No, for USPS, UPS, and Canada Post. Yes, for FedEx and Purolator. UPS requires a quick activation inside Rollo Ship, not a new account. 

USPS and UPS are built into Rollo Ship for U.S. shippers, and Canada Post and UPS are built in for Canadian shippers, so you can compare discounted rates and buy labels without opening an account on any carrier website. 

FedEx and Purolator are bring-your-own-account: connect the account you already have, and Rollo Ship shows your own negotiated rates, with no Rollo discount.

1. Which carriers are built in and which need your own account

Ship fromBuilt in, with discounted ratesBring your own account
United StatesUSPS, UPS®FedEx®
CanadaCanada Post, UPS®FedEx®, Purolator®

Built-in carriers are ready as soon as you create your free account. UPS needs to be activated only once per Rollo Ship account; if a UPS rate shows Activate UPS instead of Buy label, complete the prompt once and buy postage as usual.

2. What bring-your-own-account means for FedEx and Purolator

  • You link the FedEx or Purolator account you already have. Rollo Ship does not resell or discount these rates.
  • The rates you see are your own negotiated rates, and the services you see are the ones your account and the lane allow.
  • When you buy a FedEx or Purolator label in Rollo Ship, you pay for it from your prepaid Rollo Ship Wallet.
  • The Rollo Ship label fee still applies: no label fee on your first 200 labels with any carrier, then 5¢ per label, down to 1¢ with Rollo Rewards. See Rollo Ship per-label fees.

No FedEx account yet? You can open one on fedex.com and connect it afterwards. Purolator is a Canadian courier, available only on Canadian accounts, not U.S. accounts.
