I used ShipStation for a couple years until they added postage fees to my account that were not for my shipments and wouldn't help me resolve it.

Pros

I liked that I could integrate ShipStation with my SquareSpace website and easily print postage for orders.

Cons

The customer service and follow up could use some improvement.

I've worked with shipsation for 4 years, it's a horrendous program and I hate it with every fiber of my being.

Pros

The layout is pretty, I like the color green.

Cons

Cannot select cheapest shipping option quickly.
Bugs go unfixed for months and customer service is abysmal.
Cannot split orders automatically.

We love it …my sales team uses it. I use it. I track with it. We use it each day. We save money with it. It’s pretty user friendly. Can’t live without it now.

Pros

It’s pretty awesome. We had trouble before we found this with high shipping rates. This product saved us money and gave us a great way to manage and integrate all our shipping and orders. We are grateful.

Cons

Nothing. Even the customer service chat is good - ideally I’d like a phone number for customer service but that’s ok.

It's been working, but so many features are not implemented well. They do not listen to the community when it comes to improvement/needs. Some missing features from the new version that are necessary for an efficient workflow.
It's really easy to make a mistake while shipping/combining and there's no way to undo the mistake without crazy work arounds. They took a working program and turned it into garbage.

Pros

The only option I can find that integrates into our workflow

Cons

New version broke a lot of the necessary features I need

Pros

Great when it worked. Best when I could use my own carrier without selling my firstborn.

Cons

No support. Literally ignored community posts and feedback for years and years. Not so much as an acknowledgement. Currently facing two MAJOR bugs preventing me from using their product and fulfilling my orders without tons of manual intervention. 3+ months and NO response. I am pretty sure they are failing and going bankrupt, suckering people out of as much money as possible before they completely fail.

It works fine - Integrates with everything really well

Reviewed on 15/02/2024

Pros

It integrates with everything we need - far more than any other tool

It also provides the best out of the box reporting of any tool

Cons

Some of the functionality is just kind of weird compared to other tools we've used. Most of it is quite similar, but we run into things that aren't great from a user experience standpoint ocassionally.

I would stay away from them completely unless they hire new staff and rebuild their software and their customer support team. They are unresponsive, lack knowledge, and always point their finger at someone else as the root cause of the issue, even when it ultimately comes down to their poorly written software.

Pros

When we implemented it, it was a big step up from ShippingEasy in terms of feature set and ease of use.

Cons

Their software is not updated in a timely manner, so when Shopify makes an update , ShipStation no longer works and you are sitting waiting for 6+ months for them to actually fix it so that you can get orders out without the fear that things are not going to work.
