Pros

“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

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

Parker W.

Teacher

“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?)”

Lisa P.

Content writing

Pros

“ShipBob could be a strong fulfilment partner, but it needs better warehouse controls, faster escalation procedures, clearer communication, and greater accountability when service failures occur.”

Andrew B.

“Escalations can involve repeated scripted apologies but limited ownership, clear timelines, or proactive communication.”

Andrew B.

“We used ShipBob for a year for inventory management and 3PL services before relocating our company to Texas.”

Charlotte K.

President

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.”

Anthony R.

Web Developer

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

Jonathan S.

Founder

“The software has a strong feature set on paper, but in practice I dealt with enough recurring issues that it became frustrating.”

Jonathan S.

Founder

Cons

“Customer support often relies heavily on false service-level agreements (they start and stop the clock whenever suits them - delusion), even when the issue has been caused internally and is materially affecting sales and customers.”

Andrew B.

“We have experienced delayed receiving, inventory that could not be located, slow internal transfers, and a lack of urgency when ShipBob has made an error.”

Andrew B.

“We have experienced serious receiving delays, inventory issues, and poor communication during urgent situations. When errors occur, it can be difficult to find someone who will take direct ownership and drive the matter through to resolution.”

Andrew B.
