Sendcloud FAQ
Lite tier at €23/month, Growth at €70/month, Premium at €138/month. Per-shipment costs are carrier rate + small platform fee - typically $15-$90 depending on carrier and destination. Pricing is genuinely public on sendcloud.com.
Yes for occasional laptop shipping in Europe - multi-carrier choice and transparent pricing make it accessible. For sustained laptop programs needing MDM enrollment, in-country warehousing, or retrieval, IT-specialist platforms add value Sendcloud doesn't provide.
Both are multi-carrier platforms with public pricing. Sendcloud is EU-led with stronger European carrier depth (160+ carriers vs Easyship's broader-but-shallower global coverage). Easyship has stronger US presence. Choose by primary shipping region.
DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS, FedEx, PostNL, Royal Mail, La Poste, Bpost, Deutsche Post, Colissimo, and 150+ others. The EU carrier depth is the strongest in the multi-carrier category - typically you can pick optimal carrier per route.
Yes - customs documentation is automated, HS code support is built in. The customs handling is paperwork-only, not importer-of-record service. For high-volume cross-border to high-tariff countries, IT-specialist or landed-cost-guarantee platforms reduce variability.
At Premium tier, yes - self-serve returns portal lets employees initiate returns. Useful for laptop retrieval at offboarding but no MDM-aware wipe, refurbishment, or redeployment. Full retrieval workflow requires specialist platforms.
