# Retrieve Shipment Rates

When you [rate multiple shipments](/rate-shopping#rate-multiple-shipments), ShipStation returns a list of rates with information about each one, such as the costs and the estimated delivery date. Each of these rates is specific to the shipment information provided in the rate request.

ShipStation stores this shipment information as a `shipment` object and each rate is associated with a `shipment_id`. You can then retrieve the rates later using this `shipment_id`.

## Example Request & Response

**GET /v2/shipments/:shipment_id/rates**

This example retrieves the rates for "shipment_id": `se-2102034` (see line 3 of the example response).


```http
GET /v2/shipments/se-2102034/rates HTTP/1.1
Host: api.shipstation.com
API-Key: __YOUR_API_KEY_HERE__
```

**Example Response**

The response includes a list of rates for "shipment_id": `se-2102034`. Each rate includes a `rate_id` that you can use to [create a label](/create-labels).

Due to the length of the response, we have truncated this example to only show a single rate.
