Dropex vs. Easyship vs. ShipStation

Dropex suits retailers who want to expand on [the] new market using free of charge software from the first step to integrate it with [their] own CRM or e-commerce shop.

Depending on the client's needs, the EasyShip app is free and integration is super fast. We always recommend a shipping plugin to keep rates accurate and costs in line. Clients love when their shipping costs and postage match up. We strive to be sure they have a good solution to keep their stores on track.

I do - and have - recommended them to other businesses. If they had taken care of the USPS pickup option and started supporting Rollo printers again I would have given them a 10. But a year with no resolution is unacceptable. Everything else about them is excellent. When I do have issues I'm usually able to contact someone via live chat and get it resolved. They are glitchy on occasion, but what piece of modern technology isn't.

• Fast customer support
• Different reports export
• Easy API integration

• Calculate shipping rates
• Provide accurate results

Incentivized

• Integration: It works so well I forget that it is a 3rd party solution sometimes.
• Automation: You can set nested rules based on order details, really cutting down on the little things that slow down your fulfillment process.
• Management: We almost never log into the admin side of BigCommerce thanks to ShipStation. ShipStation handles all of our day-to-day needs.

Incentivized

• They can add more shipping options
• They can add more e-commerce platforms

• For years users have requested UPS End of Day Report for Driver to Scan. Shipstation Refuses to offer this and it means that Claims with the carrier are next to impossible to process as there is no PROOF the carrier received your package.
• Customer Service is Seriously Lacking within the last 6-12 months. Repeated outages, problems, and their front-tier support has no insight as to how long the system will be down. Poor Response times for even the most basic of issues such as error logs so our cart can troubleshoot from their end.
• The Status Page is inaccurate. 5 of the last 6 times when we had major issues their status page shows as 100%. Not a reliable gauge of up-time.

Great tool for shipping solution, no issues with install or training, very easy system to use

Its a very quick platform and being web based it does not require install for say viewing order's shipping status. For the shipping itself, there is a app that grabs data in near real time. Its an easy install and I have had next to no issues with the shipping aspect of the app.

Incentivized

Most issues can be resolved online. We have not had to call in for assistance in 5 years of using the plugin.

I have quarterly calls with my account rep to discuss metrics and performance to ensure we are remaining consistent without fulfillment and transit times. He is super friendly and knowledgable. Whenever I have questions, if he can't answer them himself, he gets me in contact with the appropriate person almost immediately.

Easyship is easy to integrate into the Big Commerce store platform. They have a free app, 1 click install, easy setup and clients like the easy to use interface.

ShipStation is mainly used for automating and streamlining our shipping process. It doesn't track inventory or deal with fulfillment. ShipBob, on the other hand, is a fulfillment and shipping provider. (in addition to automation) Because our e-commerce business is still small and we're operating from our brick-n-mortar store, we don't have a need for ShipBob at the moment.

Incentivized

• I have increased my shipment orders up to 15% using cash on delivery service that offers Dropex

• Saves time
• Saves money (no low shipping quotes)

Incentivized

• It saves a lot of time being able to import the customer data.
• It saves us money by finding us the best rate (e.g. when we offer free shipping on orders).
• It can save data such as your most common box sizes.
