To see the services of a shipment consolidator, you must first confirm your account is connected to ShippingEasy by following these steps.

To confirm consolidator connection on the POSTAGE AND CARRIERS page:

2. To verify that it has been enabled, a green Connected label will be shown next to your account information.

After your account has been enabled to use an international consolidator, you will notice a difference on the READY TO SHIP page. When you are processing an international shipment (or a batch) and you select USPS as the carrier, in addition to the standard USPS international services, the consolidator options will also be listed as services.

   NOTE: when you select a consolidator service, ShippingEasy will not display a rate quote. Purchasing consolidator labels does not reduce the postage balance in your USPS account - instead, the consolidator will invoice you for your shipments.
