Pros

“The ability to create rules based on nearly any criteria allows us to refine our shipping costs even more.”

Tripp P.

Project manager

“If I have to pick something, there is a learning curve up front.”

Chad C.

CEO

“It has eliminated a lot of complexity in our processes without sacrificing business requirements.”

Joe W.

Director of IT

Pros

“The label printing works like any web browser printing, where you can simply direct it to a locally or network installed label printer.”

Yev Z.

WMS Administrator

“easy to use 2) easy to see shipment status at a glance 3) shipment stats are accurate 4) you don't pay for unused labels (unlike Amazon) 5) the prices are comparable to Amazon, but with more accurate shipment stats 6) you can easily choose Media Mail, Bound and Printed matter, and hazardous materials options that are sometimes blocked by other websites such as Amazon.”

Jill l.

Administrator

“So far, they have yet to allow us to set up ACH deposit with our bank. Though they do offer some bank integrations, we are still waiting for our specific bank.”

Yev Z.

WMS Administrator

Cons

“We wasted a lot of time and money waiting on them to fix things and jump through hoops when they should have been able to tell us up front that they were not a good solution for a company our size.”

Jarrod G.

Director of Operations

“not enough carriers integrate with it.”

Yao L.

Warehouse Manager

Cons

“In practice, Pirate Ship acts as a middle layer that gives you cheaper labels but zero real protection. When a shipment disappears, you are left alone between the carrier and Pirate Ship, with neither side taking responsibility.”

Oleg V.

Founder

“Some of the shipping options are hidden or less intuitive to find.”
