Absolutely stay away unless you have no choice. We pay $40 a month for this app and over the last 2 months it has been comically bad. The mobile scan sheet never loads when I go to the post office, which results in lost packages, lately it has trouble pulling rates for common carriers like USPS, the mobile app often won't even let you login, and today I cannot even access the app or website to ship out customer's order. Ship station needs to take a look at their product quality. This was once a great app and now its almost not even usable. I feel robbed given how much we pay for this and how many issues we had during the holiday season....

Absolutely, unequivocally a 0 star experience. We are a former customer who used Shipstation for years through 2022, and attempted to reinitiate service 11/2024 with no success and ABSOLUTELY no assistance from Shipstation Support. I would be extremely confident in stating that there is no service. "Chat" (unless you have their highest tiered service) is an unhelpful AI that simply reroutes you to their support pages; thereafter, when one of their "support" members initiates the chat, it is often in the middle of the night when we are asleep in the US. If you do not respond right away, they close out your ticket. For the 3 representatives from which I attempted to get any kind of help reinitiating my account and Shopify store, they ALL rerouted me to their support pages, even when I gave them screenshots of the error (broken token from my store) and informed each new representative of all futile past attempts at assistance. We are a former customer of Shipstation, and they used to have superior service. It is unfortunate to say that no longer exists, and I cannot recommend anyone to their service. I canceled my unused - yet twice billed - account today. I have attempted to get my account working since late November 2024 to no avail. This is truly a shame and I'd say stay far, far, far away.

Worked great for a few days, bought several hundred dollars of labels and then ceased letting me add credit. Support told me to create a stamps.com account which is insane given that I don't want to pay two monthly fees for two accounts when ShipStation is owned by Stamps.com

What seems to have started with the right foot forward, has turned to be a nightmare. The only reason I'm leaving a 1 star review is because I can't go lower. I'm on the paid version still on trial, and despite over a week of back and forth with not 1 but 3 support agents plus some others from Shopify, it seems no one can figure out why Shopify isn't connecting to ShipStation. Frustrated of the lack of knowledge on ShipStation's part pointing fingers at Shopify doesn't begin to express it. I will change my review once I can get someone knowledgeable enough to figure this out, as it seems the people in support have no clue what's happening.

I’ve been using ShipStation for the past six months and have really enjoyed it—until I ran into a major issue two days ago that was preventing me from purchasing labels. It seemed like a unique problem, and I wasn’t sure they’d be able to find a solution. I was just about to make the decision to permanently switch away from ShipStation. However, Gabriela R., my implementation manager from six months ago, dedicated two full days to resolving the issue and found a solution. I’m incredibly grateful for the level of dedication and support they provide through employees like her.

Shipstation support is a joke. They are foolish, ignorant, and will waste your time with multiple basic responses that are as useless as asking if the computer is turned on... IYKYK. Unfortunately this is NOT a 1 time occurrence, it is the norm. For example, I submitted a bug report where the packing slip is literally printing the words "[notes from buyer]" instead of the actual notes from buyer field contents for random orders. I submitted PICTURES of an actual printed packing slip of what it looks like when it generates correctly, and another picture of what it looks like with incorrect generation. I pay extra for an upgraded plan to be able to customize my packing slips. I created this packing slip about 8+ YEARS ago. Shipstations response? Their "answer" is that they do not help with HTML. Uuuuuhm NO this is NOT an HTML issue whatsoever, and they'd know this if they looked at my example pictures even just once. JUST ONCE. LOOK. AT. THE. PICTURES! If I did the HTML wrong I would not have an example of a correct packing slip generation, right? This is just ONE packing slip template that's affected, and it's random orders. But it'll be a miracle if I have to waste less than 10 emails just to get them to even check out the bug. The crazy thing is that back in the day, around 10+ years ago an English speaking USA based support rep used to pick up the phone and call you. Imagine that!

ShipStation helps us manage multiple sales channels on one shipping platform. The integrations are smooth, and when we needed help, the account setup assistance was amazing! We have been able to streamline so many SOPs and our quick shipping department is now scary fast and accurate. A+

As a small business startup, navigating shipping platforms can be overwhelming, but Joey from ShipStation made it a breeze! He took the time to explain everything in detail and even sent me helpful videos. His exceptional support went above and beyond my expectations. Joey truly restored my faith that there are still good people out there providing amazing customer service. I highly recommend Joey and the ShipStation app for anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly solution!

The integration is straight-forward but lacks the ability to configure it to specific needs. For example, we operate a warehouse that both ships and provides for local pickup. The integration will not import anything without a shipping address, so we can't use it for operations (only shipping). Additionally, the frequency of sync is variable. It is fast in the morning, but slow in the afternoon (busy time). You can manually sync, but again that isn't a good operational solution.

This is the 3rd shipping platform I've used with Shopify. ShipStation is by far the best. All of the big shipping platforms contract for very similar rates, so for me its not about saving money. ShipStations support is where they shine. I've never had an outage for more than an hour or so and have never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes to talk to support, even on weekends or off hours.

WORST customer service. Shipstation worked great till they switched to Parcel Guard. They ended up costing us thousands of dollars in damages for one shipment. We have double automatic insurance rules on our account, but what they don't advertise is that if you ship more than one package in a shipment, they automatically turn off your insurance. Been back and forth with customer service for months over the issue. Cancelled our account because of how much money we lost. Said they were going to give us a refund, went silent for weeks, stopped responding to our emails then a new support person popped back in after we cancelled and said sorry to see you go and no refund.

Terrible integration with Shopify. - If an order is edited (products change, address updated, notes added etc) that edit in Shopify does not flow over to Shipstation. So as a small business owner I need to make the edits twice. - I have two different warehouses and Shopifys split shipping is not supported as an integration with Shipstation. - I have an app on Shopify that makes beautiful, branded packing slips and invoices. But these do not travel over to Shipstation so my packages have this totally mediocre packing slip thats not on-brand for my upscale company. - I sell wholesale on Faire and while Faire and Shopify integrate beautifully when the orders flow through to Shipstation they are all screwed up with testers not registering properly and discounts showing up in a very confusing way. So every time I get a wholesale order through Faire I need to manually email them the packing slip so they can pick and fill correctly. I love my warehouse but wish they did not need to use Shipstation. I feel Shipstation does not care one bit about the business using Shopify, only about the warehouses.

Shipstation used to be amazing. It's still decent but lately they have had constant bugs, lag times, down times, stuff doesn't sync right. It's still worth the money but barely.

Absolutely love ShipStation! It has streamlined my shipping process and saved me so much time. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to manage orders, and the integration with various platforms is seamless. Customer support is also top-notch—always quick to help. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to simplify their shipping! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
