Bottom Line
What shipping costs on Depop depends on the parcel size the seller picks when listing: with Depop Shipping, Depop calculates the shipping price from that size, the buyer pays it as part of the order total, and Depop supplies a prepaid USPS label. Depop's help centre does not publish a price table, so check the price for your parcel size in the Depop app. A bundle ships on one Depop label sized to its combined weight, and US sellers pay Depop a payment processing fee of 3.3% plus $0.45 on the item price plus shipping and any applicable taxes. Depop Protection for sellers covers only orders sent on a Depop Shipping label, so a sale shipped on a label you buy yourself is outside it.

Depop shipping is USPS, and Depop's help pages do not name the USPS service: its built-in prepaid labels are priced off a preset weight tier. On your own shipping, most sub-1-lb Depop orders ship cheapest on USPS Ground Advantage, from $5.63 in the app for a garment under 4 oz, and USPS Priority Mail is the faster 2-3 day upgrade you choose yourself.

Every I'd Ship That and in-app price on this page is a Pro price. Prices marked Pro price are what Pro members pay. On the free Starter plan, each label adds a platform fee of about 10% of the postage, rounded to the nearest $0.25, at least $0.50 and at most $2.50. Prices shown are for paying from your I'd Ship That balance; paying by card costs slightly more.

The line that decides it is 16 oz: below it a label you buy yourself for a Depop order is sub-pound priced by ounce tier, above it USPS Ground Advantage switches to per-pound, per-zone pricing, and USPS Priority Mail buys speed rather than a lower price.

And yes, you can use the free USPS Priority Mail boxes and envelopes for a Depop order, but only with Priority Mail postage: they are Priority Mail packaging only, so a USPS Ground Advantage label cannot go on one. USPS supplies no free Ground Advantage packaging, so use any plain box, poly mailer, or padded mailer you already own.

On the numbers: buying raw at USPS commercial rates on the October 4, 2026 price list, a sub-pound Ground Advantage label is flat per zone, so 4 oz or 15.999 oz costs the same, $7.33 at zone 1 up to $8.95 at zone 8. Labels printed through I'd Ship That sit below that and still step down by ounce tier, from $5.63 under 4 oz through the 5-8 and 9-12 oz bands, so a lighter Depop item still prints cheaper.

Crossing 16 oz changes the math: 1 lb USPS Ground Advantage runs $8.01 to $11.22 at USPS commercial rates across zones 1 to 8, and in the app 1 lb labels start from $6.19. Just past 16 oz the app bills the 2 lb row, which on zones 1 to 5 costs no more than the 1 lb row. I'd Ship That prints discounted USPS and UPS labels, so a Depop seller can quote all three services against the same package before buying.

Your own label on Depop: where it is allowed and what it gives up

An item listed with Depop Shipping must go out on the label Depop generates. A label you buy yourself is only for a listing whose shipping method is your own shipping (shown as Other), where Depop requires tracked shipping and the tracking added to the receipt. Depop Protection for sellers covers only items sent on a Depop Shipping label, so an order shipped on your own label is outside it.

Buying your own label for a Depop order?

That applies only to Depop listings you set to your own shipping. An order shipped on your own label is outside Depop Protection for sellers. For those orders, compare USPS and UPS on the same parcel, see the full price before you buy, and print the label from your phone in about 30 seconds.

On your own label: USPS Ground Advantage (under 1 lb), from $5.63 Pro price.

  1. The order lands

    A Depop order you are allowed to label yourself gives you a destination and an item to pack.

  2. Weigh what you packed

    Packaging counts toward the weight, and on a light parcel a few ounces moves the tier.

  3. Rate-shop USPS and UPS

    Quote both carriers on that exact weight and destination, with the full price shown before you buy.

  4. Send the tracking back

    Print the label, drop off, and put the tracking number back into Depop.

How Shipping Works on Depop, and Where Your Own Label Fits

Depop gives a seller two shipping paths: a built-in USPS label priced from a preset weight tier, or your own shipping, where the seller sets the shipping price and buys the label independently, outside Depop Protection for sellers. The built-in path decides the carrier in advance, and that carrier is USPS.

Underneath, USPS bands the weight in two ranges: buying raw at USPS commercial rates, USPS Ground Advantage is flat below a pound, one price per zone from 0 to 15.999 oz, then switches to per-pound, per-zone pricing at 16 oz and up.

App labels sit below that raw commercial rate and their 4, 8 and 12 oz tiers still step down, from $5.63 under 4 oz. Because Depop is mostly lightweight secondhand clothing, most Depop orders live under that pound, and a Depop Shipping label is USPS, so it is never compared against UPS Ground.

Cost drivers

What Drives the Cost of Shipping a Depop Order

Depop prices its label from the parcel size picked at listing and its help centre publishes no price table, so the price for each size has to be checked in the Depop app
Depop's built-in labels are USPS only, so a UPS Ground quote on a heavy box exists only on your own shipping, which sits outside Depop Protection for sellers
Free USPS Priority Mail boxes cannot be used on a USPS Ground Advantage label, so the packaging sitting in most sellers' closets is the wrong packaging for the cheapest Depop service
Service picks

Which Service a Depop Order Should Use

ServiceBest ForEst. CostSpeed
USPS Ground Advantage (under 1 lb)Top Pick A single tee, top, hoodie, or accessory in a poly mailer: in the app the lightest ounce tier is cheapest, from $5.63 under 4 oz from $5.63 Pro price 2-5 days
USPS Ground Advantage (over 1 lb to 2 lb) A two-item Depop bundle just over a pound, at close zones, before per-pound pricing climbs from $6.19 Pro price 2-5 days
USPS Priority Mail / Flat Rate Padded Envelope Depop bundles past roughly 1-2 lb to far zones, or a buyer paying for faster delivery Quoted live 2-3 days
UPS Ground Heavy boxes on your own shipping. On published rates USPS Ground Advantage is lower at every zone through 5 lb, so pull a UPS quote on the heavier shoe boxes and multi-item vintage hauls Quoted live 1-5 days
Where the weight tier decides the price

Boxing a Depop garment instead of using a poly mailer adds 4-6 oz, which climbs the app's sub-pound ounce tiers and can push a near-pound order past 16 oz into per-pound pricing.

Through I'd Ship That at zone 4, a label you buy yourself costs $5.74 for a folded tee in a poly mailer (3.5 oz) and $6.64 for a hoodie in a poly mailer (15 oz), $0.90 more. A parcel of exactly 1 lb is its own tier ($6.65), too narrow to draw; anything over it bills on the 2 lb tier ($6.65). Applies only to Depop listings you set to your own shipping, not to an order shipped on a label from Depop. An order shipped on your own label is outside Depop Protection for sellers.

1One tee under 4 oz

USPS Ground Advantage, from $5.63

A single folded garment in a poly mailer is the standard Depop parcel. On your own shipping it prints from $5.63 in the app for anything under 4 oz, delivering in 2 to 5 days.

  • The poly mailer itself adds only about 0.5 to 1 oz.
  • Above 4 oz the app rate steps up through the 5-8 and 9-12 oz bands.
  • Buying raw at commercial rates the sub-pound price is flat per zone, $7.33 to $8.95 across zones 1 to 8.
  • Free USPS Priority Mail packaging cannot carry a Ground Advantage label.

2A 14 oz order packed in a box

The 16 oz line is one box away

A small cardboard box plus dunnage adds 4 to 6 oz. On a 14 oz garment that is enough to cross 16 oz and leave sub-pound pricing entirely.

  • Past 16 oz, USPS Ground Advantage switches to per-pound, per-zone pricing.
  • 1 lb labels in the app start from $6.19, against $5.63 under 4 oz.
  • A poly mailer costs the parcel about 0.5 to 1 oz instead of 4 to 6.
  • Reserve boxes for shoes and rigid items, where they earn the ounces.

3A two-item bundle just over 1 lb

From $6.19 at close zones

Once the bundle clears a pound, the zone starts doing the work. Ground Advantage stays the cheapest option into the first pound or two at close zones before per-pound pricing climbs.

  • Commercial 1 lb Ground Advantage runs $8.01 to $11.22 across zones 1 to 8.
  • App labels just over 1 lb start from $6.19 and scale by distance.
  • Weigh the packed bundle, since two items and a mailer add up faster than they look.
  • USPS Priority Mail becomes worth quoting once a buyer is paying for 2 to 3 day speed.

4A vintage haul past 2 lb to zone 5

Quote all three services before buying

Past roughly 2 lb and out to zone 5 or beyond, per-pound Ground Advantage climbs, so on an item listed with your own shipping the alternatives are worth pricing.

  • A Flat Rate Padded Envelope can land under per-pound Ground Advantage on a dense far-zone bundle; weight-based Priority Mail buys speed, not a lower price.
  • UPS Ground handles shoe boxes and multi-item hauls over about 2 lb at 1 to 5 days.
  • Depop's built-in labels are USPS, so UPS only appears on your own shipping.
  • The Workbench rate-shops a whole batch of Depop sales at once and batch-prints the stack.
On your own label

Buying Your Own Label for a Depop Order, and What It Gives Up

This path is for a Depop item listed with your own shipping: an item listed with Depop Shipping must go out on the label Depop generates, and only that label carries Depop Protection for sellers. A bundle that mixes Depop Shipping and own-shipping items is converted by Depop to Depop Shipping with one label for the whole bundle, so check the receipt first.

When an own-shipping sale comes in, copy the buyer's address from the order screen and open I'd Ship That. Entering the destination and the weight returns the exact zone-based price across USPS Ground Advantage, USPS Priority Mail, and UPS Ground with every fee shown before purchase.

For a single garment under a pound the USPS Ground Advantage label is priced by ounce tier, from $5.63 under 4 oz up to about $8 at the far zones near a pound. Weigh with the mailer on the scale: an order that reads 15 oz on the hanger but 17 oz in the box has already left sub-pound pricing. Buy the label, print it or hand the QR code over at the counter, and paste the tracking number back into Depop. A label is ready in about 30 seconds.

Seller habits

What Experienced Depop Sellers Do Differently

  • Depop's built-in label is USPS, so to put a Depop order on UPS Ground you have to list it with your own shipping and buy the label yourself, which leaves the sale outside Depop Protection for sellers
  • At the counter and on zones 6 to 8, the line that costs a Depop seller is 16 oz: a poly mailer adds 0.5-1 oz and a small box with dunnage adds 4-6 oz, so defaulting to boxes tips sub-pound items into per-pound pricing
  • Free USPS Priority Mail boxes are Priority Mail packaging only, so keep a stack of plain poly mailers for USPS Ground Advantage orders
  • Once a Depop bundle passes roughly 2 lb and ships to zone 5 or farther, quote USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground before buying USPS Ground Advantage
  • Scaling past a few Depop orders a day? The Workbench bulk imports sales, rate-shops the whole batch at once, and batch-prints the stack in one pass

Depop Shipping: Key Takeaways

  • Depop's built-in prepaid labels are USPS only; UPS is available on a Depop order only by listing with your own shipping and buying the label yourself, which puts the sale outside Depop Protection for sellers.
  • USPS Ground Advantage, not USPS Priority Mail, is the cheaper service for the sub-pound clothing that makes up most Depop orders, from $5.63 in the app under 4 oz.
  • 16 oz is the line: above it USPS Ground Advantage switches to per-pound, per-zone pricing, and 1 lb app labels start from $6.19.
  • Free USPS Priority Mail packaging may only be used for Priority Mail, so a Depop Ground Advantage order needs a plain box, poly mailer, or padded mailer.
  • Past roughly 2 lb to zone 5 or beyond, quote USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground against USPS Ground Advantage before buying.

Does Depop Use USPS or UPS, and When Does UPS Win?

Depop's built-in prepaid labels are USPS. When a Depop seller buys shipping inside the app, Depop assigns a USPS label from a preset weight tier, so the carrier is decided in advance and UPS never appears as a choice. Selecting your own shipping at listing time returns that decision to the seller: the label is bought independently and the Depop order can go out on USPS Ground Advantage, USPS Priority Mail, or UPS Ground, though Depop Protection for sellers then no longer covers the sale.

One Depop order, two ways its label gets bought

The label is bought independently, so the Depop order can go out on any of three services. Add the tracking number to the receipt when it ships. Depop Protection for sellers does not cover it.

  • USPS Ground Advantage
  • USPS Priority Mail
  • UPS® Ground

UPS Ground rarely wins a Depop order on price: on published rates it sits above Ground Advantage at every zone through 5 lb and first drops below it at 7 lb to zone 8, past most shoe boxes and multi-item vintage hauls. Under a pound, where most Depop clothing sits, USPS Ground Advantage is almost always the cheaper label. I'd Ship That prints discounted USPS and UPS labels, so a Depop seller can quote both carriers against the same package and see the fees before committing to either.

  • A Depop-generated label is a USPS label, so the parcel travels on USPS no matter where it is handed off.
  • To ship a Depop order with UPS Ground, list it with your own shipping and buy a tracked UPS label; Depop Protection for sellers covers only Depop Shipping labels.
  • Under 1 lb, USPS Ground Advantage beats UPS Ground on nearly every Depop garment, so the UPS question only matters on bundles and shoes.

Is a Depop Label Priority Mail or USPS Ground Advantage?

A Depop prepaid label is not a service the seller picks. Depop prices it from a preset weight tier and issues a USPS label, and its help pages neither name the USPS service nor describe a Priority Mail upgrade. On your own shipping the service becomes the seller's choice, and for the sub-pound clothing that makes up most of Depop, USPS Ground Advantage is the cheaper of the two: from $5.63 in the app for a garment under 4 oz, delivering in 2-5 days.

USPS Priority Mail earns its higher price on a Depop order in two situations. The buyer is paying for speed and wants 2-3 day delivery, or the order is a bundle past roughly 1-2 lb heading to a far zone, where per-pound USPS Ground Advantage pricing climbs and a Flat Rate Padded Envelope can land under it. Below a pound, buying USPS Priority Mail for a folded tee is margin a Depop seller gives away on every order.

  • Sub-pound Depop garment: USPS Ground Advantage, 2-5 days, from $5.63 in the app under 4 oz.
  • Bundle past roughly 1-2 lb to a far zone: quote USPS Priority Mail and the Flat Rate Padded Envelope.
  • Buyer paying for speed: USPS Priority Mail at 2-3 days is the upgrade, chosen on your own shipping.

Which Boxes and Mailers You Can Use for a Depop Order

Free USPS Priority Mail boxes and envelopes may only be used for USPS Priority Mail, so a Depop seller cannot pack a USPS Ground Advantage order in a Priority Mail Flat Rate box. USPS supplies no free packaging for USPS Ground Advantage: any plain box, poly mailer, or padded mailer already in the house is eligible, provided nothing printed on it advertises a different service.

Which packaging each label may ship in
PackagingPriority Mail labelGround Advantage label
Free USPS Priority Mail box or envelope Allowed Not allowed
A plain box you already have Allowed Allowed
A poly or padded mailer Allowed Allowed
Free Priority Mail packaging is for Priority Mail labels only. A Ground Advantage label ships in plain packaging with nothing printed on it that advertises a different service.

For Depop's clothing mix the packaging choice is also a pricing choice. A poly mailer adds roughly 0.5-1 oz to the scale; a small box plus dunnage adds 4-6 oz. In the app the 4, 8 and 12 oz USPS Ground Advantage tiers still step up, so a box charges a Depop seller twice: once by moving the order into a higher tier, and again, at the counter or on zones 6 to 8, if it tips a 14 or 15 oz garment past 16 oz into per-pound pricing.

  • Poly mailer for anything foldable: tees, tops, knitwear, denim, accessories.
  • Plain box or your own padded mailer for shoes, rigid items, and anything crushable.
  • USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate packaging only when the label bought is a Priority Mail Flat Rate label.

Under 1 lb, Your Own Depop Label Is Priced by Zone and Ounce Tier

Two numbers set the price of a sub-pound label you buy yourself for a Depop order: the destination zone and the ounce tier. (A Depop Shipping label is priced by Depop from the parcel size instead.) Buying raw at USPS commercial rates on the October 4, 2026 price list the ounce tier drops out, because USPS Ground Advantage is flat below a pound at $7.33 for zone 1 up to $8.95 for zone 8. Labels printed through I'd Ship That are not that raw rate; their 4, 8 and 12 oz tiers still step down from $5.63 under 4 oz, so both numbers still move a Depop seller's cost.

Weigh the three or four items a Depop shop sells most, mailer included. A folded tee in a poly mailer at 4 oz or under prints from $5.63, and one that reads 5-6 oz sits in the next band, from $5.86; a hoodie at 9-13 oz lands a tier or two up; a two-item bundle creeps toward a pound where per-pound pricing takes over. The item to watch is the 14-15 oz piece, where one extra hangtag pushes it past 16 oz.

  • Record each Depop staple's weight with the mailer on the scale, not the garment alone.
  • Lighter packaging can still trim the app's sub-pound label price, even though the raw commercial rate below a pound is flat.
  • Flag any Depop item within an ounce or two of 16 oz and quote it both ways: per-pound pricing costs more at the counter, and in the app a parcel past 16 oz costs up to $1.87 more on zones 6 to 8, against up to $0.01 on zones 1 to 5.

Where a Depop Bundle Leaves Sub-Pound Pricing at 16 oz

Bundling is where Depop margin is won or lost, because a two- or three-item order is exactly where sub-pound pricing stops applying. A single 15.999 oz hoodie still prints at the app's top sub-pound tier; add a tee, cross 16 oz, and the order moves to per-pound, per-zone pricing, where the app's 2 lb row starts from $6.19, no more than the 1 lb row on zones 1 to 5. That crossing is the moment to rate-shop.

Zone 13 to 15.999 oz Just over 1 lb
Zone 1 $6.18 $6.19
Zone 2 $6.18 $6.19
Zone 3 $6.48 $6.49
Zone 4 $6.64 $6.65
Zone 5 $7.67 $7.68
Zone 6 $7.75 $8.17
Zone 7 $7.95 $8.27
Zone 8 $8.28 $10.15
Lower price in that zone Higher price in that zone
Through I'd Ship That, USPS Ground Advantage, Pro prices. Crossing 16 oz costs $0.01 to $1.87 more on zones 1 to 8; just over a pound bills on the 2 lb row.

The working rule for a Depop bundle: past roughly 2 lb and heading to zone 5 or beyond, quote USPS Ground Advantage against USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground, because per-pound USPS to a far zone can lose to a Flat Rate Padded Envelope. Weight does not track price cleanly either, so a 4 lb box to a near zone can print below a 1 lb box to a far one.

  • Treat 16 oz as the line where sub-pound Depop pricing ends and per-pound pricing begins.
  • For Depop bundles over roughly 2 lb to zone 5 and beyond, quote USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground alongside USPS Ground Advantage.
  • Shoe boxes and heavy vintage are the Depop orders where a UPS Ground quote is most worth pulling.

Common Mistakes Depop Sellers Make

MistakeWhy It HurtsBetter Approach
Boxing soft Depop clothing that belongs in a poly mailer A box plus dunnage adds 4-6 oz, which can move a light item into a higher sub-pound ounce tier and, on a 14 or 15 oz garment, tip it past 16 oz into per-pound pricing. Default to poly mailers for anything foldable and reserve boxes for shoes and rigid items.
Packing a Ground Advantage order in a free Priority Mail box Free USPS Priority Mail packaging is licensed for Priority Mail only, so using it on a USPS Ground Advantage label is a misuse of carrier-supplied supplies. Keep plain poly mailers and unbranded boxes on hand for USPS Ground Advantage, and reserve Priority Mail supplies for Priority Mail labels.
Assuming ounces stopped mattering because the raw commercial rate went flat Buying raw at commercial rates sub-pound pricing is flat, but the app's 4, 8 and 12 oz tiers still step down from $5.63, so a Depop seller who stops weighing gives back the light-item discount. Keep weighing every Depop order; trimming a bulky mailer or an extra hangtag can still lower the app's sub-pound tier.
Leaving Depop bundles on Ground Advantage past 2 lb to far zones Per-pound USPS Ground Advantage to zone 5 and beyond can cost more than a Flat Rate Padded Envelope, so habit overspends on the heaviest orders. Quote USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground once a Depop bundle clears roughly 2 lb and zone 5, or let Ship Intelligence do it.

Depop Seller Shipping Checklist

  • Weigh the top Depop items with the mailer on the scale and confirm each sits comfortably under a pound.
  • Save each staple as a package profile so the rate is set before the sale, not guessed after it.
  • Stock plain poly mailers so foldable Depop clothing stays under 16 oz and out of free Priority Mail packaging.
  • Treat 16 oz as the rate-shop line; past 2 lb and zone 5, quote USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground.
  • Before listing an item with your own shipping, remember it needs tracked shipping and sits outside Depop Protection for sellers.
  • Past a few Depop orders a day, move bulk fulfillment to The Workbench and let Ship Intelligence pick the cheapest valid rate.

Worked Depop Seller Shipment Examples

Folded tee, poly mailer, packed weight 3.5 oz. This is the cheapest shape a Depop order takes, and it prints from $5.63 in the app.

  • Under 4 oz is the lowest app band, from $5.63.
  • Buying raw at commercial rates the same parcel is flat per zone, $7.33 to $8.95 across zones 1 to 8.
  • Transit is 2 to 5 days on USPS Ground Advantage.
  • Swapping the poly mailer for a box would add 4 to 6 oz and climb two bands.

The hoodie plus a poly mailer weighs 15 oz and stays sub-pound. The same hoodie in a small box with dunnage lands at 19 to 21 oz and changes pricing systems.

  • At 15 oz it prices in the 13-15.999 oz app band, still sub-pound.
  • At 16 oz it moves to per-pound, per-zone pricing, from $6.19 in the app.
  • Commercial 1 lb Ground Advantage runs $8.01 to $11.22 across zones 1 to 8.
  • The 4 to 6 oz the box adds is the entire difference.

Two knits and a pair of jeans, packed at 2.4 lb, heading across the country. Past 2 lb to a far zone the per-pound curve is steep enough to make the other two services worth pricing.

  • Per-pound Ground Advantage climbs with both the weight and the zone here.
  • A USPS Flat Rate Padded Envelope ignores the zone, which is the point on a far lane.
  • UPS Ground covers the same box in 1 to 5 days and is worth a quote at this weight.
  • Built-in Depop labels are USPS, so this comparison only exists on your own shipping.

Depop Shipping: Questions Sellers Ask

Depop's built-in prepaid labels are USPS. Depop assigns them from a preset weight tier, so UPS never appears as an option inside the app. Listing with your own shipping hands the decision back to the seller, who can then put the Depop order on USPS Ground Advantage, USPS Priority Mail, or UPS Ground, but Depop Protection for sellers covers only orders sent on a Depop Shipping label. I'd Ship That prints discounted USPS and UPS labels for exactly that path. Other resale platforms handle labels their own way: Vinted supplies a prepaid label, US Grailed orders ship on a required Grailed Label, and an Etsy seller can buy the label on or off Etsy.

