ShipStation Software

Pros

they have made the product very affordable for many companies who would like to do online sales and have too many freight features enabled.

Cons

You need to watch what content is being shipped as most of the dealers do not adhere to the rules and which is actually a good practice. system does not track this.

Pros

the best thing about this is it is easy to set up and implement. It provides lot of easy tracking information.

Cons

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!

Pros

This software is easy to use and I love the fact that I can generate tons of shipping labels ( FedEx, UPS, USPS and others ) In bulk. The ease of use of the program is phenomenal. I can also upload orders and styles via CSV in a special format which is awesome!

Cons

The only real issue I have is customer service. It is kind of hard to get in contact with someone when you actually need some live help on issues and questions.

Pros

Perfect for shipping and fulfillment across one or many online sales channels. It's easy to use and reasonably priced.

Cons

I occasionally have a problem importing new SKUs and having all the settings updated correctly. Rest is all good.

Pros

The User Interface is good, although there is A LOT in there and so you really need to spend time looking at all areas.

Cons

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.

There's no doubt that ShipStation is built well and has the necessary features to please companies of all sizes. We've found very few problems in our 2-3 years of utilizing the platform and it's the best solution we've found to this point. We would recommend the system to any company looking to expertly manage its shipping operations.

Pros

Our publishing company utilizes ShipStation to handle inventory and shipping management. The system is extremely comprehensive, offering a robust feature set covering orders, shipments, products, customers, and reports. It's easy to set up multiple stores for different aspects of the business in order to keep the silos separate, and alerts draw your eye to the areas that need attention. ShipStation can also be seamlessly integrated with various e-commerce platforms so that orders are ported directly over and into the shipment queue. Once shipped, we enjoy the tracking features that allow our team to check shipment status whenever customers have inquiries. Additionally, there's an insight section that shows how many customers interacted with a their personal tracking pages, how many shipment notifications have gone out in a given time period, and general sales trends.

Cons

The interface isn't the prettiest, but it gets the job done and doesn't suffer from glitches. Occasionally, we have a little bit of trouble locating a specific option because the system has so many features. Perhaps the organization or visibility of some areas could be improved.

Pros

Very user friendly and has a lot of features and options. Use it on a daily basis and rarely ever have a problem. If I do, customer service takes care of it very promptly.

Cons

Sometimes I feel like there is too many steps for a certain task. Also, printing from the Zebra requires an extra step - that could be a user error though.

So far so good. I havent bumped into issue yet. Like I sayd, it really made shipping much easier and the printing labels for various ecommerce sites, a breaze.

Pros

Shipstation made our lives at the shipping dept. so much better. It made the complex part of the business flow and streamlined.

Pros

ShipStation is a great option for shipping large quantities of products. The customer support is usually helpful and tries to get you an answer as quickly as possible. The real selling point of ShipStation for me personally, is the integrations and discount during bulk shipping (especially around the holidays).

Cons

ShipStation is only as reliable as the mail. If any other website is down, like USPS for example, ShipStation also tends to have an error.

very happy with the software, hoping to see more integrations.

Pros

easy to use, many reports and integrations. most of it is self-explained. there are many functions to use in order to set a report.

Cons

no phone customer service. sometimes an easy solution will take a while to get answered just because they do not have customer service on phone and sometimes not even on chat.

Pros

ShipStation is a great software for anyone who ships products...especially those who sell through multiple sales channels. It integrates with basically all of the online marketplaces and website platforms as well as software such as Sellbrite that help manage inventory and listings on those channels. The automation rules are awesome for routing orders where they need to go without having to hire someone to process paperwork, and automatically populating info onto shipping labels is great.

ShipStation saves my time to print my shipping labels, but the plan price is a little bit too high since I am high volume shipper. I found out Circle.us couple weeks ago on Google and have been using it for a while. It's interface is not very easy to use BUT they offer deep discounted shipping labels. I no longer using my own Fedex and UPS accounts anymore. I save approximately 40% shipping cost by using Circle.us.

Pros

It saves my time to print labels for my amazon and eBay stores. I plan to open my Newegg store and shipstation has that.

Cons

Customer service responses slowly.
Price is high if you are a high volume shipper.
International shipping is not easy to use .

If you're looking to speed up your shipping service then this is an excellent choice. Prices are reasonable and there are so many integrations it is more than likely that you'll be able to use it with your marketplace. After you set up automated rules and product information, all it really takes is several minutes to get all the labels you need to be printed. Integration with order fulfillment/warehouse management software also allows you to print labels after picking and packing so you can avoid shipping canceled orders.

Pros

-Online Interface
-Tons of integrations with both marketplaces and other business software.
-Can contain product information
-Support for multiple SKU aliases on a single product
-Support for nearly all shipping channels.
-Chat Support
-Automated rules

Cons

While ShipStation does have many functions, there are a lot that still need to be improved upon.
You cannot "delete" products, merely deactivate them.
There is a limit to how much you can customize labels.
When importing products from eBay weight and dimensions not imported, this is particularly annoying when you have many products.
