Overall Satisfaction with ShipStation
I sell my products on many platforms, and I love ShipStation because it allows me to see all of my sales from every platform all in one place. I also love that I can ship my products right through ShipStation and it automatically leaves tracking information with each sale, regardless of the platform the sale was made on.
Pros
- Connects all of my sales from every platform in one place.
- Allows me to re-arrange columns almost like a spreadsheet so I can put sales in order by certain columns (date/name of customer/item name, etc).
- It's linked to my Stamps.com account so when I print postage it comes out of my Stamps.com account.
- I have a lot of items that are similar in name, so I like that it also shows an image of each item in the order so I am sure to ship the correct items to my customers.
- It's easy to get shipping rates for different classes or even different carriers.
Cons
- Last year (summer?) they made some changes and I can no longer schedule a USPS pick up from my ShipStation account. I put in a ticket and they said it could be months before it is resolved, something about how this particular team only works so many days a week. Well, it has been almost a year, and still no resolution. I used to use the USPS pickup option daily through ShipStation. Now I have to go to the USPS website and log in every single day and it's frustrating.
- I used to be able to print postage with my Rollo printer. They suddenly and without any notice said they no longer support Rollo, so now I have to download the label and print it from a PDF file for EVERY order.
- I wish they would let me connect with my Faire account! The only account I am not able to link to ShipStation.
- Print postage for all of my orders from one platform.
- Can usually contact support quickly when there is an issue.
- All sales from all platforms are automatically downloaded to my ShipStation account.
- They definitely save me a lot of time, having everything all in one place.
ShipStation is above and beyond all of its competition. I have tried them all. I also need the ability to ship things, first-class, with just a stamp (no tracking), and Pirate Ship and anything else like Pirate Ship does not have that feature. ShipStation is the only one that does. With ShipStation, I can ship a flat, rigid mailer for 76 cents. With Pirate Ship, the minimum is over $3. When you ship a lot of these, it all adds up.
