What Merchants Think

Overall, merchants have mixed feelings about ShipStation. It receives praise for its functionality in streamlining shipping processes across multiple platforms, but it is also criticized for technical issues and poor customer service. Many users appreciate its user-friendly interface, efficient order management, and the time it saves them in the shipping process, while others report frequent bugs, billing issues, and lose faith in its support system.

Key Strengths

  • Seamless integration with multiple sales platforms (e.g., Shopify, Etsy)
  • User-friendly interface that enables efficient order management
  • Automation features that save time and streamline the shipping workflow
  • Ability to manage multiple sales channels on one platform
  • Helpful customer service, usually via specific representatives who go above and beyond

Common Concerns

  • Poor customer service and support response times
  • Buggy and sometimes unreliable app performance
  • Billing issues, including overcharging and unauthorized charges
  • Troubles with specific integrations, such as with Shopify
  • Concerns about recent decreases in app reliability compared to past performance

Final Thoughts

ShipStation is highly valued for its ability to integrate multiple sales platforms and automate shipping processes, saving time and effort for businesses. However, frequent technical issues and criticism of customer support have diminished its reputation among some users. For those who come to rely on its functionalities, it is a powerful tool, though prospective users should be cautious and aware of its limitations.

Stancey was a great help, when I was paying to much for my subscription , she advised me what the different plans were, and made sure I was on the right plan! Also made sure that every thing was working for me. Best part is that she reached out to me without me having to call Shipstation. Love Shipstation as it lets me customize my shipping labels with my logo and slogan. A+

I run multiple Shopify sites and having all the dispatch/shipping co-ordinated in one place makes my life so much easier.

Great tools, and great rep Stancey. She reached out personally and helped resolve some problems. Shipstation is a huge help however it is fairly difficult to setup all your automation rules. Once you set up your automation rules, then you are off to the races. Thank you.

Shipstation made it extremely easy for us to ship many orders at once with only a few clicks. If your business is like ours and you often ship more than 20 orders a day, I would highly recommend Shipstation. Once item weights were inputed into Shopify, and automation rules were set in Shipstation, we were able to save at least an hour of work each day in the shipping process. Not to mention the low rates Shipstation offers. By the end of the 30-day trial, I was relieved to have found this app. : )

Update: The only response I've gotten from ShipStation was because of this review. I still haven't heard back from anyone about my problem in most of a week. Seems they care more about how they look than how they actually do their jobs. It keeps getting more expensive, while the service keeps getting worse. I've been three days without the ability to create labels, and I still can't figure out if any of the support staff (who appear to be farmed out to a 3rd party now) have even used the software before. Not only did my fees DOUBLE for using my own carrier accounts, but the service and support are 1/10th of what they used to be. This is the worst way to spend your money. Find something else. Im cancelling and moving to Ordoro. Update: After 2 weeks of outage my issue was finally resolved and we were able to create labels again with the carrier we have the best agreement with. We lost ~$3000 in increased shipping costs in this window of time. Shipstation was gracious enough to provide us with a $400 credit to make up for this.... Responses were slow, and we were more or less left completely in the dark on what was going on, or what discoveries were made. We were never provided with a reason for the outage. We are still working to migrate away from ShipStation at this point.

Stancey was extremely helpful and even followed up with me to make sure everything was working well and going fine. Definitely would recommend getting in contact with her if possible!

We migrated 2 months ago and immediately shaved hours off of our order fulfillment process. It used to take on average about 6 hours from reviewing orders to having the last one packed, we've gotten that down to about 2.5 hours through the use of pick lists, having labels printed by SKU and being able to quickly price shipping and print in bulk. ShipStation pays for itself through saved labor hours.

Choose this app because it is used by many big brands, the price was right, and the integration between multiple selling platforms is perfect. Saves me so much time and money when it comes to shipping.
