Why not just use EasyPost?
What you get with themWhat you get with us
EasyPost / ShipStation
Per-label fees that compound at scale. You pay forever.
One-time license. No per-label fees. Ever.
Roll your own
2–4 weeks per carrier. OAuth flows, token caches, normalizers, webhook handlers.
Install in minutes. All of that is already done.
Generic PHP SDKs
No Laravel integration. Manual config, no events, no HTTP client.
Built for Laravel from day one. Service providers, events, config publishing.
Everything you need to ship
One unified API
Every carrier speaks the same interface. Swap carriers or add new ones without touching your application code.
Rate shopping built in
Query all carriers concurrently and surface the cheapest or fastest rate. No sequential waterfalls.
Laravel-native
Service providers, config files, Events, and the HTTP client — exactly how Laravel expects packages to work.
Fail-open by design
Carrier API down? License server unreachable? Your app keeps shipping. We never throw unless you ask us to.
Clean, expressive API
The same interface across every carrier. Your code doesn't care which carrier ships the package.
Integrate via native PHP in your Laravel app, or call the REST endpoints from any language or external system — both paths use the same data shapes.
