Pros and cons

Loved the ease of use, ability to save contacts for quick shipments, line of credit options and prompt shipping notifications.
I love the convenience of printing postage, and I like the roll feature. I like that it is not using ink.
Very clean interface, easy to use, easy to educate users. Tracking has high visibility, good capabilities to create presets for frequently shipped items.
Due to USPS system failures, it is too easy to "blame" SendPro Online for problems that have nothing to do with SendPro Online.
I was using PayPal shipping and they switched to ShipStation and what a mess with one problem after another.
I hate printing 25 at a time. I have to do 360 labels for each mailing, and each batch of 25 requires 4 clicks.

Great services

Reviewed 4 months ago

I have used Pitney for many years. I have never needed to look else where for my shipping needs.

Pros

Fast and easy to use. If there is a problem , customer service is great.

Cons

Wish prices were lower. But that is just inflation. They are lower then most for all the services they provide.

Vendor response

Thanks for leaving a review, Michelle. It's amazing to hear that PitneyShip has satisfied all of your shipping needs and expectations over the past several years. We strive to keep competitive pricing and you can always identify your savings by working with customer service. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any further questions or feedback.

My Thoughts

Reviewed 4 months ago

Okay, the customer service end needs work. Not being able to talk to a person is very difficult some times. There are times when it is necessary to have a real person look at an issue. I am having a problem now with billing and there are no choices in the automated system that can answer my question or help me. This is very frustrating and time consuming. I am not happy at all.

Pros

It is easy to print labels from my computer.

Cons

When we receive delivery confirmations they do not have the name. So on each one we have to look up in history, this is time consuming.

Vendor response

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Sandy. We're happy to hear that your overall experience with PitneyShip has been positive and you've found it quite easy to use. We hear you on that delivery confirmations not having client names, we'll definitely raise this up with our product team to review so that we can continue improving the user experience here. And we apologize for any delays or issues you've had on the customer service end. We strive to provide a world-class experience for all of our users so we're sorry we haven't met your expectations here. If you still need assistance, please respond so we can properly escalate the billing issue you've been facing as soon as possible. Thank you for choosing PitneyShip.

Pros

Ease of use for creating labels and tracking

Cons

It would be nice to have a feature to reach out to the actual post office location when there are issues with delivery. I have only had it happen once but getting a hold of someone in an office is not easy and being able to email someone directly with concern or questions would be great!

Vendor response

Thank you for your review on PitneyShip, Amy. We're happy your overall experience has been very positive and that you've found creating labels and tracking your packages so easy and user-friendly. We hear you on wanting to be able to reach out to specific post office locations for delivery issues so we'll raise that up with our product team to review further.

Integrated shipping hub at your fingertips

Reviewed 2 years ago

I find that SendPro Online helps me to ship quickly and efficiently. Being able to access it from any of the computers is nice with multiple systems. The Add to Batch shaves so much time from processing. Great software.

Pros

Shipping with SendPro Online is easy with it's step by step guided software. You are unable to move forward until all relavant fields are populated. The online address check prevents errors in addresses and allows confidence in your work. It removes the guess work with USPS regulations and has estimated delivery times and varied costs as well as a "More information" button to guide users into an informed choice of service. You can choose different label printing options based on the packages type. My favorite feature is the Add to Batch where I can upload addresses and print multiple labels when the packages are identical.

Cons

Adding the name to the cost accounts would be helpful. Autosaving addresses instead of having to remember to click the "ADD TO CONTACT" button.

Easy shipping software

Reviewed 3 years ago

I was using PayPal shipping and they switched to ShipStation and what a mess with one problem after another. While PayPal was a free software the problems far out weight the $4.99 monthly charge I am now paying. I am able to generate labels faster and much less hassle. That alone makes this the perfcet solution.

Pros

I ship 10-20 packages a day both within the US and overseas. The software is easy to use and I did not need any training on how to use it. As you input name and street the program provides suggested city, state, zip, one click and it is inputted. Got one you sent to often, it has a history feature. I ship for three different cost centers and it allows me to select which one and provides an accounting summary. Makes book keeping easy.

Cons

Because I have three cost centers I need to select one for each label. Would like it to stay on one until I change. Also payment to Pitney, it not automatic and so need to fill the up the money every once ein a while.

Great Model but too expensive and lacks compatibility

Reviewed 3 years ago

It was a great service while my company was getting started but without the compatibility with e-commerce sites it made shipping orders of new customers a lengthy process due to having to manually input shipping addresses. There are better services that cost less. This service is ideal for start up companies.

Pros

Loved the ease of use, ability to save contacts for quick shipments, line of credit options and prompt shipping notifications

Cons

The cost was too much compared to others since you have to pay for the service monthly. No compatibility with e-commerce sites which made shipping orders a major hassle. Software crashed at least once a month and if it was after standard business hours including weekends you had to wait until the next business day to talk with customer service or tech support. Wouldn’t recommend for companies that set same day or next day shipping expectations with customers.

Vendor response

Thanks for the honest review Thomas. I'll get your feedback to product management and see how we can do better to meet your expectations.

Reviewed 3 years ago

Easy to use and at a great price!

Pros

I really like SendPro Online and the desktop software because it's easy for everyone to use in the office, easy to get shipping labels or even just stamps printed on letters which saves us time. It's very easy to compare shipping prices between USPS, UPS, and Fedex to make sure we are getting the best rates.

Cons

I wish the software allowed us to print directly onto a postcard so we could bulk print postcards that we send out.

Thanks for the glowing review Shannon. So glad its easy for everyone in the office to use.

Hate the changes to SendPro. No longer “Free”

Reviewed 6 years ago

No longer pleased. Trying to push me into a subscription service that I pay for monthly. Customer supper has not been helpful. I have supplies that I can no longer use so I’m out of money on it and there was no forewarning before I purchased these. Disappointed.

Pros

At home printing of stamps on my QL700 saved many trips to the post office

Cons

Since changing to SendPro, I can no longer print stamps on the roll. If purchased several rolls of the die cut stamp rolls and now I can’t even use these...and customer support has no timeline on when this will be fixed. System now prompts me to “upgrade” to do what I’d previously been able to do for no extra fee.
