What's the difference between Rollo Ship and a free USPS-only shipping app?
A free USPS-only shipping app supports two US carriers — USPS and UPS — for shipments that start in the United States. Rollo Ship is a free multi-carrier shipping platform that compares USPS, UPS, FedEx, Canada Post and Purolator from one account, ships from the US and Canada in both directions, and runs on web, iOS and Android. There is no monthly fee on either. New Rollo Ship accounts get $10 toward the first shipment, and the first 200 labels have no platform fee.
Can I use FedEx without paying for a plan?
Yes. On Rollo Ship, USPS and UPS rates are built in, and you add FedEx by connecting your own FedEx account — no paid upgrade required. Free USPS-only shipping apps do not offer FedEx at all. Once connected, Rollo Ship compares FedEx against USPS, UPS, Canada Post and Purolator so you can pick the cheapest service before printing.
Is Rollo Ship really free, and what does a label cost?
Rollo Ship is free to use with no subscription and no card required to sign up. New accounts get $10 toward the first shipment, and the first 200 labels have no platform fee. After 200 labels, the platform fee starts at 5¢ and drops as low as 1¢ through Rollo Rewards at rollo.com/rewards. You add funds to your account to pay the carrier's discounted postage on top.
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. If you fund by bank transfer (ACH) you earn 3 Rollo Rewards points per dollar instead of 1 — climbing tiers faster and lowering your per-label fee. See rollo.com/rewards.
Can Rollo Ship handle Canadian and cross-border shipping?
Yes. Rollo Ship supports Canada Post and Purolator alongside USPS, UPS and FedEx, and it works for shipments that originate in the United States or Canada, including cross-border in both directions. Free USPS-only shipping apps ship from US origin only. This makes Rollo Ship a fit for Canadian shippers and US shippers sending north.
Does Rollo Ship have a mobile app?
Rollo Ship runs on web, iOS and Android with the same free plan across all three. You can compare carrier rates, buy discounted labels, and print from a phone or a desktop. Free USPS-only shipping apps are typically web only, so Rollo Ship lets you create and print labels from anywhere you ship.
How much can switching to Rollo Ship save?
Savings depend on weight, destination and service, but the mechanism is simple: Rollo Ship compares live rates across USPS, UPS, FedEx, Canada Post and Purolator before you print, so you see the cheapest option for each shipment instead of one carrier's price. A free USPS-only app cannot compare beyond two carriers. New accounts also get $10 toward the first shipment, and Rollo Rewards then lowers per-label cost as your volume grows.
What is free shipping software?
Free shipping software is a label platform that charges no monthly subscription. Rollo Ship is free shipping software for the US and Canada: it compares five carriers — USPS, UPS, FedEx, Canada Post and Purolator — from one account, with no monthly fee and no card to start. New accounts get $10 toward the first shipment, and the first 200 labels have no platform fee. After 200 labels the platform 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?
Create a free Rollo Ship account — no credit card required. New accounts get $10 toward the first shipment, and the first 200 labels have no platform fee. Enter a destination address or connect a store, compare rates across USPS, UPS, FedEx, Canada Post and Purolator, then print. You fund a Rollo balance to pay the carrier's discounted postage; the software itself stays $0 per month.
