1 Platform Description
ShipWink provides access to discounted shipping rates through carrier partnerships. We facilitate label generation and rate comparison for businesses and individuals. ShipWink is not a carrier — we are a shipping software platform.
2 Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have a valid business or personal need for shipping services. By creating an account, you confirm you meet these requirements.
3 Shipping Rates & Charges
- ShipWink is free to use. There are no monthly fees, subscription charges, or setup costs.
- You pay only for the postage you purchase. Rates are drawn from your pre-funded wallet at the time of label purchase.
- Displayed rates are all-in — carrier cost plus ShipWink platform fees are already included in the price shown. There are no hidden charges.
- Final postage charges are determined at label purchase and may differ slightly from initial estimates based on actual package weight and dimensions.
- Address correction fees, dimensional weight adjustments, and carrier surcharges imposed after shipment are the responsibility of the account holder and may be deducted from your wallet balance.
- A 3.75% convenience fee applies to wallet top-ups made via credit or debit card to cover payment processing costs.
4 Shipping Insurance
Optional shipping insurance is available at checkout for an additional fee. Insurance is underwritten through our carrier partner (EasyPost) and is subject to their terms and exclusions.
- Insurance fees are calculated based on the declared value of your shipment plus a $1.00 flat service fee per insured label.
- Declared value must accurately reflect the item's actual retail replacement cost. Misrepresentation may void coverage.
- ShipWink does not underwrite insurance and makes no guarantees regarding claim approval, payout timelines, or coverage limits.
- Claims must be filed directly through the carrier or insurer within their stated claim window.
5 International Shipping & Customs
You are solely responsible for compliance with customs regulations, import duties, and applicable taxes in the destination country. ShipWink is not liable for customs delays or rejections.
6 Prohibited Shipments
You may not use ShipWink to ship:
- Hazardous materials or dangerous goods without proper authorization
- Illegal goods, controlled substances, or narcotics
- Weapons, firearms, or ammunition without proper licensing
- Counterfeit or trademark-infringing products
- Items prohibited by the applicable carrier or destination country
7 Service Availability
Carrier availability and feature access may vary by account type and region. ShipWink reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at any time.
8 Limitation of Liability
ShipWink is not liable for carrier delays, lost or damaged packages (beyond applicable insurance), customs delays, or indirect damages. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid for the affected transaction.
9 Account Termination
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or abuse our platform. Remaining wallet credits may be forfeited upon termination for cause.
10 Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.
11 Changes to Terms
