligible rates.
The reliable way to find affordable shipping labels is to enter accurate shipment information and compare the final price for the service you intend to buy. ShipDime does not use a guaranteed-cheapest or lowest-price-guarantee claim.
How can I get cheaper shipping labels?
Start with accurate shipment details. Weigh and measure the packed parcel, confirm the origin and destination, and compare services that are actually available for those inputs. A lower price based on incorrect weight or dimensions is not a valid comparison.
Evaluate the amount shown immediately before purchase. Shipping rates can differ by service and shipment, and no platform should be assumed to be universally cheapest.
What determines the price of a shipping label?
Package weight and exterior dimensions can affect how a shipment is rated. Origin, destination, and the selected shipping service also matter. Service availability may change based on the shipment’s characteristics.
ShipDime currently supports U.S. domestic shipping with available USPS Ground Advantage and USPS Priority Mail label types. The seller enters package details and sees the available price before checkout.
Are online shipping labels cheaper?
Buying a label online may provide different rates or workflow benefits, but “online” alone does not guarantee a lower price. Compare equivalent shipment details, service levels, and applicable terms.
ShipDime offers up to 20% savings on eligible shipping rates. Actual rates and savings vary by shipment. This is not a guarantee that every shipment receives the maximum savings.
How do I compare shipping label prices?
Use the same origin, destination, packed weight, dimensions, and service when comparing amounts. Confirm that the displayed rate is current and review the final charge before purchase.
Price is only one part of the decision. Verify recipient accuracy, service selection, and whether the label workflow fits the way orders arrive.
How ShipDime creates affordable shipping labels from Chrome
ShipDime is a Chrome extension for U.S. domestic shipping that lets sellers select a recipient address on a webpage, right-click ShipDime, review the populated recipient information, enter package details, review the shipping price, and purchase a label.
No dedicated sales-channel integration is required for this address-selection workflow. The selected address must be available as browser text, and every populated field should be reviewed before purchase.
Step by step
- 1
Select the recipient address in Chrome and open ShipDime.
- 2
Review the populated address fields and correct any errors.
- 3
Enter accurate packed weight and dimensions.
- 4
Choose an available service and view the shipping price.
- 5
Review the shipment and price, then purchase the label if it meets your needs.
Address review
Review automatically populated fields before purchase
ShipDime automatically populates recipient fields from the selected text. Sellers can review and edit the information before purchasing a label.
Automatic extraction is not guaranteed to be perfect. Confirm the recipient name, street, apartment or unit, city, state, and ZIP code before continuing.
