Royal Mail Discounted Rates Are Now Live On Easyship: Automate & Save On UK Shipping Services

Shipping in the UK just got a whole lot easier.

We’re excited to announce that Easyship now offers native Royal Mail services with pre-negotiated discounted rates, giving merchants direct access to the UK’s largest and most trusted carrier—without the need to open a Royal Mail business account.

With this launch, Easyship now supports all major UK carriers in one platform, making it easier than ever for UK-based sellers and international eCommerce brands to ship domestically and internationally with confidence, flexibility, and highly competitive rates.

If you sell to or within the UK, this major update removes a major operational headache for brands: setting up and managing a separate Royal Mail integration and business account, managing billing, negotiating discounts, and creating a label workflow just to start shipping.

Which Royal Mail Services are Available on Easyship?

Easyship supports a wide range of Royal Mail services, covering almost every UK eCommerce use case:‍

Domestic UK Shipping Options (Royal Mail)

‍International Shipping Services (Royal Mail)

Note: Royal Mail only supports parcels up to 20kg with dimensions less than: Length 61cm, Width 46cm, and Depth 46cm. For heavier, bulkier, or oversized packages, use Easyship’s shipping rate calculator to explore more delivery options.

Why do eCommerce Sellers Ship with Royal Mail?

Royal Mail is the backbone of UK eCommerce logistics.

For decades, it’s been the most recognized carrier in the UK—trusted because its delivery network and household coverage is built for everyday eCommerce essentials like:

• Delivering packages of all sizes
• Offering broad coverage across the UK
• Consistent, affordable domestic delivery
• Reliable, tracked international shipping

This is why Royal Mail is a foundational piece in many merchants' logistics strategy.

The operational compromise has always been that sellers often manage Royal Mail separately, independent of other carrier services, resulting in merchants juggling multiple accounts or relying on limited label-printing tools that lacked choice, automation, or scalability.

Easyship’s new Royal Mail integration solves these trade-offs, delivering a single, powerful dashboard or shipping API, that allows businesses of all sizes to access Royal Mail discounted rates, automate their fulfillment process, and manage cross-border complexity. 

What’s New: Royal Mail Discounted Rates

Easyship has expanded its Royal Mail support through a direct API integration for small businesses and eCommerce to:

• Generate Royal Mail shipping labels directly in Easyship
• Access pre-negotiated rates (no Royal Mail account required)
• Ship both domestically and internationally
• Track and update shipments automatically 
• Cancel shipments and receive refunds when needed

All from one central dashboard. No contracts. No negotiations. No technical setup.

How Does Easyship’s Royal Mail Integration Work?

This new partnership launch with Royal Mail is great for UK merchants looking to automate their shipping and logistics operations.‍

1. Instant Access To Royal Mail Rates‍

You can open a free Easyship account, complete the setup, and start shipping with Royal Mail in as little as 3-5 minutes. It really is that simple.

Connect your Shopify store, link your Amazon storefront, or sync eCommerce orders via an API or more than 70 multi-channel sales platform integrations to compare Royal Mail rates and buy labels. You can automate your entire fulfillment workflow to save hours daily.

2. Full Coverage of UK Shipping Services

With Royal Mail now available as a resale carrier, Easyship supports all major UK shipping alternatives in one place. That means merchants can finally stop switching between tools and carriers to fulfill orders.

You can now:

• Use Royal Mail for almost every type of parcel size and weight
• Use global express couriers for time-sensitive deliveries
• Compare prices, delivery times, and service levels instantly

One platform. More choice. Total flexibility.

3. No Royal Mail Business Account Required

One of the biggest pain points for growing sellers is carrier setup and maintenance.

Previously, Royal Mail accounts have often required:

• Manual onboarding
• Separate billing and admin
• Third-party shipping software

With Easyship’s free shipping software and new Royal Mail integration, you can start shipping immediately, even if you’ve never had a business account before.

This is especially valuable for:

• Small to mid-sized UK businesses
• International sellers shipping into or out of the UK
• Merchants that are scaling fast and looking to simplify their operations 

4. Built for the Way Global Sellers Ship

This postal integration isn’t just basic label printing. Royal Mail services are fully embedded into Easyship’s workflow, meaning you get:

• Automatic rate calculation
• Discounted Royal Mail rates
• Centralized, global tracking updates
• Support for customs documentation
• PDF labels with QR codes
• Shipment management, scheduling, and cancellation
• Shipping automation rules and auto box selection

Everything you need to ship efficiently—without manual work.
