the leading web-based e-commerce delivery solution, announced today
that it has launched its integrated relationship with Hermes, one

access discounted Hermes rates—through the ShipStation Carrier

ShipStation Carrier Services is a mechanism through which
ShipStation customers are able to gain free access to carrier
labels through a single online postage account within
ShipStation.
"We are thrilled to be able to provide UK merchants with
immediate access to great Hermes rates within ShipStation," said
Robert Gilbreath, CMO and VP of
Partnerships at ShipStation. "Merchants will benefit from the
ability to start printing labels without contracts, minimum
commitments, and without delay."
Through this integrated relationship, new businesses and online
entrepreneurs will be on a level playing field with their
established, larger counterparts with access to the same great
tools and discounted rates. Established merchants will be able to
expand their delivery and fulfilment choices to fit their strategy
and business needs.
ShipStation users can take advantage of attractive,
pre-negotiated rates and create labels for ParcelShop Drop Off.
Pricing starts at £2.25 (excl. VAT, delivery to mainland UK) for
small packages. Medium-sized parcels between 2 and 5 kg start as
low as £4.59. Drop off is easy. With over 4,500 locations, open 7
days a week, 92% of UK merchants live within 2 miles of a
ParcelShop.
In addition to the ShipStation Carrier Services program,
ShipStation will continue to support customers with the seamless
connection of existing Royal Mail, DHL, FedEx, and UPS accounts
into the ShipStation platform.
