Overview

EasyPost is a multi-carrier shipping API that lets businesses compare rates, buy and print labels, verify addresses, track shipments, and insure parcels across 100+ carriers through a single REST integration. Rather than building and maintaining a separate connection to each carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon Shipping, and many regional carriers), companies route all carrier interactions through EasyPost's standardized API. The platform is aimed primarily at e-commerce sellers, marketplaces, 3PLs, and software platforms that need to embed parcel shipping into their own applications or fulfillment workflows.

The product is delivered as a developer-first API with helper libraries for Python, PHP, Ruby, Node.js, Java, and other languages, alongside a web dashboard for account management and reporting. Core APIs include the Shipping API (rating, label purchase, manifests, customs), the Address Verification API, the Tracking API (real-time updates, branded tracking pages, webhooks), and the Insurance API. EasyPost also offers higher-level products such as Luma (AI-driven rate shopping and carrier selection trained on historical shipment data), Forge (a white-label, no-code shipping toolkit for platforms), and GlobalShip for enterprise scaling. The company reports enterprise-grade reliability with 99.99% uptime.

For ERP buyers, EasyPost functions as a parcel-shipping and carrier-rating layer rather than a full enterprise TMS for freight and multi-modal logistics. ERP integration is generally API-based: orders flow from the ERP to EasyPost for rate-shopping and label creation, and tracking numbers and statuses flow back. EasyPost publishes a validated native connector for Acumatica via the Acumatica xRP platform; NetSuite and most other ERPs are connected through EasyPost's REST API or third-party middleware. Vendor-cited customers include Walmart, eBay, Dell, The Home Depot, and Warby Parker.

Strengths & considerations

Strengths

Single REST integration to 100+ carriers, removing per-carrier connection work
Discounted carrier rates available without negotiating each contract directly
Validated native connector for Acumatica via the xRP platform
Luma AI layer that rate-shops using billions of historical shipments
Free tier covering up to 3,000 labels per month with wallet carriers
Reported 99.99% uptime and enterprise reference customers

Considerations

Parcel-focused; not a full enterprise TMS for freight/LTL or multi-modal logistics
Most advanced configuration requires API-level work, creating engineering dependency
No EasyPost-certified native NetSuite connector — NetSuite is via API or third-party middleware
Reviewers report billing and claims-handling friction in some accounts
Per-shipment and per-label fees (tracking, insurance, overages) apply beyond the free tier

EasyPost — frequently asked questions

Does EasyPost integrate with ERP systems?

Yes. EasyPost publishes an Acumatica-validated native connector built on the Acumatica xRP platform that handles rate shopping, label printing, international shipping, and manifests inside the ERP. Other ERPs such as NetSuite are connected through EasyPost's REST API or third-party middleware, with orders flowing to EasyPost for rating and labels and tracking data syncing back.

How many carriers does EasyPost support?

EasyPost supports more than 100 carriers through a single integration, including USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, Amazon Shipping, Canada Post, and many regional and global carriers.

Is there a free version of EasyPost?

EasyPost offers a free tier covering up to 3,000 labels per month when using its wallet carriers, with postage billed separately. A bring-your-own-carrier-accounts (BYOCA) plan is listed at $20/month plus per-label fees, and enterprise pricing is custom.

Is EasyPost SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant?

Yes. EasyPost maintains SOC 2 Type II attestation and ISO 27001 certification, and makes its SOC 2 report available to customers and prospects under NDA through its trust page.

What is the difference between EasyPost and a full TMS?

EasyPost is a parcel-shipping and carrier-rating API focused on rate-shopping, label generation, address verification, tracking, and insurance. It is not a full enterprise transportation management system for freight, LTL, or complex multi-modal logistics; it typically sits alongside an ERP or OMS as the parcel-shipping layer.
