Best for shipping labels from Japan

Ship&Co prints shipping labels for online sellers, with orders imported from stores and carriers across Japan and abroad. It is $8 a month plus $0.17 a label at the start, which is about $16.50 for 50 labels, and it is built around shipping from Japan.

Who Ship&Co is for

  • Fits if you ship from Japan and want labels and customs forms from one place
  • Works for small sellers with a few dozen parcels a month

Who Ship&Co is not for

  • Not for you if you ship from outside Japan: the site is built around it
  • Watch out: carriers are billed separately, using your own accounts
  • Pricey if volume grows: the monthly fee steps from $8 to $25 at 51 labels
  • Watch out: prices are tax included and the dollar figures are converted from yen

Keep Ship&Co, or make your own?

Keep it

To replace Ship&Co you would be making discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

It costs $96 a year.

What you could make

  • Reports: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
  • It plugs into other products, Shopify, eBay and Amazon among them, and has an API.

What this rests on. Ship&Co’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

What is Ship&Co?

Ship&Co connects online stores to Japanese and international carriers so labels can be created in a few clicks and tracking sent back to the store. It is offered as a web app and as a REST API for warehouses, 3PLs and platforms. Sellers use their own carrier accounts and negotiated rates.

Worth knowing

  • Pricing combines a monthly infrastructure fee with a per-label charge, so the monthly cost rises with volume; the page states prices tax included.
  • Carriers are billed separately: the sender uses their own carrier accounts, apart from Japan Post International, which needs no carrier contract.
  • The site is built around shipping from Japan, and which label and bulk features work depends on the carrier and service.
  • The pricing page shows yen, dollar and euro figures; the dollar prices are used here.
