Easyship ‑ All in One Shipping

The expectation was integrated prices at shipping with accurate duties and good shipping prices. Integration seems to be really good! BUT, the shipping prices are literally more expensive than I can find anywhere and the platform cannot figure out how to accurately represent our duties and taxes. For example, our product is USMCA compliant and has a beneficial HTS code, which has our US tariff rate at $0, but Easyship is trying to charge our US customers $72 extra. The additional paperwork and time to sort this out, makes using this platform a complete waste of time. If you are able to get competitive shipping prices and fix the duties, I'd give this 5 stars for sure!

Although friendly, the support team are not very helpful.

The interface is good but the filtering options for order syncing are extremely limited, leading to multiple issues.

Easyship seems uninterested in solving this signifiant problem.

Easyship is so close. It gets a lot right. The shipping rules system is powerful, integration with Shopify is good, the API and Webhooks are solid, order merge is awesome, analytics are insightful, and DDP support is great.

It lacks in a few key areas though that have been unaddressed after reaching out many times:
- FedEx International shipping does not support EDI when using their shipping account, we've been waiting 6+ months for this and had been told it would be done "soon"
- FedEx International shipping (using Easyshi's account) is missing from some key markets like Germany and Australia for no clear reason. Support had no idea and didn't seem to follow up with FedEx
- Flat Export does not support door to door tracking when available like its direct competitor (Pirate Ship: Simple Export) despite using the same Asendia Service

These issues make dealing with international shipping really challenging, which is the sole reason we switched to Easyship.

I lost a lot of sales because of this app. During the checkout process there were many instances when it wouldn't provide customers shipping rates or only provide expensive shipping options when there were definitely less expensive options/carriers. This caused so many abandoned carts and messed up my latest product launch sales.

Though the shipping offers on the backend are at times lower than other platforms, I will not use the calculated shipping rates ever again.

It's good to have as an option for manual shipping label fulfillment not for customer-facing calculated live rates at checkout.

Be warned: EasyShip looks nice and shiny but start digging under the hood and there are some things you need to be wary of.
Pro's:
Great for cash flow (pay as you go),
Nice additions such as tracking page with banners,
Integration with PayPal,
Reasonably good support
Con's:
The Hong Kong warehouse partner they paired me with has been an unmitigated disaster. Lost orders, lost stock and ineffective coms,
A number of selling features just weren't available and the support couldn't get them to work (No way to turn off taxes and charges for irrelevant countries, discounted shipping),
Would not allow me to have a business address outside of Hong Kong in order to ship from HK (which is so freakin bizarre it's astonishing)
The inability to sync products with Shopify (seriously you need to import a CSV file!), SKU's weights etc is similarly an insane omission. It betrays the lack of inventory management knowledge within the core team at EasyShip. This and the following omission places your fulfilment service at severe risk - you are warned,
Barcodes of products are not featured or considered. Someone thought this was unimportant. It is.

Pro's aside I have decided to stock out of the disastrous warehouse I was paired with, cut my losses and finish with EasyShip. EasyShip was pretty bummed for me so I can't blame them beyond a lack of due diligence in bringing this warehouse on-board. If you plan to ship from home or your own business perhaps consider it. Otherwise tread carefully...

DO NOT USE THIS APP! While there were some great features I was ready to put to work for my business, there were many parts of the app that were just broken. The rules didn't work, and it would never integrate our FedEx account. Never any replies to the countless inquiries about integration.

This looks like a good app for shipping but it will require you to be on the Shopify Advanced or Plus in order to use the calculated rates at checkout.
