What are SKULabs USPS Discounts? Can I bring my negotiated rates?
Updated over 5 months ago

SKULabs is an official USPS Connect eCommerce partner. This means you're guaranteed by law we are offering you the best discounted rates, around 90% off, the USPS has to offer with no markup.

Am I getting the best USPS discounts?

Yes! Connect eCommerce offers discounts below legacy commercial pricing. If you qualify for a USPS Contract beyond Connect eCommerce, we make that process quick and painless - just send us your USPS Contract ID - no hoops to jump through or "negotiation" with us required.

I have negotiated rates already with [insert legacy provider here]

Unless you have a USPS Contract ID, this is a sales tactic and is not saving you money.

"Negotiation" was a strategy from a decade ago to reduce sky-high markup from a 10 to a 3 meanwhile you could have got markup of 0 all along with a provider like SKULabs.
​
Today, since the USPS merged Commercial (Base) and Commercial Plus pricing into Connect eCommerce, unless you're getting Connect eCommerce rates you can assume you're accepting markup.
​
Yeah - the credit card fees are free... but at what cost?

I don't want to lose my negotiated rates with [insert legacy provider here]

If you are not negotiating with the USPS, you're being overcharged. If you don't qualify for USPS Contract rates, USPS Connect eCommerce are the best rates available and they require zero negotiation. You get better rates and aren't sacrificing your package volume in the eyes of the USPS. It's a win-win switching to USPS Connect eCommerce.
