Please Note: If you do not already have an easypost account, please ensure that you sign up to your account via your Expandly account and by following the above steps. By signing up on easypost.com directly, this will not create the account free of charge and you may be charged by easypost to create the account and create labels. 

5. Once you have created your easypost account, you can add the required carrier accounts to easypost by clicking on your email address (top left) and then from the drop-down, select Carriers:
