Pricing
How Easyship pricing works
Easyship's pricing is unusually transparent: pay-as-you-go with no monthly commitment on the free tier, with paid plans unlocking volume discounts and automation.
For occasional shippers
- 50 shipments/month
- Auto duty calc
- DDP/DDU options
- Basic customs docs
- Standard support
For SMBs with sustained volume
- Everything in Free
- 500 shipments/month
- Carrier rate discounts
- Advanced automation
- Priority support
- Branded tracking
For enterprise B2B programs
- Everything in Plus
- Unlimited shipments

What you'll actually pay: Per-shipment costs are courier-rate-plus-DDP-handling - typically $30-$120 per laptop shipment depending on destination, declared value, and DDP/DDU choice. The Free tier is genuinely usable for under 50 shipments/month; Plus pays back when you exceed that volume.

Easyship FAQ
Under 50-100 laptop shipments per quarter where the specialization premium of Workwize/Deel IT doesn't pay back. For occasional laptop dispatches with your own MDM in-house, Easyship's pay-as-you-go economics are dramatically cheaper. The break-even is typically around 100-200 shipments per quarter.
Courier rate + DDP handling fee. Typically $30-$120 per laptop shipment depending on destination, declared value, and DDP choice. The public duty calculator on easyship.com gives accurate ballpark figures pre-shipment.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means sender prepays all duties so recipient pays nothing on delivery - almost always right for employee laptops, the customer experience is worth the handling fee. DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) means recipient pays at border - terrible new-hire experience, avoid for employee shipments.
No - Easyship is courier orchestration only, no MDM, no warehouse-based pre-configuration. You'd need to enroll devices in MDM before shipping with Easyship (typically via your own internal IT process) or use a specialist platform that bundles MDM enrollment.
Generates return labels and tracks return shipments but no warehouse-based wipe, refurbishment, or redeployment. For pure return logistics it works; for full lifecycle retrieval, specialist platforms are needed.
Both are multi-carrier platforms with public pricing. Sendcloud is EU-led with stronger European carrier coverage. Easyship is more global with stronger US presence. Choose by primary shipping region; both work for occasional laptop shipping.
Bottom line
Our verdict on Easyship
The pay-as-you-go pick for small-volume B2B laptop shipping
Easyship is the shipping platform we recommend most often to small IT teams that ship laptops occasionally and don't want the cost or commitment of a specialist platform like Workwize or Deel IT. The free pay-as-you-go tier, transparent duty calculation, and 220+ destination coverage make it the cheapest option for under-100-shipment-quarter programs.
