Everything that syncs with USPS
Coverage designed around how teams actually operate — not a generic feature list.
Rate shopping
Compare USPS rates alongside UPS and FedEx in real time. Nventory selects the cheapest or fastest option based on your rules for each order.
Label generation
Generate USPS shipping labels directly from your order queue. Priority Mail, Ground Advantage, and First-Class labels print in one click.

Delivery notifications
Surface USPS delivery events inside Nventory so your team and customers know exactly when packages arrive.
Common USPS operational scenarios
Lightweight DTC brands optimizing shipping cost
You ship items under a pound and USPS First-Class or Ground Advantage is consistently cheaper than UPS or FedEx. Nventory automates that selection.
Multi-channel sellers fulfilling eBay and Shopify orders
You sell on eBay and Shopify and need USPS labels generated from a single queue with tracking pushed back to both platforms.
Businesses shipping from home or small warehouses
You do not have a UPS or FedEx account with deep discounts. USPS commercial pricing through Nventory gives you competitive rates from day one.
A rollout sequence that avoids sync drift
Connect your USPS account
Authenticate your USPS Web Tools credentials or ePostage account in Nventory to enable rate lookups and label generation.
Configure shipping rules
Set rules for when USPS should be selected over other carriers — by weight, destination, cost threshold, or delivery speed.
Map ship-from locations
Assign your warehouse or fulfillment addresses as USPS origin points for accurate rate calculations.
Test and go live
Generate test labels, verify tracking sync to your channels, and confirm delivery notification flow before full production use.
Shipping operations flow through Nventory
From carrier rate comparison to label generation and tracking — Nventory automates the entire shipping workflow.

What teams should design around early
Dimensional weight not used for most services
Unlike UPS and FedEx, USPS prices most services by actual weight. This benefits lightweight-but-bulky items but means heavy-small items may cost more than expected.
Delivery time variability
USPS Ground Advantage and First-Class delivery windows are estimates, not guarantees. Factor this into customer-facing shipping promises.
Package size limits
USPS enforces strict maximum dimensions for each service level. Oversized packages may need to ship via UPS or FedEx instead.
