Massive well done

Sorted out the shipping needs of some really big UK clients, and not only that. Any bug report or feature that has been requested by me ( us , MTC. ) which we know might benefit our client(s) and not only, the development team at calcurates has taken that into consideration and implemented those features in a really short amount of time.

PROS

Ease of use, the fact that i do not have to spend time in creating a million rows long CSV with shipping methods and the fact that the developers of the module are really involved in helping not only me as a person who recommended certain clients, but taking time to present the product to the clients based on their needs and even more than that to start implementing their needs on demo accounts as a showcase on how easy it is to fulfil the needs of website owners.

CONS

i do not think that there is a part of the software / service that i do not like

Reasons for switching to Calcurates

Massive CSV that needed to be build and conditions to add in the csv and made things even more complicated

Vendor Response

Dan-Andrei, many thanks for your trust and positive review from the developer's point of view. We are very happy to have you among our clients. All the best to you and all MTC team.

Website checkout with robust features

once the product is up and running it is easy to use and easy to adjust. I love how robust it is if you need to get down to the smallest details like box dimensions and weights for calculating shipping costs for 1000's of products.

PROS

Calcurates gives us the most amount of control in our shipping costs!We are able to calculate shipping costs from over 25 warehouses precisely using calcurates. once your setup is complete it is easy to manipulate costs for shipping in a number of ways based upon your vendor fees or or actual shipping and handling costs.

CONS

setup can be a little intense if you have multiple websites, multiple warehouses and vendors

Reason for choosing Calcurates

Calcurates was an affordable optionn to us that offered many robust features.

Reasons for switching to Calcurates

We found that Calcurates was more robust and gave us more control over our shipping costs.

Best solution for international shipping rates

Great product, great support. I highly recommend!

PROS

We looked at several options, but Calcurates is easily the best solution if you are offering international shipping and want to charge duties and taxes at checkout. They also allow us to offer different shipping carriers based on product origin, which has saved our customers money and helped our conversion rate.

CONS

Learning all of the settings and features was not easy, but customer support was very helpful in getting us up and running.

Reason for choosing Calcurates

It was the easiest, cleanest, and most cost effective way to integrate international shipping into Magento checkout.

Vendor Response

Thanks you! We appreciate your positive review and happy to be the one who solved international shipping rates for you :)

Shipping solution with great features and good support, but some missing features for Woocommerce

I'm so far very happy with the features and support provided. Any minor bugs I reported were fixed extremely quickly. The only downside is the pricing which is relatively high for "just a shipping rate calculator". When all features will be available for Woocommerce this may change this price/value ratio.

PROS

Extremely good and personal support, great table rate features (very flexible to configure), good integration in Woocommerce.

CONS

There are quite a few features not implemented for Woocommerce yet (but they are available for Magento), e.g. landed cost calculation, label printing, etc. This leads to the pricing being quite expensive compared to the competition.

Reason for choosing Calcurates

Calcurates combines an extensively configurable table rate shipping price calculation capability, with live rates which can be provided to Woocommerce. Future features (not implemented yet for Woocommerce) should include landed cost and label printing which would give me a complete shipping solution for my ecommerce business (at the moment I'm using Shipstation for customs declarations label printing)

Reasons for switching to Calcurates

Starshipit's table rate system was not very intuitive to use and missed features. But the biggest issue was the faulty implementation of the EU IOSS system which they didn't manage to fix. I can't say yet if Calcurates will be able to implement this any better, but their support is much more reactive and listens to customer requests.

Vendor Response

Jan, huge thanks for your detailed feedback! We will do our best to increase Calcurates price/value ratio for you.

Supreme Flexibility, Ease of Use, and Excellent Support

We originally went to Calcurates to get Tax and Duties automated for international shipments. Since then, we have realized savings and efficiencies by taking advantage of their smart packaging and we've given our customers more options in the process.

PROS

What stood out above all else to me was the level of support. I can schedule a call where we share screens and talk through some pretty complex configurations... more often than not, we would have the configuration done during the call. This typically took 15 minutes or less.

CONS

Honestly, every struggle we had was either with FedEx's limitations, or with an attribute that was configured incorrectly on the Magento side. In both of those situations, it was Nik at Calcurates who helped me figure it out and come up with the most efficient strategy to correct the issue.

Reason for choosing Calcurates

It did more for less money.
