Enter a ZIP and get the real UPS Ground rate for a case of empty clear cans, from the same rate engine checkout uses. No email, no quote request, no waiting.

Example rates by region

One case of 100 sixteen-ounce cans, shipped UPS Ground. Zones count outward from the East Coast origin; per-case pricing keeps the spread tight, so most of the country lands within a few dollars of the same rate.

Common questions

How much does it cost to ship a case of empty cans?

Typically $12 to $30 per case in the continental US, depending on distance from the East Coast origin and whether the address carries a UPS delivery area surcharge. The calculator on this page returns the exact rate for your ZIP.

Why does can shipping cost so much for something so light?

Empty cans are dimensional freight: a 100-can case is a big, light box, and carriers bill light boxes by size rather than weight. That is also why per-case rates drop meaningfully when cases ship together on one order.

Is this estimate what I would actually pay?

Yes. The estimator calls the same deterministic rate engine that prices shipping at checkout, so the number here matches the number on your order for the same destination and quantity.

Does the machine ship free?

Yes, every seamer ships free anywhere in the US. Shipping applies to cases of cans only, and custom printed can runs include their freight in the quoted per-can price.

Do rural addresses cost more?

Sometimes. UPS applies a delivery area surcharge to certain ZIP codes, and the estimator includes it automatically when your ZIP carries one.
