We have multiple selling channels, and are always looking to add more, and that's not a concern with ShipStation, which to the best of my knowledge has integrated with every single selling channel I've ever used. The API we use is very specific to our business, as I mentioned we use an ancient, jack of all trades warehouse/accounting software, and it can be a difficult fit for eCommerce, but we've made it work using the API, in that manner ShipStation has been very flexible.,Customer service is always very important to me; I've never had any issues getting a question answered via live chat, which is super convenient when I'm working, and can't budget time to be on the phone AND working.
The search in ShipStation is pretty robust, it's fairly easy to find an order using pretty much any bit of information from an eBay user name to first or last name. I've never had trouble finding an order when I need.
I like that I can save custom exports in ShipStation that help me determine my average cost of shipping, which helps me be more competitive with pricing. I just search an item number, sort by quantity, export, and I have a custom "cost of shipping" export that I just run through excel and get my average.
ShipStation features a shipping calculator, right there, super convenient in the header. You'd be surprised to find that it's really difficult to find a good shipping calculator online, so it's nice to have it here in my shipping software.,If I had to nitpick, I'd say that I'm not a big fan of ShipStation's new V3 UX update. It's more-or-less the same UX, only some of the data that I relied upon is now hidden elsewhere. It's not that I resist change or anything like that, I just like to get to the information I need using the least amount of clicks.
I have some alerts set up to notify shipping when an order has been sitting in our order screen for too long, I'm just not really impressed with the alert itself, which is just a red alert in your top menu that can be easily cleared and forgotten about. I'd really like the option to be able to opt into email or text alerts.
The account settings tab is a little random in that you have you find your automation rules on the same page you find your Subscription and Passwords, and then your user profile is a completely separate thing. It's not the end of the world or anything, but it just seems like there's not a lot of logic on what's on the Popular Settings page, but you get used to it.,9,The ability to export an item's sales history + cost of shipping for each order has made it very easy for me to fine tune my pricing and be more profitable.
Give me one place to handle all of my shipping needs, including shipping estimates which saves me time, and time=money.,ordoro,Shopify, Volusion, Google Ads (formerly AdWords), Adobe Photoshop, Google AnalyticsPaul Francis JonesShipStation truly makes my Shipping Easy!2018-02-02T17:13:25.740ZWe are using ShipStation right now for all of our fulfillment for our sales from our website at www.buiced.com. It addresses the problem of how to ship trhe orders that come into out site, and I can honestly say it does a GREAT job. It is very well done and set up, and honestly could not run my business without it!,The User Interface is good, although there is A LOT in there and so you really need to spend time looking at all areas.
Their Postage Rates with USPS are amazing, I mean REALLY GOOD.
I found that they're pretty good with getting back promptly with Customer Service needs and issues as well.,I am not sure why you cannot Close Out Shipments from previous days.
Also, for some reason, the BAR CODE for the End of the Day Shipments does NOT scan at the USPS offices. I have had to PRINT it out.
When you Schedule A Pick Up, it should pull the End of Day Shipment info into that area, so we don't have to fill it out again. Maybe I am missing something, but I don't feel like it does that.,10,I can't really answer this since I don't know costs of other competitors well enough.
I will say that when I compare Shipping Rates of Shipstation vs. Shopify Shipping, ShipStation wins so that is helping our bottomline and expenses.
I also think that the ease of use saves labor time, so that also helps.,,Shopify, Klaviyo, MailChimp, SquarespaceRay DoustdarIf you're deciding on Shipworks and ShipStation read this!2017-03-23T15:14:19.238ZWe use ShipStation for all our package shipments. ShipStation connects with BrightPearl seamlessly so all orders are updated in real time which is key for our Customer Support personnel.,Easy to set up and implement.
Easy to create box sizes that are commonly used by the warehouse/shipping department.
Customer support is always there to help.
Strong integration with BrightPearl.,It'd be great to see Freight on ShipStation, especially ones like FedEx or UPS.
It would be great if items aren't actually shipped out of ShipStation to not count against the quota. For instance if we sell something straight from the store and the support person working in BrightPearl "picks" the order it goes to ShipStation and if the person just says "shipped" it counts against the quota. The only items going against the quota should be ones where labels are actually printed.
It would be perfect to be able to say what products are in each box. Being able to print off packing lists for each box with exactly what's inside would be extremely helpful!,9,Being able to get tracking out to customer quickly and accurately.
The ease of use by our employees has saved them time and frustration.,,Adobe Acrobat DC, Magento Community EditionWill ThompsonShipStation Makes your Shipping World a Happy Place2017-03-16T20:09:40.942ZShipstation is used by our shipping department. Shipstation allows us to update our API Brightpearl with tracking information which in turn updates our selling channels.,Immediate tracking information provided to customers.
Ability to create manual shipments.
Allows us to compare pricing for UPS versus USPS.,Creating End of Day reports can sometimes be an issue if there is a holiday that only affects my state and Shipstation does not change setting on their end in a timely fashion.
I occasionally have a problem importing new SKUs and having all the settings updated correctly.,10,The positive impact Shipstation has had is to provide tracking information to customers with no manual intervention. The less manual intervention, the more we save on labor costs.,Dropbox, QuickBooks OnlineTammy Cameron
