Why Ship USPS with atoship

USPS is already the most affordable carrier for most eCommerce sellers. With atoship, it gets even cheaper.

Commercial Plus Pricing

You get the same deeply discounted rates that high-volume shippers negotiate — without shipping thousands of packages a month. These are the lowest USPS rates legally available.

No Residential Surcharges

Unlike FedEx and UPS, USPS never charges extra for residential deliveries. The rate you see is the rate you pay, whether you're shipping to an apartment or a warehouse.

Saturday Delivery Included

USPS delivers on Saturdays at no extra charge. Priority Mail Express even delivers on Sundays and holidays in many areas. Your customers get packages faster without you paying more.

Free Carrier Pickup

Schedule free daily pickup from your home or business through your atoship dashboard. No minimum package count. The mail carrier picks up your packages during regular delivery rounds.

Flat Rate Options

Ship anything that fits in a USPS Flat Rate box for one price, regardless of weight or destination. A 30 lb box going across the country costs the same as a 2 lb box going to the next state.

USPS Flat Rate: When It Makes Sense

Flat Rate boxes ship for one price regardless of weight or destination. Here is when to use them — and when to skip them.

Use Flat Rate When

  • Your item is heavy (5+ lbs) and fits in the box
  • Shipping to far-away zones (Zone 6-8)
  • You want predictable shipping costs
  • Sending dense items like tools, hardware, or books
  • Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, or US territories

Skip Flat Rate When

  • Your item is lightweight (under 3-4 lbs)
  • Shipping to nearby zones (Zone 1-3)
  • The item doesn't fill the box (wasted space = wasted money)
  • You can use Priority Mail Cubic for small heavy items
  • Ground Advantage rates are cheaper for your package

Pro tip: atoship automatically compares Flat Rate pricing against weight-based rates when you create a label. If Flat Rate is cheaper, we show it. You never have to guess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about shipping with USPS through atoship.

What is USPS Commercial Plus Pricing?

Commercial Plus is USPS's deepest discount tier, typically reserved for shippers sending 50,000+ packages per year. Through atoship, every user gets access to these rates from day one — no volume requirements, no contracts, no negotiations needed.

How much can I actually save versus Post Office retail rates?

Savings vary by service, weight, and destination zone. On average, Priority Mail saves 25-45%, Ground Advantage saves 20-40%, and First-Class saves 15-30%. The biggest percentage savings tend to be on heavier packages shipped to farther zones.

Can I schedule a free USPS pickup?

Yes. You can schedule free Package Pickup through your atoship dashboard or directly at usps.com. Your regular mail carrier picks up packages during their normal delivery route. There's no minimum number of packages required.

What's the maximum package weight and size for USPS?

USPS accepts packages up to 70 lbs for most services. Maximum combined length + girth is 130 inches (108 inches for Priority Mail). First-Class Mail is limited to 13 oz. For anything heavier than 70 lbs, you'll need FedEx or UPS.

What's the difference between Ground Advantage and Priority Mail?

Ground Advantage delivers in 2-5 business days and is cheaper. Priority Mail delivers in 1-3 days and includes $100 insurance. For non-urgent, lower-value items, Ground Advantage saves money. For faster delivery or valuable items, Priority Mail is worth the extra cost.

Does USPS deliver on weekends?

USPS delivers packages on Saturdays at no extra charge — this applies to Priority Mail, Ground Advantage, and other services. Priority Mail Express also delivers on Sundays and holidays in most metro areas. No other carrier offers this without surcharges.

When should I use Flat Rate boxes versus my own packaging?

Flat Rate boxes make financial sense when your package is heavy relative to its size. A good rule of thumb: if your item weighs more than 5-6 lbs and fits in a Flat Rate box, the flat price will likely beat the weight-based rate. For lighter items, your own packaging with regular rates is almost always cheaper.

Are there any hidden fees or monthly costs?

No. atoship is free to use — no monthly subscription, no per-label markup, no minimum volume. You pay only the discounted USPS postage for each label you print. What you see at checkout is what you pay.

Can I use atoship for international USPS shipments?

Yes. You can print discounted labels for USPS Priority Mail International, First-Class Package International, and Priority Mail Express International. International labels include customs forms generated automatically from your order data.

How do I get free USPS Priority Mail supplies?

USPS provides free boxes, envelopes, and labels for Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express. Order them at usps.com/freeboxes — they ship free to your door, usually within a week. You can't use these boxes for other services like Ground Advantage.
