### Most mentioned pros

- XPS Ship helps us prepare our outgoing packages in our own office, skipping the lines at the post office & eliminating the travel time to send them off.
- It allows you to focus on orders that are paid in full, integrates well with Shopify and Etsy thus eliminating manual data entry.
- To sum it up, this software is quite user friendly, offering easy to See Navagation Menus and Tabs to ensure you know Where to ship, Where to Track, Easy to make changes, Easy to reprint and Void, Easy to choose Different Carriers and Box sizes and delivery times. And then Easy to print and select labels!

### Most mentioned cons

- XPS charges the same shipping costs- or even a bit higher for the same insured parcels---yet has no program that assures UPS drivers will sign a document--or even recognize a high value item.
- I have moved away from this product as my credit card was charged thousands of dollars outside my ordered labels and I was told it was due to "auditing" we have a scale that is certified by the county of San Diego
- Unable to give me alerts when an order has issues and packages are recharged without notification.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

Besides ease of use, XPS integrations allow me to bring orders from all my sales channels into one page. It's super easy to batch process address verification, packing slip printing, and purchasing/printing shipping labels. I couldn't run my business without it.

#### Cons

The one feature I'd like to see added to XPS is integration with QuickBooks to automate cost and inventory transaction reporting.

XPS is easier to implement, lower cost, and provides hands-on control of our shipping processes

I like the ease of use but we have mainly switched over to another platform because they do have actual friendly customer service. We ship probably 10k items a year and now only use XPS for a small amount of that.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Very easy to use, easy to print labels even though it forces you to print two pages at a time.

#### Cons

There is no customer support and when you do reach out for customer support the representatives act as if you are a problem and are never willing to help. I literally had to request that a particular employee never contact me when I have an issue because she has been so rude.

#### Vendor response

Very surprised to see the remarks regarding customer support. Our customer support is best in class. We offer live onboarding to all customers and our customer service professionals answer our phones live.

#### Pros

It is pretty simple to use once you get your system setup. And getting your system setup is fairly simple too with instructions along the way to help.

#### Cons

I'm not a fan of the recent addition of shipping deadlines listing in red type for items in the integration list that were just added that day. I would be in favor of revising the system to a variety of colors defining how long an order has been listed on the shipping list. For example, if I come in to my computer on a Monday, I would like to ship the orders that may have come in to my system late on Friday or early on Saturday. These could be highlighted red, but the Sunday orders could be yellow, and any orders from the last 24 hours should still only have a green highlight.

### XPS for the Win!

Overall, we have been very happy with XPS. We started using it as a "back-up" shipping option for when PayPal was glitchy or down. Now we use XPS for almost 100% of our orders over 1lb in weight. It's quick & easy and the customer service is great.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

XPS integrates easily with my website & paypal. Client purchases show up and it is easy to print labels. I especially like the "usps verified address" that pops up. It has helped to minimize miss-ships. For packages over 1lb, XPS offers some of the most competitive rates. Their customer service has always been top-notch whenever I need to call in.

#### Cons

With the increase in shipping prices, XPS is no longer competitive on USPS "first class" packages that weigh less than 1lb.

#### Reasons for switching to Descartes XPS Ship

We needed a back-up shipping option and XPS has become our #1 go to for labels.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for the review, Ellisa. I will just mention that our USPS pricing is Commercial Pricing, and our pricing on First Class is the lowest available. USPS doesn't making better pricing available than what there is on XPS.

XPS gave us the ability for many users; i.e. shipping and customer service departments, to see status of our shipments to our clients so everyone could give updates. Increased our efficiency.

#### Pros

The abiity to track shipments and its ease of use for all.

#### Cons

The people selling it should be more knowledgeable about the product. Seems like we were learning it together. Our person who presented it to us was great and very helpful, but I have a feeling it could do more that I don't know about. Hated the FedEx integration aspect; the billing was abysmal -- over 1 month late and by that time, it was very difficult to contest charges that should not have been charged to us. Was a nightmare. Would not recommend this part of XPS at all!

#### Pros

Access to lower rates for our customers is the best feature! The API that auto-fills the fields for shipping is a close second. It saves us labor and prevents errors! Being able to build an address book of customers is also a helpful feature.

#### Cons

There is nothing I don't like! There are other automations that could further improve my efficiency. The customer indicates her/his desired shipping class in WooCommerce. It's very helpful having info. passed to xpsshipper and it would be even more helpful if that shipping class would be automatically selected (so I don't have to select it - but I could override it).

#### Reasons for switching to Descartes XPS Ship

Lower rates and integration with our WooCommerce plugin!

Made my job so much better. No more post office issuers as to label and postage requirements. No more second guessing it rounding up postage fee in hopes of getting the correct amount.

Printing labels from my desk that the post office approves - we had issues with mailing Priority packages without the bar codes. I always get the postage amount right (no more retuned packages for insufficient funds). I can “price shop” different services for most cost-effective shipping. I can track a package up to 6 months to ensure delivery. Love the discount, too as well as automatic probe increases by USPS reflected.

#### Cons

Please integrate the ability to add the cost and service of return receipt and certified mail.

We have used several of the competitors to XPS but this is the best for us. XPS easily integrates with shopify stores, ebay, Amazon and others so when you log in, your orders are right there! We also integrated our UPS and Fedex accounts so the price shown includes our discounts. XPS prices are lower than USPS. Most surprising thing: calling for help (which we have only done a handful of time) is fast. We have never had to wait on hold and....the reps give you the correct answer quickly. Shocking!

UPS rates are too high. You should offer more discounts with UPS. When we ship via ebay or amazon the UPS rate is significantly lower. Copy and paste address does not work properly. I've asked customer service and was told that after a certain volume with UPS. UPS asked XPS to have it's users (us) create our own account. I don't understand why there is a rule like this. Since we use Amazon and ebay's to purchase shipping labels via UPS and it's all under accounts, not ours.

Other shipping software (e.g., Shipstation and Pirate Ship) have this functionality. For this reason and this reason alone I am looking at switching away from XPS.

The ACH withdrawal authorization does not stay with account. In the past several months the software switches to credit card and charges us a fee which means we loose valuable shipping monies to fees. This has been very discouraging to us.

Thank you, Ruben, for the review. The software does switch an account that has bounced an ACH payment to credit card as the source of payment. That would be the reason for the switch.

#### Pros

This is user friendly and any single time I have had an issue (usually an APO or international label) or with adding funds/purchasing a label, and have used the 800 number, the customer service has been quick and fabulous!

#### Cons

Sometime slow to load, but that could also be on my network's end

#### Reasons for switching to Descartes XPS Ship

XPS was able to match the discounted rates I was getting thru those services and all of my shipping is combined onto one dashboard now.
