"Great platform, makes shipping seamless!"
I like that it syncs to our BigCommerce store, and is really straightforward to use! UX is nice, and the discounted rates on shipping are a HUGE plus!

(Original )Information
What do you like best about ShipStation?

All in one shipping module that includes automation of dropship straight from the website. We even started pushing our vendors to use the portal so shipping B2B orders would be automated as well.

They just recently updated the layout. It seems a bit more streamlined and less windows to deal with during use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShipStation?

We still have some poking around to do but haven't figured out a few things like running an end-of-day for the drivers. Most recently found out you can schedule a pickup via Shipstation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ShipStation:

It really is a great way to centralize all of your shipping channels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShipStation solving and how is that benefiting you?

We initially started looking around for different APIs to automate the dropship labels and ended up moving all of our shipping to ShipStation. It has been very convenient. They just recently updated the layout. It seems a bit more streamlined and less windows to deal with during use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShipStation?

I'm able to have all my orders across amazon, shopify, ebay, etsy organized in one place. As a small business owner, this is extremely valuable for my time management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShipStation?

Just some minor issues that I can workaround for now. My amazon orders that contain custom products don't properly import, so I have to log into my amazon seller central dashboard to see what the details are that the customer requested. On shopify and etsy, these details come through without any issues. Also, recently a new dashboard view took away a feature that included a link to my orders with the martketplace. Previously I could click on the amazon order number in shipstation and it opened up a new window directly to the order in my amazon seller central. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShipStation solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shipstation helps me manage orders across multiple marketplaces which keeps me from missing an order deadline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShipStation?

I love that everything is in one platform, which provides us with a quick at a glance dashboard. We have all the information we need on transactions at hand. The fact that it seamlessly integrates with so many sales platforms is an added bonus. It was extremely easy to get the system up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShipStation?

My only gripe is that we often have to restart the shipstation connect software to get it to see our label printer and scale. To be fair this might be more of an operating system issue than a Ship Station issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShipStation solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes it super easy to calcuate shipping costs and quickly figure out the most cost effective solution. Being able to quickly compare prices from multiple shippers is a life saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShipStation?

They have just released bundles which is a game changer for us. It integrates with all of our required platforms and we can use Make, to custom any work flows needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShipStation?

We are unable to have 2 different warehouses and restrict a user to one warehouse. We don't want each warehouse getting confused with the other. As there is the option to have 2 or more warehouses, this seems like a no brainer to implement. Occasionally an order will get dropped and lost in the system. It doesn't happen often but be aware that it does happen so you need to keep on top of all transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShipStation solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Shipstation as a warehouse solution, label printing and to service our orders from online marketplaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShipStation?

Overall it works great, provides us great discounts on shipping, integrates very well with the programs we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShipStation?

There are some silly, quirky things that still have not been fixed. For example, you can't hit "C" button twice to pull up "Colorado" in the shipping State field. You have to manually click scroll down and select it. How inefficient. It is a simple thing that they refuse to change. That is a little frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShipStation solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows us to easily compare shipping rates. Integrates will with Shopify and Amazon to pull in orders and push back tracking info. Order entry could be better and it would be nice to be able to enter and manage contact information easier. Overall, I am a fan of ShipStation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShipStation?

We use shipstation mainly for shipping orders with our carrier rates. It is super user friendly and easy to train new staff on! We have been offered many other ways to generate shipping labels, however, we always come back to ShipStation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShipStation?

If the "Inventory" section could be a bit more user friendly, that would be nice. It is hard for us to track the quantities of items that are sold individually, but also sold in a bundle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShipStation solving and how is that benefiting you?

ShipStation makes it very easy to comapre shipping rates between carriers, as well as inputting in information for our customer on templates that are specific to our website/store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShipStation?

Nothing. They never answer a phone call and after an hour on hold they disconnect.

Their ticket system is to mark everything as "solved" when they didn't do anything to solve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShipStation?

I was charged for failed shipping labels. Shipstation refuses to refund the money. They owe me $844.89. UPS refunded the money to them the day I tried purchasing labels. First they said 3-5 days, then they said it would take 4-5 weeks! I tried calling then after 1 hour on hold, their phone system hung up on me saying they weren't taking any calls. Their ticket system just marks all tickets as "solved" instead of really solving them. Their website has no accounting to show the money owed me. Maybe they think I will forget about $844.89 owed me if it takes long enough!

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SHIPSTATION!!! They are crooks!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShipStation solving and how is that benefiting you?

They sold me 2 shipping labels then stole $844.89.

My package was delivered bu UPS just fine.

Their website has no accounting.

There is no way to see money they owe you.

Support is horrible! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shipstation connect and OCDB intergation is too complex for users without tech skills. These extensions should be services in the backround vs apps that need to be restarted everytime the computer power cycles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
