Print postage paid labels with RocketShipIt + Stamps.com. Postage can be hidden so customers don't see it. Simply supply the address, weight, and any additional services and RocketShipIt does the rest.
RocketShipIt gives you actual rates direct from the carrier. RocketShipIt uses the same backend API that the carriers use on their own site to rate shipments. Rate based on a daily pickup, customer counter, and more. Avaliable rate types include: List Rates, Discounted Rates (based on your account number), and Suggested Retail Rates.
Ever wonder how Amazon can tell you when your package will arive before you checkout? RocketShipIt uses the carrier's Time in Transit API to calculate the time it will take for packages to reach your customers based on their distance from your shipping facility.
As with all RocketShipIt products you recieve free updates for life. If a carrier adds a new feature, changes their APIs, or new carriers are added you get it all for free.
Increase exposure by providing your customers with real time package tracking on your own site. Track by shipment id, reference number, invoice number, RMA number, and more.
