We have been using Pirate Ship for labels for the past two years and have had a very good experience. You get labels at a discounted rate quick and easily. The support team is awesome and pretty quick, they are always making pirate-related puns.
Since there is no monthly subscription fee like their competitors, support is not as comprehensive but still, their fun energy makes up for it.

Was researching shipping label printers to buy, saw a review/how to video about PirateShip, went to the site to see if it really was free. Saw they had also recommended the label printer I was interested in. Once said printer arrived at my home and I set it up I went straight to PirateShip to give it a try. BECAUSE I had a feeling it would truly be the easiest way to test out the new printer and it was. It was so easy! I went from messing around to getting all my orders labeled in one sitting.
This is my THIRD time writing this review because Capterra keeps freezing at the end and then deleting everything I wrote. So if the fact that I'm writing this again because I think PirateShip is so great and deserve all the extra work, isn't proof enough of my love for them then I don't know that my words ever will be. What I like most, is the ease of use, the affordability, the export rate for international shipping, the customer support with their punny pirate quips and funny gifs. All of it!
Cons? No cons, there are no cons here. Unless you DON'T like fast, genuine and proactive customer support, in which case, let's be honest, your life is the real con here.

Frustrated…
I am ver unhappy with pirate ship…no ability to contact except through silly cartoon characters Great if everything is perfect Nothing is perfect. So when there is a problem no resolution or people to contact
The app has no live contact no address to send info to and does not give ant contact information when there is a problem. With a loss and insurance purchased they run out the clock and do not pay

There is no one that compares to the deep shipping discounts you receive using Pirate Ship. I get UPS rates for 75% off. Huge discounts for USPS also. You can integrate it with Ebay to use when you need to ship an item you sold. Pirate Ship makes it easy for shipping a package by giving you the label to print, providing tracking and keeping your records accessible to export or keep in your online account.
The absolute best way to do any shipping. It's easy, gives you choices between carriers, gives you the best price you will ever get, and they do all the work for you. No one else compares.
There are no complaints. It's simply the best.

Overall, best bang for your buck! No monthly charges and you still qualify for commercial shipping rates.
For USPS shipments, this is by far the best software I've used for my small business. No monthly fees and I still get discounted shipping rates equal to other shipping software systems. Additionally, they offer Priority Cubic, a rate that the previous shipping softwares we used didn't offer. Easy to set up, easy to manage and easy to use.
The only downside is their API integration into some big platforms. They offer Ebay, Etsy and Woocommerce among others. However, they aren't setup to integrate with Amazon. Not a huge deal, more like a minor inconvenience as it requires you to cut and paste to do a single label. Again, not a deal breaker for businesses on multiple platforms unless your entire business is on Amazon.
