uShip's Booking Fees

uShip's booking fees are based on the accepted bid price. To simplify billing, uShip collects a deposit from shipping customers when they accept bids on uShip. This deposit will be credited to Service Providers' uShip accounts and will offset the Service Providers' booking fees due to uShip. uShip encourages all Service Providers to use the “Calculate Bid” bidding tool to calculate bid prices based on booking fees and the amount you wish to earn.

Note that shipments occurring within your home country will be subject to the fee schedule for that country. Any shipment with an origin or destination outside of your home country may be subject to another fee schedule. If there is a discrepancy between the two fee schedules in question, fees will be collected based on the lower of the two fee amounts. You may view fee schedules for other countries using the dropdown menu below. Also, all Power Provider discounts apply regardless of the applicable fee schedule.

Fees are based in US Dollars and will be converted to match your account's currency setting. You can update your currency setting in My uShip's Regional Settings. Actual fees are calculated based on current exchange rates at the time a bid is placed.

This fee system affects all bids placed on or after November 6, 2009, regardless of when the bids are accepted.
