UK customers to access discounted rates from Hermes

ShipStation customers from the UK will now be able to access discounted rates from Hermes through the ShipStation Carrier Services programme, which might otherwise be out of reach due to minimum volume requirements.

ShipStation Carrier Services is a platform feature that gives ShipStation customers access to carrier labels through a single online postage account.

“We are thrilled to be able to provide UK merchants with immediate access to great Hermes rates within ShipStation,” said Robert Gilbreath, CMO and VP of Partnerships at ShipStation. “Merchants will benefit from the ability to start printing labels without contracts, minimum commitments, and without delay.”

This integrated relationship will enable new businesses and online entrepreneurs to benefit from a level playing field with their established, larger counterparts with access to the same great tools and discounted rates. Established merchants will be able to expand their delivery and fulfilment choices to fit their strategy and business needs.

Claire Phelan, Head of Hermes Send and Partnerships, said: “Our relationship with ShipStation is a step forward for the smaller seller community, who can now access great rates with this partnership. We’re also pleased to collaborate with ShipStation to continue our growth in the UK and overseas, specifically the US, and are looking forward to working together.”
