Easyship: solution tout‑en‑un

Charged for 8 months on the wrong plan — and refused a refund

After my trial ended, Easyship placed me on a Premier subscription at £82.80/month without my knowledge. Their own email to me at the time stated my plan was Plus — not Premier. When I queried the charges, they acknowledged the email was an error on their part, but still refused to issue a refund, citing their T&Cs.

We send around 20 parcels a month. There is no world in which we would have knowingly signed up to Premier. The miscommunication from their own team is the reason I didn't question the charges sooner, and they've admitted as much — yet won't take responsibility for it.

I'm now pursuing a chargeback through my bank. I'd strongly advise anyone signing up to Easyship to check their billing carefully, as it appears plan upgrades can happen without clear consent.

Domestic UK shipping is ok - International shipments not ok. It told me my international shipments would use my iOSS number in the interface, but it didn't and all my customers had customs bills. This made them angry and wasted a lot of admin time/cash flow issuing refunds.

Customer service via email was slow and useless, it took days to get a response, and the response wasn't helpful. If you want to speak to somebody on the phone you have to upgrade your plan which you shouldn't have to do. Why would you want to spend more money to fix a basic issue?

I then had a sales person phone me to ask if I wanted to upgrade, I said no as I was having issues, he was like ok bye LOL.

Anyway CBA with this anymore, business running is hard enough without tools making it harder. I've ended up using Royal Mail Click + Drop directly as it's more reliable.

Constructive feedback - work on your customer service, if you'd have helped, I would have stayed.

Did not even get past the setup process. This company as of 4-9-2026 has terrible internal communication and setup flow. So if you are looking to get answers to your questions you will get them in a couple hours up to a day, or you will get 3 different emails and phone calls talking about getting on a setup call that you already had.

This level of disorganization is why our business simply had to go elsewhere because in the shipping world disorganiztion leads to bottlenecks and chaos.

Horrible customer support!! Long response times and impossible to get help, EVEN if they screw up.
Actively looking for other options!

The app itself has been good for the last 12 months but looking for other options now due to the fact that I've been forced into 'verifying my identity' before any more shipments can be made.

Bas customer service.
I used to love this app, changed the game for my canadian business shipping mostly to the US. I spent thousands of dollars in shipping labels in the past year but unfortunalty they expereienced some issues with their UPS account. From what I understand the account was blocked. I had a similar issue in the past with Shippo (another thirdparty) and they solved the issue in 1h. I reached out almost everyday to easyship's customer service and they keed telling me that they will escalate this (to whom idk). I can't use my account anymore and they won't help me solve this.

If I could leave no stars, I would. I was advised I can only use a credit card or american express to use this platform, not my card I use for EVERYTHING to do with my business.

If zero stars were possible, Easyship would earn it.

U.S. customs changes are always announced months in advance, yet nothing is ever updated in the platform to handle USMCA compliance or prevent unjustified tariffs. As a result, our fully compliant Canadian products are charged duties anyway — forcing us to absorb part of the cost just to stay fair to our customers.

When a single fulfillment team member couldn’t pass the in-app ID verification, the entire business account was disabled for 24–48 hours. That meant no shipping, no fulfillment — everything on hold.

Customer “support” is another disaster. Every interaction ends with someone who can’t actually resolve issues, and when they do act, it’s without any understanding of how real businesses operate. One rep even “fixed” a carrier error by delaying our pickup three days without telling us — and called that a solution.

Only thing they are good at is giving apologies...

Run! Don’t get involved or subscribe to Easyship. There’s nothing “easy” about it — and it’s certainly not built for serious shippers or fulfillment-driven businesses.

The information about this software is largely misleading. After purchasing a paid plan, you still need to create separate accounts with courier companies. The prices are higher than the actual carrier rates. They charge your account quickly, though you can later access the payment receipt from the billing section. The subscription cannot be canceled directly — it must be done through a support ticket. Overall, my experience with this software was not satisfactory.

Easyship is fine for small startups, but once you cross 100+ orders per day, it becomes slow, unreliable, and frustrating to manage.

As order volume increases, the platform struggles badly. Almost every day there’s a new software issue—orders not syncing properly, automation rules failing, or random errors that force you to manually edit shipments one by one. That manual work easily eats up hours daily, which completely defeats the purpose of using a shipping automation tool.

Their automation is unreliable at scale. Rules don’t apply consistently, and you constantly have to double-check and fix things manually.

Chat support is always “available,” but that doesn’t mean effective. Most of the time, support agents don’t fully understand the technical issues. They usually say “we’ll refer this to our tech team”, and then you hear nothing for days, often with no real solution in the end.
