WheezyT review for Packlink PRO Shipping Platform

June 1, 2021

Discovered the app totally by accident while researching some shipping stuff. Installed it to see if it could make life any easier and within 24 hours had a call from a very pleasant and helpful account manager, who clearly knew their stuff. Linking to your shopify store is pretty simple, it requires an extra step involving pasting a key code in to a box that most apps don't have, but aside from that it's pretty standard stuff. Pulling your orders through to the Packlink app is easy, and it gives you shipping rates right there and then (and updates in real time if you need to edit your package dimensions/weight). I had previously been doing things manually, 1 at a time via the UPS website which takes a frustrating amount of time. My only peeve is the customs form that is supplied with each shipment. This must be filled in manually, and no information is pulled from the order details. I was told that this is something that is being worked on however, so hopefully soon it won't be an issue. Final note - The rates they offer are extremely competitive. I've already saved a significant amount shipping via Packlink than if I'd set up my own shipments via UPS. If you don't do enough shipping to qualify for the discounts UPS/FedEx/whatever offer then Packlink is definitely worth looking in to.
