Overall, I really enjoy using shipstation for my shipping needs. It's easy to keep track of order, track the orders, send communication about orders to customers, and access labels.

Pros

I like how easy it is to collect order, print the labels, and get items shipped out. It was also really easy to purchase a label if needed.

Cons

I cannot think of a feature I didn't like about Shipstation.

Never trust customer service

Reviewed on 21/10/2024

Pros

Integrates very well with other sites and plugins. Setup was not terrible to do. Fulfillment is much easier then other companies we have used in the past.

Cons

Customer service was horrible! They are hard to get a hold of and when you do they cannot solve the issue most of the time. When you do get a hold of them, they give you a run around with no actual help. Constant issues with address and labels.

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 find it easy to use and a great way to have all of your marketplaces centralized to assist your shipping team or your customers, we have various ways to locate an order and edit it to our needs.

Pros

Once you do your basic set up you can start to keep track of your orders and for a long time, we can go back and edit orders from years back in case something new pops up with customer service

Cons

Since it is a web page it can fail and make your process stop.Sometimes the cache on your account makes it slow to check on order if you have high volume (customer support can assist on this).now that they are testing their new look sometims old SS can be hard to work and you ahve to go to the new look, and viceversa.

If we can work out the Kinks with Ship From Locations we will be able to easily ship to multiple supported carriers without additional development time for unique integrations from each company into our Custom Order Entry Software.

Pros

Initially Importing Orders with little setup time using the XML integration helped us import orders using our custom Order Entry Program in a two-day time frame. It is also easy to add in supported carriers providing you have the required information. Automatic Notifications and returns support is a great added feature.

Cons

The missing value for B2B customers is missing support for Blind Shipping, in our case, we only update the company name in the ship at this time which we are unable to do in ShipSttion, the recommended workaround was to re-enter 2500+ resellers in each location as a unique Ship From Location. (We have 3) Alternatively we can tax our shipping employee with entering them with each new shipment. Otherwise, I think the lack of bulk importing these Ship From Locations makes things a little worse off. I am hopeful that more features will be released with B2B and Dropship customers in mind.

Totally necessary for our small business to ship our cosmetic products with ShipStation. Couldn't have run our business without it.

Pros

I loved how easily it integrated with our Squarespace shop. We used Shipstation to print labels and to manage which orders we shipped. The label-making was flexible enough for us and let us be a little custom with a brand logo. Was also great how it worked with UPS, FedEx, and all the other shipping types. Customer service was always quite helpful and easy to access.

Cons

I remember going back a forth a lot between Shipstation and Squarespace and wishing more was integrated into Shipstation so that I could just stay on that platform.

Started good and has quickly gone down hill...

Pros

ShipStation has been pretty easy to use but we have been having the same issue for over 7 months now, with no resolution or sense of urgency from customer service.

Cons

We have been having the same issue with no resolution in 7 months. The additional insurance cost to a FedEx label does not properly translate over to our operating system. The wait time to get what ShipStation calls a "bug", has been absolutely absurd. We haven't received a solution from anyone, meanwhile this has caused accounting issues and additional headaches that a small business shouldn't have to go through. We are already looking for a replacement service.

Pros

Cons

Horrible customer service. They don’t answer phone. Website terribly confusing and difficult to use on IPhone The free trial is a lure as you must give a credit card .Sales rep didn’t mention you must cancel on their website which is difficult and requires multiple steps. Canceling by email or message to rep or customer service WONT get you cancelled and your credit card charged. There notifications go to spam . They quoted the wrong charges and didn’t mention u don’t get a tracking number so if you do business on EBay you’ll be dinged.They lie to avoid responsibility for their shortcomings ie 90 day free cancel period… they didn’t honor claiming I used their service after the 90 days.. bold faced lie. STAY AWAY

Room for Improvement on what could be a great product

Reviewed on 29/03/2023

Pros

It has a fairly easy operating face that makes training simple. Easy and simple shipments rarely if ever, have issues.

Cons

There is nowhere to be able to input a weight of a shipping carton itself to help with calculations of when something will be too heavy to go via a certain shipping services which has led to some overcharging later down the road. There are several features that have been requested through the threads that devs neither respond to, nor seem inclined to implement. To use all the possible features, you have to switch back and forth between the old layout and new layout, and this is not a simple toggle feature.
