Advanced Shipping Manager

The entire team at Advanced Shipping Manager has been helpful and proactive. I purchased the app over a holiday weekend. I was prepared to wait a few days, but they installed it without hesitation. We have pretty complicated shipping rules, and this is the first app that I've seen that can manage them. We're still setting things up, but am looking forward to finally resolving our shipping issues with their help.

The set up was a little involved, but since we have it up and running, everything is working as it should.
My 5 star review mostly comes from the absolutely stellar customer service! They representatives on chat are super knowledgable, and find a solution right away.
It is a breath of fresh air compared to pretty much any other customer service agent I have dealt with

Impressed with the overall capabilities of ASM. Once configured we didn't have to worry about performance as everything runs pretty smooth.

The customer service received was excellent. We had quite a complicated shipping scenario and they really took the time to work it out for us instead of just saying "it's not possible." Working seamlessly with our store checkout and 3rd party shipment processing platform. Definitely recommend it!

This app is great, as it is extremely powerful in setting up rules, rates and shipping methods. It ties into our shipping accounts, and supports all rates, including FedEx One Rate, which isn't supported by everyone. Dan and Bert are also extremely helpful and responsive. They have taken the time to help us set up our stores and make sure that all of our rates are correct and everything is set up accurately. And if we have any issues, they respond immediately.

For a while I thought our website would never be able to calculate proper shipping rates and I would forever be on the phone with customers giving custom shipping quotes... This app was perfect for solving our shipping needs. We ship everything from a tiny paint sample via USPS to a 500lb sofa sectional which needs to be flat rate from a white glove carrier. Burt was able to customize the app to fit exactly what we needed. Setting everything up was super simple and the customer service was great! Sometime you just need to talk to someone on the phone and Burt was always there to walk me through any issues. Thanks again for everything!

ASM has been a great solution for shipping oversized items. The tools in Shopify don't allow you to do much with Freight and oversized items. The way ASM is setup allows you to have complete control over your data and even link it to 3rd party systems which I'm doing for a more complex integration. Their support is killer, Burt at ASM has been a great resource. He's super responsive and offers insight and solutions to help solve our most challenging shipping issues with oversized items and integrations. I highly recommend it for anyone that wants total control over their shipping system and has at least some technical ability.

No need to go any farther or look for a better shipping App. We have multiple stores through ASM and they are by far the best group of people to work with. If they don't have what you need they will customize your app to fit your needs. I went through multiple apps looking for a company that would work with me and these guys actually know what they are doing. We will use ASM with any store we open!!

PRO's

1) Great communications buy their team and worked with me to get the issues resolved.
2) very cheap. Their plan may seem like a lot of money, BUT while others are charging less than half that, they DON'T tell you that they ALSO charge per calculation which can quickly add up to in my case $9000 per month.
3) Options. They provide multiple options for how to calculate the rates so that you aren't stuck with 1 way of working and have to figure out how that can work for you.
4) Work with LTL rates as well. while they don't work with my broker, they work with other brokers to get you live rates for LTL's as well.

CON's

When the rates started to timeout, it took a few days to figure out what the issue was and get it fixed, but they where straightforward and had great communication through the whole process. The only reason I am really mentioning this as a con is that I lost 10's of thousands of dollars in potential revenue in those few days.

Conclusion.

If you want to give your customers the most accurate shipping rates without worrying about cost and have a great team to work with, then you should use ASM.

Excellent service offered by the team. They exceed our expectations and meet business requirements. Highly recommended!
