All ShippingEasy plans include a USPS One Balance account at no additional cost. As our technology partner, Stamps.com enables purchasing USPS labels through ShippingEasy with its label server. View Stamps.com's Terms of Service.

As a ShippingEasy user, you can get discounts on USPS services. View our discounted rate table and see how much you can save.

If you have an existing USPS Stamps.com account, it cannot be connected to ShippingEasy. To access discounted rates in ShippingEasy, you must open a new USPS account through ShippingEasy.

Additional One Balance Carriers:

Once you open a ShippingEasy One Balance account, you will receive invoices and notifications from Stamps.com regarding your funds and billing.

You can update your Stamps.com contact information and email address at Stamps.com. Follow our guide to Update One Balance Account Billing Details.

One Balance Account ID and Password

ShippingEasy stores your credentials, or account information, for your One Balance account in-app. This keeps them secure and makes them easy to find. You can find your account information on the CARRIER FUNDS page, where the Account ID (i.e., Account Number) is readily visible.

Notes about One Balance

Cannot use a P.O. Box to Register a One Balance Account

When creating a ShippingEasy One Balance account, you cannot use a P.O. Box for your address. If your business only has a P.O. Box address, you can enter the address for your local post office instead.

To avoid registration errors, make sure the Post Office address validates with USPS by using this validation tool: USPS ZIP Code by Address Lookup

Remove a One Balance account from ShippingEasy

If your One Balance account has been closed, you may wish to remove it from your ShippingEasy account. This allows you to open a new One Balance account.

To remove a closed One Balance account from ShippingEasy, email support@shippingeasy.com with your Account ID. Our Customer Success team will be able to disconnect the account.

Once the account has been removed, you will have the option to open a new One Balance account for free.

Suspended One Balance account

If you cannot purchase postage from within ShippingEasy, it may be that your One Balance account has been suspended.

You may encounter this error if ShippingEasy is not able to connect to your One Balance account:
