- Discounted courier rates depend on Easyship's negotiated carrier relationships, which vary by region and may not beat a merchant's own carrier account rates.
- Advanced features like tax/duty display at checkout and multi-box shipping are gated behind higher-tier paid plans.
- 24/7 phone support is only available on the Premier plan and above, leaving lower-tier users with limited support channels.
