I have been using Pirateship for a few years, and their customer service is outstanding. Their dashboard is easy to use and doesn't lag like other services. What I don't like is that they have increased their prices on shipping. They used to be on par with shopify but now Shopify has cheaper rates than they do. I only use it occasionally now.

I Love Pirate Ship! for all my shipping needs and my Shopify store. Integration has been seamless, and I've never had any trouble getting in touch with someone from customer service when I've had questions or concerns. Not sure if I can say this here, but cheaper than Shopify shipping!

I have used Pirate Ship for many yaers to send packages worldwide. They are simple to use, have great rates and make my business so much easier. And I love their Simple Export Rate for international packages (under 4 pounds). Their customer service is quick to respond and I am happy to continue using them for my Shopify orders as well as other aspects of my business.

We moved all of our shipping services to Pirate Ship this year. The migration with Shopify was quick, easy and seamless. Tech support is responsive and follows through with your issue. Rates are unbeatable! Thrilled to work with this wonderful service!

Integrating PirateShip with Shopify was quick and painless, eliminating a ton of copy/pasting that would normally be necessary were my accounts not linked, and I know I'm getting competitive rates and an online GUI that's simple to use. The only missing piece of the puzzle however, would be a way for PirateShip to *push* shipping rates into the Shopify checkout path so customers can proactively choose how they want their items sent. Of course this would also need to include things like the ability to add a fixed or variable upcharge for shipping materials and resources, but that's less critical. In short -- if you use Shopify, get this!
