EasyPost

EasyPost provides an all-in-one shipping and logistics software platform built around a RESTful API. Its product suite covers pre-shipping, shipping, and post-shipping functions: a shipping API for rate shopping and label generation, an address verification API, a tracking API with branded tracking and notifications, an insurance and claims API, code-free label creation, return shipping labels, cartonization and load planning (MagicLogic), and a white-label API partners can embed in their own platforms. A single integration gives customers access to more than 100 carriers, including USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, DHL eCommerce, Canada Post, Maersk, Asendia, Amazon Shipping, Veho, Roadie and UniUni. Carriers are offered either through "EasyPost Wallet Carriers," where EasyPost holds the carrier relationships, discounted rates and centralized billing with no contracts, or via customer-owned carrier accounts (BYOCA).

The company also markets Luma AI, an AI layer included with every account that answers questions about shipping operations and recommends cost and performance actions, along with AI-based estimates for cost and delivery date. According to the company site, EasyPost serves 200+ countries and territories, employs 450+ people, and has shipped billions of packages; customer references cited on the site include Radio Flyer, Zenni Optical, Sticker Mule, Yamibuy, Packiyo, Kase and Winestyr. Third-party profiles describe customers such as Dollar Shave Club, Duluth Trading Company and JD Finish Line, and Forbes reported early work with Jet.com, whose shipping infrastructure was built on EasyPost and later informed Walmart's use of the product.

Founding story

Jarrett Streebin founded EasyPost in 2012 after running an e-commerce business and struggling to connect USPS to his website for customer-generated labels; finding existing options such as Endicia limited, he set out to build "a Stripe for shipping." He first published a website advertising the API before building it to test demand, reached number one on Hacker News, and attracted early funding from Kevin Carter, then at SV Angel. He was rejected by Y Combinator on his first application and accepted after reapplying six months later. Before founding the company, Streebin worked at The 451 Group and at a family office, and he holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley. One third-party profile names Jon Calhoun as a co-founder.

Business model

EasyPost sells usage-based access to its shipping software and carrier network. Published pricing includes a free tier covering up to 3,000 labels using EasyPost Wallet Carriers (postage excluded, per-label fee beyond the limit), a Bring Your Own Carrier Accounts plan at $20 per month plus per-label fees, and custom enterprise pricing based on volume. Tracking is priced at $0.01-$0.03 per shipment for basic multi-carrier tracking and $0.03 per shipment for advanced branded tracking; insurance is priced at 1% of shipment value with a $1.00 minimum. Data/analytics products and cartonization are quoted through sales. The CEO summarized the model in 2021 as earning roughly a penny on each shipping label produced.

Per-label and per-shipment transaction fees, a monthly subscription for the bring-your-own-carrier plan, percentage-of-value insurance premiums, and negotiated enterprise contracts; discounted carrier rates are resold through the EasyPost Wallet.

Traction

Company materials cite billions of packages shipped, service to 200+ countries and territories, 450+ employees, and tens of thousands of enterprise partners. Customer outcomes advertised include $2M+ annualized savings for an unnamed re-commerce marketplace, $6K monthly savings at Sticker Mule, 1,800 hours saved annually at Zenni Optical, a 4x shipping capacity increase at Radio Flyer, and a two-week integration at Yamibuy. In 2021 Forbes reported thousands of customers shipping billions of packages per month and that volume had doubled the prior year.

Latest developments

Current site messaging centers on AI-driven logistics: Luma AI is included in every account and marketed as a supply-chain visibility and recommendation product "built for 2026 and beyond," alongside AI-powered cost and delivery-date estimates. The carrier lineup has expanded to include "Edge Carriers" such as Amazon Shipping, Veho, Roadie and UniUni, and the product line now includes MagicLogic cartonization and load planning. Josh Lane serves as CTO after prior engineering leadership roles at the company. A third-party profile reports a $1.5 billion valuation following a January 2026 round.
