Our take
EasyPost's multi-carrier shipping API provides eCommerce businesses with seamless solutions to manage logistics. The platform allows companies to easily switch between shipping providers, track packages, and verify addresses. Saving businesses time and money and in turn, simplifying what would otherwise be a complex process.
When EasyPost emerged from stealth in 2013, it was widely recognized as the "Stripe for shipping". A comparison that stemmed from the company's ability to effectively enable developers to integrate postage and shipping features into web applications. Which, at the time, was something legacy carriers like FedEx and UPS weren't taking advantage of.
As eCommerce has grown, EasyPost has expanded its reach and is now available in over 200 countries and now offers Amazon Shipping, cementing its position as a market leader.
