Pirate Ship: CheapARR Shipping

I have been using Pirateship for a few years, and their customer service is outstanding. Their dashboard is easy to use and doesn't lag like other services. What I don't like is that they have increased their prices on shipping. They used to be on par with shopify but now Shopify has cheaper rates than they do. I only use it occasionally now.

i am not get the point regarding this app,
i entered same dimensions and weight as in shopify default shipping service.
UPS was a little cheaper in Pirate app , Priority USPS is same 1in1, usps is the same or even higher cost.
BUT this app has $100 insurance while shopify has $200 + , and according to another review it is very difficult to get ant reimbursement from insurance from this app.
+ interface is tricky, need to spend more time to process the shipment.
hmm. not sure

maybe sometimes it will be cheaper but 1 insurance claim will make this not reasonable. will play with it around more...
if you have basic plan in shopify maybe this will be a solution.
if pro plan - it will be not reasonable

The app listing says " We pass-through the cheapest USPS pricing tier available (Commercial Pricing) and don't charge any fees or add any markup. Just pay the actual cost of the postage as you go!" But unfortunately, they don't do that for Media Mail. It's the same retail-rate, not the commercial base pricing as they advertise. Bummer as the software looked nice. So leaving a review for other folks to not have to waste time thinking that they offer commercial pricing for all shipping tiers. I wish they didn't advertise that or I could have saved my time and effort. Thanks anwyays
