What's the difference between Rollo Ship and a free USPS-focused shipping app?
A free USPS-focused shipping app is built around USPS labels, usually with UPS added, for shipments that start in the United States, in a web browser. Rollo Ship is free multi-carrier shipping software: UPS and USPS are built in for the U.S., UPS and Canada Post for Canada, and FedEx and Purolator (Canada only) work with your own account. It ships from the US or Canada, including Canada to the US by UPS, and runs on web, iOS and Android. Neither charges a monthly fee. Rollo Ship's first 200 labels have no label fee, then 5¢ down to 1¢ per label.
Can I use FedEx without paying for a plan?
Yes. On Rollo Ship, UPS and USPS rates are built in, and you add FedEx by connecting your own FedEx account, with no paid upgrade. Free USPS-focused shipping apps typically don't offer FedEx. Once connected, Rollo Ship compares FedEx against the built-in UPS and USPS rates and sorts them by best value, price or speed before you print.
Is Rollo Ship really free, and what does a label cost?
Rollo Ship is free to sign up, with no subscription and no card required. Your first 200 labels have no label fee; that allowance applies once per account, not every month. After that, the label fee is 5¢ per label and drops to as low as 1¢ by Rollo Rewards level. See rollo.com/rewards. Carrier postage is separate: you pay the carrier's discounted rate from your funded Rollo balance.
Do I need a credit card, and how do I pay for postage?
No credit card is required to create an account or compare rates. To buy labels you fund your Rollo balance, then pay the carrier's discounted postage from it. Bank transfer (ACH) funding has no processing fees and earns 3 Rollo Rewards points per dollar instead of 1, so you climb levels faster and lower your per-label fee. See rollo.com/rewards.
Can Rollo Ship handle Canadian and cross-border shipping?
Yes. Rollo Ship has UPS and Canada Post built in for Canadian shippers and UPS and USPS built in for US shippers; FedEx and Purolator (Canada only) work with your own account. US-origin and Canadian-origin shipping each use their own Rollo Ship account type. Supported routes include US domestic, Canada domestic, US to Canada and Canada to the US by UPS. Canada Post shipments to the U.S. are temporarily unavailable in Rollo Ship while Canada Post updates its U.S. prepaid-duty requirements. We'll update this as soon as it's back. For U.S.-bound parcels from Canada, use UPS®. Free USPS-focused shipping apps ship from the US only.
Does Rollo Ship have a mobile app?
Yes. Rollo Ship runs on web, iOS and Android with the same free account. You can compare carrier rates, buy discounted labels and print from a phone or a desktop browser. Free USPS-focused shipping apps typically run in a web browser, with no native mobile app.
How much can switching to Rollo Ship save?
Savings depend on weight, destination and service. Rollo Ship compares live UPS and USPS rates (UPS and Canada Post in Canada), plus FedEx and Purolator (Canada only) with your own account, and sorts them by best value, price or speed before you print. A free USPS-focused app compares USPS and UPS, without FedEx. Rollo Rewards then lowers the per-label fee as your volume grows and adds perks such as free label packs from the Pro level.

What is free shipping software?
Free shipping software is a shipping app that charges no monthly subscription. Rollo Ship is free multi-carrier shipping software for the US and Canada: it compares UPS and USPS (U.S.) or UPS and Canada Post (Canada), built in, plus FedEx and Purolator (Canada only) with your own account, with no monthly fee and no card to start. The first 200 labels have no label fee. After that, the label fee is 5¢ down to 1¢; you still pay the carrier's discounted postage from a funded balance.
How do I print a shipping label for free with Rollo Ship?
Create a free Rollo Ship account, with no credit card required. Enter a destination address or connect a store, enter the weight and size you measured, and compare UPS and USPS rates (UPS and Canada Post in Canada), plus FedEx and Purolator (Canada only) with your own account. Then print on any compatible printer. The software has no monthly fee and your first 200 labels have no label fee, but carrier postage always applies; you pay it from a funded Rollo balance.
