ShipStation

Enough is enough. Periodically, for unknow reason, they lock out our account. Sudden logged out, then 'UNKNOWN ERROR' during login, then 'ACCOUNT LOCKED ' message. Seriously ? We do a business here. Shipsations 'security' is just a joke, apparently made by sort of amateurs, they know nothing how businesses work. With no access to the account, we are unable to ship hundreds of orders placed, until ...

I have been with ShipStation since 2017 and had a great experience in the past. However, after canceling my subscription for two months (November 2024), trying to restart it in March 2025 has been nothing but a nightmare.

Previously, I would have highly recommended ShipStation to anyone. The chat support was phenomenal—any issue I had was resolved within minutes. It was easily one of my favorite ...

I think I have used shipstation for over a decade first on another e-commerce platform and then after our switch to shopify we took shipstation with us.
Loved shipstation for both platforms until ten days ago as it seems impossible now to print labels all at once.
I have spent so much time each morning trouble shooting and simply put I have made ZERO changes on my end. There clearly is a problem ...

hard to use and rates were not as good as sendle or AusPost??
this is an overly complicated platform which made my small ecommerce business harder to run, and on top of this, the in-built sendle rates were always better than shipstation, and their quoted AusPost rates were more expensive than the actual AusPost rates at the post office?
maybe im not using it correctly, but thats kind of the point ...

It has become progressively worse over time. Logging in is always a pain, orders are not updated, customer service is mostly non existent.

STAY AWAY. Not only is the app $30 a month, but it never works now.

I cannot tell you how many times over the past few months I have been at the post office to drop of shipments and I either was not able to open the app to access my scan sheet, or I was locked out of my account for 0 reason.

To make matters worse, their customer support is very bad. So not only did my packages get misshipped ...

Absolutely, unequivocally a 0 star experience. We are a former customer who used Shipstation for years through 2022, and attempted to reinitiate service 11/2024 with no success and ABSOLUTELY no assistance from Shipstation Support.

I would be extremely confident in stating that there is no service. "Chat" (unless you have their highest tiered service) is an unhelpful AI that simply reroutes you ...

Absolutely stay away unless you have no choice.

We pay $40 a month for this app and over the last 2 months it has been comically bad. The mobile scan sheet never loads when I go to the post office, which results in lost packages, lately it has trouble pulling rates for common carriers like USPS, the mobile app often won't even let you login, and today I cannot even access the app or website to ...

This unethical application uses dark patterns to trick you into purchasing funds for a "wallet" that's underfunded to buy a single label, then OVERCHARGES you by insisting you buy a minimum amount, that's much larger than you need to "fund" your wallet past the point you need to purchase a label. Good luck ever getting those few dollars back out of their predatory trap.

The interface looks like 1998 and on top of that it doesnt sync your orders. Simple stuff like this that should work. They stole the $10/month subscription because I only downloaded it to use it on orders, and I simply do not see my orders.
