Pros

“ShipStation offers a powerful set of tools that make managing orders, printing labels, and handling multi‑channel shipping far more efficient.”

Parker W.

“When it worked, ShipStation was useful for managing orders, buying labels, printing packing slips, and handling day-to-day shipping from one place.”

Jonathan S.

Founder

“We have a warehouse, we have ecommerce sites, we have a remote warehouse. Because of the ability to integrate all aspects of our business for fulfilment we need ship station. How did we do it before?)”

Pros

“If you enjoy walking past the long line of UPS customers and dropping your package off and leaving or if you enjoy putting your package or large envelope in your mail box for the postman to pick up instead of going to the post office, this is the service for you.”
GS

George S.

retired personal user

“Both WiFi and network connection (we moved our machine and do not have a hard ethernet port available at new location - but can connect easily by WiFi)”

“I appreciate the accuracy and the prompt delivery using Pitney Bowes along with saving money, which is definitely important these days. ”
KW

Kimberly W.

Cons

“The main drawback has been the responsiveness of support. When everything is running smoothly, ShipStation is a huge time‑saver, but during moments when you need quick assistance—especially on tight project deadlines—waiting for support can be frustrating.”
AR

Anthony R.

Web Developer

“Despite its strengths, ShipStation can feel complicated when you’re first learning the system, especially if you manage multiple stores or carriers.”

“Packing slips, account funding, label purchases, and support interactions all became pain points.”

Jonathan S.

Founder

Cons

“I have trouble finding how to adjust the mailing date for my items since I don't always mail my items on the same day that I print my labels.”
RH

Rose H.

Fulfillment

“Because of the way my company is set up, I have to reload money every $200.00 and given the volume of mail, that can be a pain.”
GE

Greg E.

State Tax Manager

“I do not like that when you pay online the day your invoice is due you charge a late fee. If we pay a week in advance it is fine but the due date, we are charged a late fee of 40.00.”
