Likelihood to Recommend 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.

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. Read full review Cons Communication with the client (our SPC was changed multiple times over just 2 years). Different strange positions were put on the invoices and it was difficult for us to understand them. We did not feel like we were treated as partners in this relation.

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. Read full review Usability Auctane (Stamps.com, Inc)
If you take some time to learn what all the options and features of ShipStation do, it will save you time, energy and headaches as the system works for domestic orders and international orders for export. You have the ability to adjust info that auto populates into the customs forms for exporting goods and ShipStation solidly integrates with
BigCommerce (outside of my previously disclosed web browser issue which could be the browser's fault)

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.

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 .

Read full review Return on Investment 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).

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. Read full review ScreenShots
