Pros

“I like how ShipRush simplifies shipping with its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with multiple carriers, saving time and reducing errors.”
JC

Jazmin C.

Customer Engagement specialist

“The integration with multiple carriers and easy label printing made it a breeze to manage, though a little more customization would have been nice!”

“We have a rental program, and we ship several boxes of equipment to a customer that we provide return labels for, and we have to do all the labels for the return individually”
CJ

Cindy J.

Ops Manager

Pros

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

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

“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?)”

Cons

“Cannot create multiple return labels for the same customer simultaneously.”
CJ

Ops Manager

“So, if you ship 100 orders per day, it's now costing you an additional $20 per day or $600 per month!! ”
KS

Kelly S.

Owner

“I'm pretty sure they're going to start hemorrhaging customers left and right, or at least customers who ship a lot of items like ourselves.”
KS

Kelly S.

Owner

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

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

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.”
