Likelihood to Recommend At this point I would recommend looking elsewhere - 8 years with a platform and finally have to switch due to the unreliability is not something a business likes to do! They should sell the platform to a company that actually cares about owning an ecommerce builder. Research Shift4 - the parent
Read full review ShipperHQ is almost too heavy-handed for our use case. We are only a single-origin shipper so we don't need the advanced functionality of multi-origin or drop-shipping. It is suited much better for organizations that have multiple origins or that use drop-ship facilities, or even a company managing multiple different eCommerce websites. We opted to go with it because of its great reviews, combined with less than stellar reviews of the competition.
Read full review Pros In my opinion, charge you too much for what it is worth In my opinion, tech support is always blaming client and end up fixing it own issues In my experience, make you believe client is important Read full review It is easy to batch process orders. It quickly calculates rates to compare. It is easy to keep track of orders for future review. Read full review Cons Page structure is all over the place. It can be difficult to find where to go to make page edits. Base platform isn't very robust and requires multiple add-ons in order to add CRM, Taxes, and other capabilities Reporting isn't very strong, necessitating outside analytics File system is also pretty wonky and feels very primitive Customer service and technical help leaves MUCH to be desired. Not as many supported add-ons/plug-ins as other platforms, and many of them cost additional fees. Many of them also don't seamlessly integrate, meaning you'll need to dev the integration yourself. In general, what you see in the WYSIWYG is not what you get. Order System is not very intuitive for the modern era Read full review The user interface is a little tricky. It is not as easy to navigate as other shipping apps. I wish that ShipperHQ had the functionality to print shipping labels and manage shipments. We currently have to use a different third-party app for shipment management. I would also like to see the option for adding shipping rules if shipping management was integrated. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Not applicable - as a franchisee, the franchiser took over the web site and shopping cart capabilities, so I no longer need the tool. But I would recommend it.
Read full review I give ShipperHQ a 10/10 because the software does exactly what it says, and has a rock-solid support team to help get everything set up. The features are pretty easy to use and implement.
Read full review Usability If you are looking for ultra basic interface ...
Read full review I'm not giving a 10/10 because I did need a little hand-holding to get through the initial setup. Overall, it's not that difficult to use once you understand how to apply custom dimensional rules.

Read full review Support Rating You always manage to fins someone, but, in my experience, resolving issues are not an easy task. Why do we pay for a service , and then spend time trouble shooting constantly with them ?? In my experience, they eliminate features , send you an email what you can use instead, with instructions most people cant do without an IT guy . It feel more like an open source than a true integrated service.
Read full review Their support is the primary reason I elected to purchase a premium. They helped a lot with the initial set up.
Read full review Implementation Rating Initially it was difficult to manage the UI to the client, and then hard to change anything , unless you used the boring and too generic templates . Their template selection is very limited , that are basically all the same with different background images and colours . If you are unfortunate to have been a long-time client, you will have to completely rebuild your store, because old templates are not supported anymore
Read full review Alternatives Considered We used them for 2 years and had minor problems up until the end. For the last 2 months, customers were unable to checkout, or connect to our payment processor. We put in like 3 to 5 hot tickets to get fixed and day after day nothing was fixed and support got ruder and ruder with us! We lost thousands of dollars online with this company and now they are chasing us for a renewal payment! Simply put, this is bad software with a poor customer care staff!
Read full review USPS only allows you to use their services (obviously). It was sluggish and often offline. The shipsaver insurance saves us money. We had to guess shipping costs for items instead of entering their weights and sizes ahead of time. It integrates with our e-commerce site. Glad we have it now.
Read full review Return on Investment We have seen an increase in sales of 440% since starting with 3D cart. We find that the 3D features of promotions, coupon codes, rewards points all make customers want to come to us or come back to us. They made mobile conversion pretty easy, and our mobile traffic went from 33% to 54%. Read full review ShipperHQ is reliable and requires little to no maintenance, which for a small crew like ours is invaluable. ShipperHQ also offers the option to display either retail shipping rates or our discounted rates to our customers. This is handy because we can display those discounted rates, which results in higher conversion and fewer abandoned carts due to high shipping costs. One negative, however, is that since ShipperHQ lacks the ability to manage shipments, we have had to use another third party app which increases overhead. Read full review ScreenShots
