Our take
EasyPost's multi-carrier shipping API allows e-commerce businesses to easily switch between logistics companies, track packages, and verify addresses in order to save time and money.
When the company emerged from stealth back in 2013, it was hailed by many as the “Stripe for shipping” because of how effectively it enabled developers to integrate postage and shipping into web applications – a common obstacle due to the outdated systems used by legacy carriers like FedEx and UPS.
EasyPost has gone from strength to strength over the years as e-commerce in general has boomed. It's expanded to over 200 countries, and is now considered a market leader in the shipping API niche.
There have also been numerous reports of an imminent IPO, and though nothing has come to pass as of yet, it's a real indication of the company's strength.
