Pirate Ship: CheapARR Shipping

I have been using Pirate Ship Shopify integration since 2022. Yes, the prices have gone up, but when comparing to Ship Station and Etsy shipping, the prices are about the same (maybe a bit less then Etsy) and much less than the buying at the Post office counter. The prices are also the same as business customers shipping prices directly through USPS and USPS does not integrate with Shopify, so you have to export or copy+paste to ship through them.

I have only done end of day pick up request twice with USPS and it was easy to request, but once USPS didn't show up and I ended up at the Post Office anyways.

A definite plus with Pirate Ship is their insurance claim process. Easy and much less painful than USPS. Note: I have never been able to get a reimbursement through USPS for their $100 including insurance, what a scam.

The only thing I don't like it how their batch shipping is the ease to pick different shipping for each label.

So glad I switched to Pirateship. Was having *insane* issues purchasing labels directly through Shopify and being charged 'adjustments' on over 90% of them. No one could tell me why. USPS said it was Shopify. Shopify said it was USPS. Thousands of dollars tacked onto my billing months after the packages were delivered, without my knowledge, and no answered for it. Shopify let me down big time. Switched to Pirate Ship and have not had one single label adjustment since (except the odd one here and there that I've disputed and been refunded for). PirateShip literally is saving me thousands of dollars at this point.

I love Pirate Ship. It’s incredibly easy to use and saves me a ton compared to buying shipping elsewhere—especially for UPS international. Connecting it to my Shopify store was quick and painless. And honestly, the pirate theme just makes it more fun to use. (It even helped get my son interested in helping me get packages ready to ship!)

Amazing customer service and always the BEST pricing. Can't go wrong. A+ integration, just wish notes/gift notes would import into PirateShip so I didn't have to manually print them out ;O;

We've been using Pirate Ship for years for our other platforms and personal use, so when we discovered that they also had a Shopify app, it was a no brainer. Easy to set up, easy to use, always the lowest prices, and absolutely the best customer service around....can't recommend highly enough!

Hey there, just wanted to shout out!

Pirate Ship has been our shipping company for years.
They are always right there to answer questions, refunding is easy peasy and international is super easy as well. We integrated both shopify and etsy with no problems. Their rates are the best we have found over the years.

I would say is you have any questions or fears go directly to Pirate Ship and chat with them about making the switch or integration.

I love Pirate Ship. It's really easy to use, and provides me substantial savings over purchasing shipping, especially for UPS international. It was super simple to get it connected to my Shopify account. It's also pirate themed, which I love.

Pirate Ship has been a genuine joy to use. From the moment you log in, everything feels clear, friendly, and thoughtfully designed — which is rare in shipping software. The platform is intuitive, the rates are excellent, and every interaction feels like it was built with small businesses in mind.

What really sets Pirate Ship apart is the personality and care behind the scenes. The playful branding never gets in the way of doing serious work, and the support team has been consistently helpful, fast, and human. Every touchpoint feels intentional.

If you’re shipping orders regularly and want a tool that actually makes the process easier (and more pleasant), Pirate Ship is a no-brainer.

Love using PirateShip for my Shopify store. Integration has been seamless, and I've never had any trouble getting in touch with someone from customer service when I've had questions or had to make an insurance claim.

I've used them for years. Simple to use, but complex enough for my needs. And their support staff is very responsive...and humorous.
