Shop carrier rates

Click Browse Rates to compare live quotes from every active carrier, then pick a service from the Service dropdown.

Rate shopping asks every active carrier for a live quote against your package, ship-from and ship-to. Nothing is charged, so you can pick the best price and service before committing.

The Service dropdown listing shopped rates

How do I shop rates?

  1. Set the parcel Weight and Size (in) in the Configure Shipment panel first.
  2. Click Browse Rates. It shows Loading rates… while it works.
  3. Open the Service dropdown to see each option as service name — price, sorted so you can compare.
  4. Pick the service you want. Its price flows into the floating cost review.

Why am I getting no rates?

If a piece is missing, such as no ship-from address or an invalid ship-to, you'll see a clear message instead of rates. Fix the gap, then use ⇅ Refresh to re-quote after changing the weight or box.

Tip. Rates depend on the package. Confirm weight and dimensions before you shop, and re-shop whenever you change the box.

Common questions

Why is one carrier missing from the rates?

It's either inactive or its credentials failed. Open Settings → Shipping Carriers, check the carrier is Active, and use Test Connection to confirm the credentials work.

Do I have to re-shop if I change the box?

Yes. Rates are quoted for the package you had at the time. After changing weight or dimensions, click ⇅ Refresh to pull fresh quotes.
