Easyship vs. ShipStation

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.

• 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.

• 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

Overall ShipStation is fairly easy to use and has a vast knowledge base. Their AI powered chat support directs me to the exact info I need when I'm troubleshooting a problem, and helps solve the problem 90% of the time. I would like more human support, and telephone support would be a major plus.

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.
