Pirate Ship works OK, at least for USA to USA shipments. I have not done any
cross border shipments with it.

I can confirm that it works well sending to Canada as well - I know others on
BL use it for international shipments only, so maybe they can weigh in.
For myself I like Pirate Ship a lot - I can send via USPS or UPS at heavily discounted
rates, and their support is great.

So, how does these work? I guess I mean, what's the catch? They aren't
just going to hand over cheaper shipping rates out of the kindness of their hearts.
I can't find anything about a monthly shipping fee or a charge per label.
So, what's the deal with that?

There's no catch. You pay less if you purchase postage through one of these
sites than you would if you purchased labels directly from USPS.
Behind the scenes, I believe that shipping platforms like PirateShip, Shippo,
and Chit Chats are purchasing labels in bulk from USPS, for a discount. This
is a common practice in many industries.

It’s even something that can be seen on some sites for example Canada posts business
account even says if you purchase x amount of labels you get this % discount
if you purchase up to x amount you’ll get a higher discount, etc

Do these require or expect you to be shipping a minimal amount every month, or
do they work even if you are only sending packages occasionally?

It’s labels purchased per 12 month period if I’m remembering correctly. But the
normal cheaper option that Canada post offers is available even if you ship only
a couple of packages out otherwise just like most of the companies in the states
you can go thru a different provider than meets a higher minimum and gets better
rates

| I just realized you may be referring to sites like pirate ship or chit chats
in which case no there isn’t any minimum you need to buy you can have a free
account and buy 1 label per year if you wanted or 1 label every 15 min and you’d
get the same rates

| I dont think many/any of those work in Canada. In Canada, we dont have too many
different options. Personally, I use Chitchats but to ship with them you would
need to be close to one of their locations.
