Easyship ‑ All in One Shipping

I've used Easyship (and their affiliated warehouse for inventory management and fulfilment) for a few years now and overall, it's a good combination as a small business owner. They drastically reduce the time spent on fulfilment so that I can focus on other parts of the business.

While they offer favourable rates on most couriers due to their volume, if you're often using your local postal services, this will cost quite a bit more than doing it yourself because they don't offer discounts, and Easyship's margins will add to that cost. But for the time saved, plus the ability to offer my customers 3 shipping options each time (cheapest, fastest and best value), it's a no-brainer for me to continue using this service.

There have been hiccups along the way but most of the time (as I'd expect from all companies who offer global shipping), their support is quick and efficient.

EDIT: Easyship did get in contact with me and refunded the overcharges that were assessed over the prior month for me to my satisfaction. We have not seen more UPS multi-package overcharges so they may have corrected the problem with USP. We have also been trying to avoid using UPS for multi-package when possible because of this but we will give it a try again in the future. I am leaving my initial review for the time being so people see the whole picture. The only way that the problem received attention to resolve the issue was with the review below. Hopefully they will act faster with application problems faster in the future.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: This APP was working pretty well for well over a year and then started sending us UPS overcharges weekly for multi package shipments. Some times more than double what the APP had quoted us. This caused us to lose money on a number of orders and when we contacted Easyship they insisted that it was not their responsibility and requested detailed pictures of packages that had left our building weeks before in oder to file a claim. They then wanted us to recreate the packages and send them pictures wasting time and materials on our end. They say that it is up to the courier to have the final say. Even when they can check the system and see that we had shipped two packages and printed two labels they allow UPS to come back and bill for four packages. There is a serious communication issue between this platform and the UPS API and when pressing the chat agent to speak with someone in management my request fell on deaf ears. I am sure that I can not be the only customer having this issue so I would assume that Easyship has no real interest in resolving the problem and is simply going to rely on the fine print in their agreement so point the finger at UPS and continue to allow them to bill in excess of the services rendered. In all honesty you should keep shopping for a shipping APP and skip this one entirely. They have somehow managed to not allow Google reviews of their company. That alone tells you something.

My honest opinion. I used this app at first because it seems easier and more reliable. it was working fine with a few issues here and there. when you ship hazardous items it doesn't mention it on the label at all so you can have problems without realizing(Its my first time so I had no idea), and when you ship international using certain carriers it doesn't give you the full list of the things you need or that are okay. for example it doesn't tell you that FedEx needs you to buy their boxes only, that they will use the wrong label size and weight you had for your previous box and put it on the new one. result is you pay insane custom fees for the wrong label when you didn't do anything wrong :) beware. the support was decent. sometimes you get someone useful sometimes not. most of the time I sent emails and didn't get answers back. the only time they worked hard was to tell me to change my review if they fixed the issue which is why I'm writing this.
Lauretta. S.Vaas helped me with my FedEx issue and refund therefore I'm giving this review 4 stars just because of her. for the general experience i would give 2 stars at best.

Shipping with Easyship is hassle free. have been using Easyship for years.

UPDATE

16/05: The Easyship team reached out, following up on this review, showing their responsiveness to user feedback about their service. I'm thrilled to confirm that they've made the A6 label printing feature free, a significant step towards aligning their service with current market standards. Additionally, they offered to review our latest insurance claim, and after discussions with their broker/insurance partner, they finally approved and refunded the associated cost. While we're delighted with the outcome, it's worth noting they categorized it as a commercial gesture, so I can't guarantee a global change in service quality at that level.

Nevertheless, their willingness to improve quality of service in 2024 and their active engagement with clients is commendable progress. Let's hope they're committed not only to addressing negative feedback but also to enhancing their overall service. Feel free to share any new reviews.

-----------------------------------------------------
Once innovative with excellent customer service, but now nowhere close to that. The interface is clumsy and confusing, and they seem focused on making your life difficult to enforce their $49/month plan. I would have never imagined that printing an A6 format in 2024 would require a $49/month subscription. These guys are simply out of touch with their market since late 2022, based in the US and totally in the clouds. You'd be better off using Interparcel, FastCourier, etc., which offer direct plugins and don't charge monthly fees to print an A6. Oh, and as a new addition since 2023: customer service is now hiding behind the fact that the courier doesn't offer live tracking. Basically, despite having tracking, if you use the normal service, Easyship will not help you anymore if the package isn't delivered. For that, they've created an extra service at an extra cost. It's very fishy, and in the end, they offer less than the normal carrier directly. Finally, don't bother insuring your package, as their insurance team in the US is dedicated to taking weeks to answer you and fully involved in doing everything not to pay the claim... I assume the insurance company being in the US doesn't care too much about Australian Consumer Rights.

Haven't started using it on Shopify so we cannot comment.

All great with Easyship. This app is very helpful to us. Customer service is so far the best we encountered. They find time to call and inform us that our ticket has been resolved. Keep up the great work!

A functional and handy app to have on your site to solve your delivery needs, might just require some fine tuning on the backend regarding the ease of usage. Overall still a great app, plus as it is free of charge there really isnt much more to complain about!

I have been using Easyship for 8 months now and overall I find the app great! The dashboard is very easy to use and they are always looking to improve and adding new features. I have found their customer service has dropped off over the last few months, which I can understand but sometimes it can take 5-6 emails to just get a response.

The biggest area for me where they need to improve is the link between their warehouse partners & Shopify, I have to go in and manually update my stock every month to make sure inventory is correct.

I would defiantly recommend Easyship to any start-up, even with the few issues mentioned above, they have been a great tool to help me launch my brand.

What a useful app to help us find the best solutions for shipping our orders. We can sort by the lowest rate or the fastest, and the interface is pretty easy to use.

I just wish the site were better optimized for mobile!
