Pros

“I frequently find myself wishing for richer features and more advanced controls without having to move to a more complicated platform.”

Jonathan S.

Founder

“I love shippo, because even when you save some a dollar for each shipping label, it adds up, and when you have hundreds of orders you can easily save hundreds of dollars.”

Heldor G.

Owner.

“It makes shipping domestic packages to our customers so much easier by eliminating double entry.”

Michelle U.

VP Operations

Pros

“XPS gave us the ability for many users; i.e. shipping and customer service departments, to see status of our shipments to our clients so everyone could give updates. ”

MaryAnn N.

General Manager

“XPS offers a great solution for printing labels, tracking delivery status, and integrates with many website platforms. Since the integration with Wix, it has made my life much simpler!”

Brian E.

Owner

“I love that you can integrate your websites so the shipping addresses are all right there, you can check USPS, FEDEX, and UPS pricing all on one screen, and I can schedule the pick up from here also!”

Heidi R.

Manager

Cons

“Another annoying issue is needing to pay for every single shipment with a different credit card transaction when using Shippo's accounts.”

Michelle U.

VP Operations

“Shippo's simplicity can also be its biggest weakness.”

Jonathan S.

Founder

“I didn't like the platform's shipping label customization which offers basic customization options, I would like more flexibility to design my own labels, including the ability to add my logo or specific branding.”

Liliana S.

GED

Cons

“Sometimes if the wifi isn’t real strong it needs to be rebooted to accurately quote shipping prices.”

Porschea W.

Co Owner

“There also is not the ability to print many labels at once. If I send 10 packages, I have to load 5 label sheets (2 labels per sheet) then flip them halfway through.”

Patrick M.

Production Supervisor

“If looking at UPS rates it does not automatically verify residential addresses as the UPS site does and can lead to under charging if customer pays shipping”
