Parcelify: Shipping Rates

No way to sort/organize your rates in the backend interface making it a nightmare to juggle more than a few rates. It does what we need it to but is not even close to being user friendly. Built a user base as a free app, but they have yet to make any improvements or add any features since they started charging for it though that was their claimed reason.

We have tested other well-known apps and couldn't manage to set up those complex rules (combining price constraints, product constraints and even geo-location donw to the ZIP code constraints) we had to implement. So simple, yet so powerful! Support has been awesome and even provided some new features in no time.

For the money, this application is the best bang for your buck. It is a wee bit complicated to use but the kind lads working there spend much time, over email, explaining and teaching me how it all worked. Would recommend.

I have to say this is quite impressive if you have a logical mind. He has taken something very difficult and reduced it to a set of reasonable easy to understand rules. Very useful. TBH we will probably outgrow this but as an out of the box solution it is a brilliant solution to Shopify's sometimes bewildering lack of inbuilt functionality.

The apps is real easy to use and implement. Literally took 3 minutes. And thanks for making it so affordable.

Thanks to Richard, the president of the company, I now have Parcelify up and running! He sent over very detailed instructions in December and I finally had time to sit down to adjust my shipping. Everything looks like it is working great so far. It took me a while to understand how to set it up, but once you get it, it is very straightforward and easy to make changes. Definitely recommend!

Excellent app that solves the problem of Shopify's restrictive basic postage calculations. Take your time and read the help guide to learn the functions and how to build the equations that form the postage rules. Give yourself time to master the code and you can make some very specific postage rates that solve the problems of real world courier variations. I've been using this for ages now and won't be without it!

Excellent app, seamless integration and uncomplicated to use. Loads of different options to customize rates based on locales/basket size etc, just too easy.

WOW this is an AMAZING app! We had complicated shipping needs including some things that don't ship outside the UK, some things that ship international and we just couldn't see how we could set up rules to suit in native shopify. But parcelify came to our rescue. It's not as simple to set up as some reviews suggest if you aren't used to using these sorts of logic rules. BUT the customer support was brilliant and very patient. Once we got the hang of how the rules work we were able to sort out all our shipping needs and couldn't recommend parcelify highly enough.

Does everything we needed and more! Amazing app. Easy to use. Makes up for what we felt was missing from basic shopify shipping.

I absolutely love this app. I gave it 4 stars because there are a few features missing that would make this app a lot more manageable. Despite that, the app provides the functionality from the store capability point of view that is unmatched. Don't be fooled by its name. When I first saw it, I skipped it and purchased an expensive app that did not work all that well and then I stumbled upon this one again and now I cannot do without it. Thanks to the developers that came up with it. fantastic job.

This is an AMAZING app! We need multi-origin shipping rates (the way stores who use dropshipping do), and could not find a reasonable solution...and saw that other folks have been asking the question for years without any good answers. Now their is a very clear answer: Parcelify! It is feature rich, easy to set up and comes with great support. USE THIS APP!!

Superb app. Using regexes to manage allowable postcodes is genius and works perfectly.

Great app for the price :) Very happy with it

Life saver app. its unfortunate you cant pay month to month on shopify and get this app too. But i think that is a shopify thing.

Parcelify is a simple, but powerful (and FREE) app. Figuring out the logic and how to appropriately setup the rates can be confusing, but a few quick questions emailed to the developer helped and the rest was a little trial and error. This is may be somewhat of an advanced tool for many Shopify users and may require some learning to use, but definitely worth the time. Honestly, Shopify should have something like this built in to begin with because it makes so much sense. Instead of paying for expensive apps that had options we really didn't need or want, we were able to setup different shipping rates and exclude certain items from those rates using product SKUs through this app. I honestly don't understand the negative reviews and they are probably due to people not understanding how to use the app.

Powerful app and I'm very thankful for open source! I quickly was able to provide shipping options for my surrounding cities to my wholesale customers to specific products so they can order online with the same rates I provide over the phone.

8/31/2018 Update: It looks like the original developer sold the app and now Parcelify is a paid app (it used to be free). We previously gave this 5 stars because it was a free app and it performed the intended function well. Now that it is a paid app though it should have a much easier to use interface. Setting up rules is complicated and time consuming. There are certain things that are trivial but add up; they price things in cents instead of dollars, you have to use certain keyboard symbols for and/or etc. They don't have a way to easily exclude US territories etc. It's a good app, but if they want customers to pay for it they should really consider updating the user interface. Original Review: The standard Shopify shipping options are an absolute joke. This app certainly has a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it the power of it is incredible. We are now able to offer all sorts of different shipping options since we can assign them at the SKU level, which is bringing us significantly more profit. You do need carrier calculated shipping to use the app (it's not an app issue, it's a Shopify restriction) which is only available on the Shopify Advanced plan. After some research you can call Shopify and ask for this feature and they will turn it on for $20/MO (you have to call though, this isn't advertised anywhere). If you switch your billing to annual they will also turn this feature on for free (you just call in and ask them to turn it on). Side Note: Shopify includes territories that are not states (Puerto Rico, Guam, Armed Forces Americas, Virgin Islands etc.) in the United States dropdown… so the US rates you setup will default to including those territories. Be sure to exclude them as states in Parcelify if you don't want your USA rates to pull to those territories.

Best app to customize shipping rates.

Nice, simple and free app that does what we need it to. The developer is also super responsive to questions. Thanks!
