Volume rates
The more you ship, the less you pay.
Every business has a different parcel mix — weights, dim weight ratio, declared values, monthly volume. So instead of publishing one-size-fits-all percentages that won't fit your shipping, we cut every business quote bespoke. Guaranteed below our public rate card.
Modest discount on the public rate
Better rates, priority support
Lane-negotiated, bespoke quote
Direct contract terms, dedicated manager
Reply within 24 working hours. We'll ask for typical weights, sizes, monthly volume, and your top HS codes. No spam, no sales-call follow-up.

No surprise admin markup
What TradeWind doesn't charge.
Parcel2Go and Parcelmonkey charge £2–£3 per DDP label in admin fees. Direct courier portals tack on fuel and residential surcharges after billing. We don't.
The price you quote your buyer is the price you pay us. Every time.
Real UK ecommerce operators, not a faceless platform
Ten years on this lane. Half our parcels still go USA-bound.
TradeWind is built by UK Etsy sellers. Three Star Seller shops, 80,000+ verified reviews averaging 4.8 stars, roughly 50% of our own parcels heading to American buyers every week. We use TradeWind ourselves every morning. Click any card to verify on Etsy.
Trustpilot for TradeWind is coming. In the meantime, every star above is a real Etsy buyer's review of a real shop our team ships through every day. If something breaks for you, it breaks for us first.
What sellers ask us.
Do I need my own UPS account?
No. We've already done the bit where you negotiate with UPS — you just pay per label at our rates. No daily pickup commitment, no monthly minimum, no contract.
What does it cost to use TradeWind?
Right now? Nothing. Sign up, ship at our rates, only pay when you book a label. We'll add paid tiers later as we ship more features — early users keep their pricing.
Which platforms can I connect today?
ShipStation and WooCommerce are live. Shopify, Etsy, eBay and BigCommerce are working through their respective approval/OAuth flows and we'll switch them on as each clears. Until then you can still upload a CSV or paste an order list.
Do you do bulk label printing, automation rules and branded inserts?
These all work today on our sister platform LabelMover (we ship a lot of parcels ourselves through it). Porting them across to TradeWind with proper multi-tenant separation is the next major piece of work — most of it is weeks, not months. Tell us what you need and we'll prioritise.
Are there volume discounts?
Yes. The default rates are already among the lowest you'll find for UK→US DDP, but if you're shipping serious volume — say 200+ parcels a month — get in touch and we'll price your lane directly.
Can my team have multiple logins?
Available on request — let us know how many seats you need and we'll set them up.
