ShipStation vs. Veeqo

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.

If you are an online seller using multiple channels e.g. Amazon, website, eBay, etc. this is essential. All orders arrive in one place. By pre-entering all your item dimensions and weights, you can book the shipping with a courier using a single click. This saves literally hours of time each day and allows you to spend time focusing on growing your business and answering emails rather than just booking shipping. This alone makes veeqo essential.

• 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.

• Allow notes to be deleted/edited by the author, sometimes people make a mistake
• When creating invoice templates etc, guidelines would help everything line up
• When using the search function, have search check the notes section as well

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.

The staff found ShipStation hard to use. We are struggling to set it up and found that the interface was not intuitive like veeqos was. We were doubtful that it could outperform veeqo in the main areas which are important to us, usability and time-saving. Veeqo also has a clean UI.
