ShipStation

This app will use to be great. It now crashes during each print attempt. You have to login and reset multiple times per day. Submitting tickets to directly to ship station results in fast responses but no results. This is no benefits to either party.

Learn how to print labels Stationstation and stop crashing. Stop releasing new UI's and focus on basics that improve time.

As you can see I have been using this app for many years and they can and should be doing better..

Terrible integration with Shopify.
- If an order is edited (products change, address updated, notes added etc) that edit in Shopify does not flow over to Shipstation. So as a small business owner I need to make the edits twice.
- I have two different warehouses and Shopifys split shipping is not supported as an integration with Shipstation.
- I have an app on Shopify that makes beautiful, branded packing slips and invoices. But these do not travel over to Shipstation so my packages have this totally mediocre packing slip thats not on-brand for my upscale company.
- I sell wholesale on Faire and while Faire and Shopify integrate beautifully when the orders flow through to Shipstation they are all screwed up with testers not registering properly and discounts showing up in a very confusing way. So every time I get a wholesale order through Faire I need to manually email them the packing slip so they can pick and fill correctly.
I love my warehouse but wish they did not need to use Shipstation. I feel Shipstation does not care one bit about the business using Shopify, only about the warehouses.

WORST customer service. Shipstation worked great till they switched to Parcel Guard. They ended up costing us thousands of dollars in damages for one shipment. We have double automatic insurance rules on our account, but what they don't advertise is that if you ship more than one package in a shipment, they automatically turn off your insurance. Been back and forth with customer service for months over the issue. Cancelled our account because of how much money we lost. Said they were going to give us a refund, went silent for weeks, stopped responding to our emails then a new support person popped back in after we cancelled and said sorry to see you go and no refund.

I will update my review if the support team has a resolution for printing more than 20 labels at a time. If we print more it will skip or miss orders. we called and they sent documents for us to read regarding our printer.
Do we have a printer issue or shipstation issue?

This app has been billing me for years and I can't get them to stop. I've even tried cancelling my credit card but because it's linked through Shopify they are able to bill the new card number somehow. Do not download this app or do their free trial. You'll be committed for life.

Horrible app, took our money for using our own courier without notifying us. VERY DODGY! Aussie's steer clear of this one!

Buyer beware! I am on a trial acct still and its been a terrible experience-They charged me for my last 2 labels over & over again by saying I needed more & more funds and kept charging my credit card-but even though they charged me for 1 label 3 times in funds-I never received the label-I am unable to print any labels-there was not actual label or tracking created and yet they charged me 3 times for this label and then the same thing happened with another label rt after that-they currently owe me a refund of $221.08
You cannot get a human on the phone & I opened a "case" 2 days ago and no reply or refund so I will have to pursue thru credit card company. It's really bad-they charge you all sorts of charges for labels you never get & then try to get the refunds when it was their fault. Not ok -Stay far far away.

I would not recommend ShipStation. Customer support is terrible.

Avoid this garbage program. So many bugs and the customer service is embarrassingly abysmal.

Update: The only response I've gotten from ShipStation was because of this review. I still haven't heard back from anyone about my problem in most of a week. Seems they care more about how they look than how they actually do their jobs.

It keeps getting more expensive, while the service keeps getting worse.

I've been three days without the ability to create labels, and I still can't figure out if any of the support staff (who appear to be farmed out to a 3rd party now) have even used the software before.

Not only did my fees DOUBLE for using my own carrier accounts, but the service and support are 1/10th of what they used to be.

This is the worst way to spend your money. Find something else.

Im cancelling and moving to Ordoro.

Update: After 2 weeks of outage my issue was finally resolved and we were able to create labels again with the carrier we have the best agreement with.

We lost ~$3000 in increased shipping costs in this window of time. Shipstation was gracious enough to provide us with a $400 credit to make up for this....

Responses were slow, and we were more or less left completely in the dark on what was going on, or what discoveries were made. We were never provided with a reason for the outage.

We are still working to migrate away from ShipStation at this point.
