ShippingEasy, an Auctane (formerly Stamps.com) company, offers their cloud-based ecommerce shipping platform, providing full support for USPS, UPS, FedEx and integrating with online marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Volusion, and others. ShippingEasy allows automated order tracking with fulfillment data, and inventory levels to populate in real time.
On the efficiency of logistic work (warehousing, stock-taking, sending out products to end customers) Omnipack was very efficient and we were not complaining about this. It was unfortunately way worse in the area of communication and the way we were treated by them. Our SPC was changed multiple times over the course of our cooperation (ca. 2 years) and it was difficult to sort out anything with them. A lot of invoices that we received included some strange positions that we were disagreeing with. We did not feel like we were real partners to them. All this led to our decision of resigning from cooperation with Omnipack and switch to the competition.
ShippingEasy is perfect for a small business that needs the inventory system but doesn't want to pay through the nose. The customer service is excellent - they help you in set up, making changes, and make sure you understand how to use it. They save me time in managing our inventory and save me time when there is a problem - I call and get an answer right away. Plus if there is a system wide problem, which there rarely is, they make announcements and keep us up to date during and after
ShippingEasy makes it very easy to set up shipping rules for various scenarios so that shipping is fairly automated. It really is a click and ship type set up.
ShippingEasy integrates into our BigCommerce platform very well. We very rarely have any issues with ShippingEasy syncing orders and shipping status to BigCommerce and vise versa.
ShippingEasy's marketing service is very easy to use. It makes email campaign design extremely easy and aesthetically pleasing and it also makes automated emails very easy to set up as well.
ShippingEasy customer support is excellent. We rarely have to wait on hold, the reps are knowledgeable, well trained, well spoken, and understand technical issues. They listen carefully to make sure they understand the issue and check if they do not know something. I feel confident that I am getting correct information and rarely have to make more than one phone call to get an issue corrected.
When we talk about drop shipping operations Shopify is the number 1 in the world for all the major demands, so they solve a lot of questions that are pre-requisites for the business. Omnipack came as a supplementary and additional tool to solve a logistical problem that exists because the business was previously helped by Shopify.
Positive: when things were going smooth, Omnipack was very efficient and timely in sending out the orders to end customers.
Negative: endless discussions about discursive invoicing, unclear processes, etc. led to inefficient utilization of our employees.
In case us being late with the payment, Omnipack was stopping any activities and keeping our stock (we could not take even a part of it - even though the stock value was more than 10x the amount due).
ShippingEasy has really had a positive impact overall on our business. It is very simple to use and the flexibility of the shipping rules has more or less automated shipping. So for a small organization like ourselves, it allows us to reduce overhead by not having to have multiple employees to ship.
It also has helped reduce overhead significantly by switching our email marketing from Constant Contact. It is about a 10th of the price and has more functionality. So that was definitely a no-brainer
All in all, ShippingEasy helps us reduce overhead the most in labor. It is extremely easy to use so a lot less of our time is devoted to shipping concerns such as manually entering shipments like before and making sure shipment information is transferred over to BigCommerce, or doing return labels. Everything integrates so well it is essentially automated.
