easyShop and Parcel2Go offer UK sellers peak shipping price guarantee

easyShop.com and Parcel2Go announced on 22 October 2026 that they will guarantee UK retailers the lowest shipping prices until the final Christmas posting dates¹. The offer runs through Parcel2Go's Smart Send platform and includes £50 of shipping credit for sellers who connect their store and send their first parcel before 30 November¹. The sources reviewed are trade press and vendor pages rather than the full guarantee terms.

easyShop and Parcel2Go announce peak shipping guarantee for UK sellers

ChannelX reported on 22 October 2026 that easyShop.com, a new marketplace from the easy family of brands, had teamed up with Parcel2Go to guarantee retailers selling in the UK the lowest shipping prices until the final Christmas posting dates¹. The report says the partnership comes as Royal Mail's peak surcharge for business accounts begins on 2 November, more than two weeks earlier than last year¹.

The offer runs through Smart Send, which ChannelX describes as Parcel2Go's multichannel shipping platform. easyShop sellers get exclusive discounted rates from more than 15 couriers, all covered by Parcel2Go's Lowest Price Guarantee¹. Parcel2Go's Smart Send FAQ says the tool is free to set up and that sellers pay only when they buy shipping labels².

Smart Send brings easyShop orders into the same dashboard sellers use for their other sales channels. From there, sellers can compare couriers, print labels in bulk and automate carrier choice¹.

Who is affected and what changes for sellers

The offer is aimed at UK retailers selling on easyShop. easyShop is powered by OnCommerce, whose page says easyShop is launching across 21 European markets at once⁴. Our earlier report on the launch is at /articles/easyshop-opens-to-sellers-in-21-european-markets-from-13-october-2026.

For sellers, the reported change is access to exclusive peak courier rates through Smart Send. ChannelX describes the rates as "exclusive" to easyShop sellers¹, and Parcel2Go's homepage advertises rates "reserved for Smart Send users" with couriers including Evri, UPS and InPost³.

The general Lowest Price Guarantee is a price match. Parcel2Go's homepage says that if you find a comparable service elsewhere, Parcel2Go will match the price³. The homepage does not describe the easyShop-specific guarantee, so the two should not be treated as the same promise.

What to check before relying on the offer

Get the full terms. The sources reviewed do not include the wording of the easyShop guarantee, including exclusions, the claim process or how a price difference is measured. Ask for it before planning peak stock and shipping budgets.

Confirm which credit applies. Parcel2Go's Smart Send page advertises "Get £30 PrePay when you ship your first order with Smart Send - subject to terms & conditions"². ChannelX reports £50 of shipping credit for easyShop sellers who connect their store and send a first parcel before 30 November¹. The two figures differ, so ask which applies to your account.

Check the plan. Smart Send's pricing lists the Free plan at £0 per month with "Exclusive carrier rates", and the Pro plan at £49.99 per month billed monthly with "£50 Protection on all bookings"². Confirm which plan the easyShop offer needs and whether protection is included in your rate.

Note the courier count. ChannelX says "more than 15 couriers"¹. Parcel2Go's Smart Send FAQ says "Over 20 domestic and international couriers to compare"², while its features section says "15+ UK and International couriers"². Ask which couriers are in the easyShop rate set.

Work out the cut-off dates. The sources give 30 November as the credit deadline¹ but do not give the final Christmas posting date covered by the price guarantee. Confirm that date before planning stock runs.

Check Royal Mail's peak dates separately. The 2 November start for the business peak surcharge comes from the ChannelX report¹. We have not verified the surcharge amounts or end dates against Royal Mail's own pages, so check those before assuming Smart Send rates avoid them.

Model marketplace fees in full. OnCommerce describes "one fee structure for every retail brand in the network, with no hidden surprises or separate transaction fees" and says fees are subject to VAT where applicable⁴. The sources do not say whether marketplace fees apply to delivery charges, so check with easyShop before assuming shipping savings reach profit.

Setup steps for easyShop sellers

The sequence below is our suggestion, not a process set out by ChannelX or Parcel2Go.

1. Connect your easyShop store to Smart Send.
2. Confirm the credit terms and plan that apply to your account.
3. Send your first parcel before 30 November to qualify for the £50 credit¹.
4. Compare courier rates in the dashboard, and check the guarantee terms before each peak booking.