A Depop prepaid label is a USPS label priced from a preset weight tier, not a service the seller selects, and Depop's help pages do not say which USPS service it travels on. On your own shipping most Depop clothing goes cheapest on USPS Ground Advantage, from $5.63 in the app for a garment under 4 oz, delivering in 2-5 days. USPS Priority Mail at 2-3 days is the faster upgrade you choose yourself.

With Depop Shipping, Depop calculates the shipping price from the parcel size chosen at listing and the buyer pays it unless the seller discounts it; Depop's help centre publishes no price table, so check each size in the Depop app. The figures here are for a label you buy yourself on an item listed with your own shipping, which sits outside Depop Protection for sellers. That label, under 1 lb, prints from $5.63 through I'd Ship That on USPS Ground Advantage for a garment under 4 oz, stepping up through the 5-8 and 9-12 oz bands. Buying raw at USPS commercial rates on the October 4, 2026 price list a sub-pound label is flat per zone, $7.33 at zone 1 up to $8.95 at zone 8. At 1 lb, app labels start from $6.19.

Free USPS Priority Mail boxes and envelopes are Priority Mail packaging only, so a Depop seller cannot pack a USPS Ground Advantage order in one. USPS supplies no free Ground Advantage packaging: use any plain box, poly mailer, or padded mailer you already own. For foldable clothing a poly mailer also adds only about 0.5-1 oz versus 4-6 oz for a box plus dunnage.

A Depop prepaid label is a USPS label, so it cannot be converted to FedEx. Shipping a Depop order with FedEx means listing it with your own shipping, buying a tracked FedEx label directly from FedEx, and giving up Depop Protection for sellers, which covers only Depop Shipping labels. I'd Ship That prints discounted USPS and UPS labels; FedEx is covered here for comparison and is not sold through I'd Ship That.

USPS prices by total package weight, and packaging counts toward it. A poly mailer adds about 0.5-1 oz; a small cardboard box plus dunnage adds 4-6 oz. In the app the 4, 8 and 12 oz USPS Ground Advantage tiers still step up, so that packaging can push a light Depop item into a higher band, and it can tip a 14 or 15 oz garment past 16 oz into per-pound pricing, which costs more at the counter and on zones 6 to 8 in the app.

On price, rarely. On published rates (the USPS commercial price list effective October 4, 2026 and UPS daily rates) USPS Ground Advantage is lower than USPS Priority Mail at every weight and zone, and lower than UPS Ground at every zone through 5 lb. A 2 lb box to zone 5 is $10.50 on Ground Advantage, $14.02 on Priority Mail, and $15.79 on the UPS Ground published daily rate. Move off it for speed, for a dense bundle that fits a Flat Rate Padded Envelope to a far zone, or for a heavy box: the UPS Ground daily rate is lower at zone 8 from 7 lb and at every zone from 22 lb. Quote all three in I'd Ship That; Ship Intelligence picks the cheapest valid rate automatically.

Yes. I'd Ship That has native iOS and Android apps plus a web version, so a Depop seller can weigh, rate-shop, and buy from a phone. Each purchase returns a printable label file or a QR code for counter drop-off, which fits how most Depop sellers work between other jobs. I'd Ship That holds a 4.8 rating.

No. Creating an I'd Ship That account is free and a Depop seller pays per label bought, at rates below retail. On the free Starter plan, each label adds a platform fee of about 10% of the postage, rounded to the nearest $0.25, at least $0.50 and at most $2.50. An optional paid Pro plan removes that fee and adds The Workbench for bulk import and batch printing plus Ship Intelligence for automatic rate selection, which matter once daily order volume grows.
