ShipStation
Chose ShipStation
Quickbooks enterprise is an all in one solution, it really is good at what it does being an all in one. A large amount has moved to Quickbooks Online which does not have a shipping solutions so many people are switching to ShipStation in order to fulfill their shipping needs by …
Chose ShipStation
ShipStation seems to provide the bare minimal compared to others in the industry. I would rate it one of the lowers in terms of shipping service providers.
Chose ShipStation
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 …
Chose ShipStation
In my experience, they both are bad. I believe ShipStation was the better option when we moved over, but I do not believe it has not kept up with changes on Shopify.
Chose ShipStation
ShipStation is above and beyond all of its competition. I have tried them all. I also need the ability to ship things, first-class, with just a stamp (no tracking), and Pirate Ship and anything else like Pirate Ship does not have that feature. ShipStation is the only one …
Chose ShipStation
As mentioned we use Shipstation for the international documentation benefits to ship via UPS. Definitely a better option than our own cart's native shipping software.
Chose ShipStation
We select ShipStation for our store and for clients' stores as an easy way to get accurate shipping rates for national orders. ShipStation is easy to integrate into the Shopify and Big Commerce store platforms, free app, 1 click install, easy set-up and clients like the easy to …
Chose ShipStation
It is less expensive but also easier to use. It also connects easily to our other systems through integrations.
Chose ShipStation
Before using ShipStation, we used Stamps.com. Stamps.com is still around and is actually the parent company of ShipStation. The only difference is they deal specifically with the Post Office I believe, while the ShipStation software can use almost any provider. Stamps.com …
Chose ShipStation
We used ShipStation along with a separate inventory program. It would have been great to have them integrated together. Other than that we've been satisfied with ShipStation and would recommend it. It was easy to train staff to use ShipStation. Because it was consistent and …
Chose ShipStation
I have used stamps.com's Windows based software and was introduced to shipstation after stamps.com purchased Shipstation. It's good for printing postage, but does not sync orders from different marketplaces like shipstation does.
Chose ShipStation
I've tried built-in shipping fulfillment options, like Shopify's or BigCommerce's, and I have tried other third-party options, like Shippo. None have stood up to the pure flexibility of ShipStation's options. They're worth every penny, and the fact that you easily save enough, …
Chose ShipStation
We have always used Shipstation since I have been here.
Chose ShipStation
I use ShipStation with BigCommerce. In the past I have had to use USPS.com, UPS.com, FedEx.com, Etsy.com, etc. Now I don't have to go to multiple places to give my customers choices, and ShipStation far surpasses all of the sites I used before integrating it with our website. I …
Chose ShipStation
I've used Stamps.com on its own in the past and ShipStation makes life so much easier and faster. You can create templates for products so they can be quickly processed and batched or you can batch your international and domestic orders separately. For a few years while we …
Chose ShipStation
I find that the reporting you get out of ShipStation is far better and customizable than what you get from ShippingEasy. I also like the ShipStation app better, and I find it much easier to manage and add users with ShipStation. ShippingEasy wasn't bad and had good support, I …
Chose ShipStation
ShipWorks has many more limitations, including needing its own server per location.
Chose ShipStation
We selected ShipStation because it has custom store/marketplace integrations available that allowed us to connect to a service others couldn't. These integrations seem to be growing and that custom integration is now available out-of-the-box.
Chose ShipStation
ShipStation does one thing, shipping, and it does that one thing really well. You can definitely go out there and try to find software that handles both shipping and inventory, and that may work for certain businesses, but for mine, I've found it incredibly necessary to use the …
Chose ShipStation
We use BrightPearl so I had the options down to ShipWorks and ShipStation. I was voted against on ShipStation because the price is a little higher so we started with ShipWorks. After 2 months we cancelled ShipWorks and moved to ShipStation and we haven't looked back.

Great when it works. The huge downside when it doesn't if you do not have contingency plans in place. Do not expect timely updates to issues, and you will likely never be able to speak with a human for tech support. A good option for International Shippers in that it streamlines the export documentation when it is working.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • The integrations between ShipStation, the marketplaces, and Channel Advisor are perfect and rarely have issues.
  • ShipStation automatically sends the shipment notification to the marketplace and emails the customer with tracking information which means we never have to worry if our customers are receiving that info.
  • The tracking portal for custom websites is absolutely great. We've branded it to match our e-commerce store and it provides access for our buyers to real-time tracking updates.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • In my opinion, customer support is abysmal. I truly believe support people are trained to just delay, delay, delay as there are multiple times the responses I get back are essentially like the utterly useless tech questions "is your unit plugged in?"
  • In my experience, there is literally no way to contact anyone at ShipStation outside of their Support Chat/Case System. They have an email for support but it all goes to the same place.
  • Fix USPS International Shipping issues!!

There are just many issues regarding communication of policies and requirements regarding API usage and plan level needs that cause for the low rating. Also, the lack of reporting details that are available through the platform is not ideal for our 3PL needs to track activities of customer's orders and shipping Qty or activities

ShipStation customer support was easy to use. The written help sections were clear and we could find answers to our questions even if we had to dig a little and read several articles. We often used the chat feature to get quick answers. Once the system was set up for our needs it worked quite well.

ShipStation is above and beyond all of its competition. I have tried them all. I also need the ability to ship things, first-class, with just a stamp (no tracking), and Pirate Ship and anything else like Pirate Ship does not have that feature. ShipStation is the only one that does. With ShipStation, I can ship a flat, rigid mailer for 76 cents. With Pirate Ship, the minimum is over $3. When you ship a lot of these, it all adds up.

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • Pays for itself: The discounts on shipping labels more than pays for the small monthly fee to use.
  • Saves time: Automations streamline the fulfillment process to the point where shipping becomes one click.
  • Prevents errors: You never have to manually enter data, which means there's no chance for user error.
