uShip's Match Fee Structure
The uShip tiered fee structure (much like the federal income tax brackets) is a blended rate that matches fee amounts with the economic
value that both Shippers and Service Providers receive from using the site.
To simplify billing, uShip collects a Deposit from Shippers when they accept bids on uShip. This Deposit will be credited to Service Providers’
uShip accounts and will offset Service Providers’ match fees due to uShip. uShip encourages all Service Providers to use the “Amount to Me”
bidding tool to enter the exact amount that they want to receive directly from their customers, net of uShip’s fees.
The tiered fee system only affects bids placed on or after May 1, 2007, regardless of when the bids are accepted. uShip invoices and bills
members on the 1st of each month for any unpaid fees. Also, all Power Provider discounts apply.
