Calcurates: Accurate Shipping

Extremely pleased with Calcurates app and Nik’s support – I’m store owner, not strong technical person, Nik showed me how to configure custom packaging for dimensional shipping, packaging rules for ship separately parcels, showed me how to test shipping using Activity Feed, practical settings for Address Validation. Whenever I’ve needed help with settings, configuration, testing rates, etc. Nik explains very clearly what I’m doing wrong and what I need to do. I’ve done fair amount of configuration with this app, our cart shipping functionality is working great, and I’m pretty sure I’m only using a small portion of what this app is capable of doing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND CALCURATES! Thank you Nik!

Very powerful app and superb support. One undermarketed and underrated thing about this app is it's ability to customize the info messages in shopify checkout, which would otherwise not be possible if not on Shopify Plus. This gives you the ability to share things like expected delivery date, which in my opinion is superior to time in transit.

It seems that the developers have thought of almost everything and a few minor tweaks we requested were made quickly. Nik is also very receptive to product ideas and feedback. Because there are so many possibilities when it comes to shipping and product variations, the app is quite complex. Having said that, nearly everything is intuitively placed and we were able to configure this primarily on our own after a couple meetings and a handful of tickets. Highly recommend monitoring your activity feed after deployment to reveal things that may not be calculating as intended and to tweak settings - there were a number of possibilities we hadn't considered and were quickly able to solve for.

We have been on Calcurates for about a year now. We wanted to make our shipping options more robust, offering specific charges based not only on order value but with standard, priority and express shipping options. Further, with a variety of products, it was important for us to include fees specific to heavyweight items, oversized items and shipping to Alaska/Hawaii. On top of that, we wanted to limit what can and can't be shipped to those areas using priority and express shipping. Calcurates made all of this possible for us. Soon we will be setting up specialized pricing for international territories as well. The one limitation, which sounds like it is actually a limitation of Shopify, is that when shipping from multiple different logistics for a single order (i.e. split shipping, in the instances where inventory may not be with all logistics facilities) there is an issue with the shipping charges stacking. Other than that, we are extremely pleased both with the product and customer service we received during and after implementation

Calcurates supports fast and accurate calculation of shipping fees and customs duties.
The implementation and subsequent operation of the Calcurates app are also met with quick and highly helpful responses.

I have been using Calcuates several months now. I am really happy with the app. It works well and support is superb. Pricing is reasonable. Highly recommend this.
