ShipStation has been the perfect system for our e-commerce business with a limited number of tangible SKUs we ship to customers in the US and Canada. The software is user friendly and very affordable compared to all of the other systems I reviewed. The onboarding process was awesome. Chelly Bell was my account rep and my weekly calls with her resolved every issue and question I ever had. Thanks ShipStation and Chelly!

They will incorrectly overcharge you for a shipment 6 months ago, then claim its bast the dispute window when you reach out to them about it, they literally stole thousands

Shipstation has a stranglehold on shipping, so I still use them for some things. But they are exceedingly bad. For example, 19 days ago Shipstation changed international shipping defaults so that I am now covering duties and taxes for international shipments. But, they did not notify me or my team of this setting being defaulted to "on" all the time. The result is that I have accidentally incurred massive costs that were meant to be paid by my customers and that I did not account for. I'm still waiting on invoices to come in from my couriers to see what the total loss is. I contacted their support and they showed me how to turn this off. But when I asked about why it was set to on for 19 days, and why no one notified me of this critical change to defaults; the best I got was an apology. I wonder how many users are unwittingly incurring these fees. The setting is burried well below the customs declaration in an area with obscure an infrequently used settings, so I suspect that many users are not aware.
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced. We understand how unexpected duties and taxes can significantly impact your business, and we take concerns like this very seriously. We did want to clarify one important point: the Delivered Duties Paid (DDP) option was not automatically enabled for merchants. This feature required an explicit opt-in through a Pendo in-app message. It’s possible that the prompt may have been missed or unintentionally dismissed, but we did not turn this setting on by default or make changes on behalf of users. That said, we completely understand how easily something like this can be overlooked, especially during busy order periods. Your experience highlights the importance of ensuring feature changes and optional settings are communicated as clearly as possible, and we’re actively reviewing how we can make that even better. Our team will be reaching out directly to discuss your situation and see what options we have to help make things right. If you have any immediate questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help!

We loved Shipstation until the tariffs came into play. Having no way to upload customs documents for our CUSMA/USCMA compliant items is a total deal breaker. We tried to be patient and wait for a solution but they have done nothing about it when most of their competitors have.
Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the recent tariff and customs documentation requirements have impacted your experience with ShipStation. We understand how essential CUSMA/USMCA support is for merchants, and we completely appreciate why this became a deal breaker for your business. I want to assure you that the ability to upload and manage customs documents is on our product roadmap. While we don’t have a firm ETA to provide yet, our team is actively working toward a solution. We know this functionality is important to many merchants, and your feedback has been invaluable in helping us prioritize it. We’re sorry to lose you as a customer, but we appreciate the time you spent with us. If you ever decide to revisit ShipStation in the future, we’d be happy to help in any way we can.

Switching to ShipStation has been the best decision we’ve made this year. The platform is incredibly versatile, user-friendly, and easy to navigate. It gives us full visibility and control over all our shipping needs. We’re very satisfied with the experience, and their customer support has been excellent!

Shipstation has a lot of Shopify connectivity. They also have great customer service who have always been helpful with letting me know what options our companies have, based on the service levels they purchase from Shipstation & Shopify

If given the option, I would immediately discontinue using ShipStation. The platform suffers from persistent bugs and an ineffective support team that consistently fails to resolve reported issues. In recent experience, even basic functionality—such as real-time synchronization with Shopify—frequently ceases without warning. No alerts or notifications are provided when sync failures occur, forcing users to detect problems reactively, often the following day. Manual intervention is then required to restore synchronization. Overall, ShipStation delivers a highly unreliable and poorly maintained software solution that falls far below acceptable standards for e-commerce integration tools.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to write your review! Our team has followed up with you via email to understand your surfaced pain points in greater detail. Hoping to hear back from you shortly!

ShipStation is THE WORST. I don't know if there are alternatives, but I loathe them to my bones. When you have an issue, you chat with someone that is EASL and each chat response takes 13-24 minutes. EACH RESPONSE. So when you have to chat for help, the roundrip costs you ALL DAY and the prize at the end is zero resolution to the problem because all they're doing is reading through the help documentation, which is where you started. SO MUCH HATE FOR SHIPSTATION. UGH.
We’re truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with ShipStation. This is far from the level of service we strive to provide. We completely understand how frustrating it can be when you're trying to resolve an issue and it feels like you're getting nowhere, especially when time is of the essence. We did reach out to you directly via email to offer a phone call, as we’d really like the opportunity to better understand the challenges you’ve faced and to work toward a resolution that actually meets your needs. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we're committed to doing better.

Beware, Beware, Beware! This morning, I added $550 to my ShipStation balance to purchase shipping labels for our orders. Shortly after, the company triple-charged our account, taking an additional $1,100. I reached out to their support team and provided proof of the unauthorized charges — each transaction clearly lists ShipStation in the description. Now, Shopify is investigating them for these unauthorized withdrawals. After further review, I discovered that other businesses have also been affected by ShipStation overcharging their accounts.
Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention! Our team has reached out to you in your open ticket to provide some clarity regarding those pending charges. If you could please get back with us, we'd be more than happy to dig into this further!

We have been happy with ShipStation so far. The setup process wasn't too complicated, and it has been a nice upgrade from Stamps.com. It is a nice option for larger businesses that have outgrown Stamps.

Competitive shipping rates, easy to use app and excellent customer support.

I cancelled our service more than 3 weeks ago and Shipstation continue to charge my credit card without my authority. Very buggy would not recommend using this as a shipping platform at all. Support is overseas and script based and they aren't able to resolve issues which cause delay in shipping orders.

Actually really good. Had a lot of concerns and been struggling with a shipping provider before I gave it a test (second time in 2 years). Aakriti did a great job onboarding us. Big influence on us to stay and configure all setting with this app.

Update: Justin worked to get this resolved, and Shipstation has now refunded the amount charged. I will continue to use Shipstation. Their software glitched (reviewed and admitted by the support staff), which removed a decimal point. This resulted in a customs charge being drawn from our bank account of almost $6000 instead of $60. They refuse to rectify or return the money.
Hi there, thank you for reaching out and making our team aware of this. We apologize for this frustrating experience. We have reached out and touched base with you by phone and will be following up via your open ticket once our team has additional context to provide.

We are just getting started with Shipstation and our onboarding and support with Chelly was a 10 out of 5 stars. Chelly was extemely knowledgable and patient to help even the non techy side of us!

Shipstation is fast and very user friendly. The support team is very helpful.

Ship Station is pure garbage. It only works occasionally. I have fixed it many times, the so called tech support has "fixed" it many times and at this point I gave up quite some time ago but yet I pay for it. I'm in process of shutting down the site after I have a huge sale to move the product in house out and I can honestly say I will be thrilled to see the last of Ship Station, the non working app that I can be rid of and not charged every month for absolutely nothing. I never want to hear the name again, EVER!!!!!! Susan Kennedy, Oregon Trail Soapers Supply.
Hi Susan, we’re truly sorry to hear about your ongoing frustrations with ShipStation and the experience you’ve had with our platform and team. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how disappointing and disruptive this must have been for you. Our team has reached out to you directly to better understand your concerns and discuss how we can make this right, whether that’s resolving outstanding technical issues or assisting you with a smooth transition away from ShipStation. We appreciate your candid feedback and the time you took to share it. It’s clear we’ve missed the mark here, and we’re committed to doing better.

We are very pleased with the features that ShipStation offers. We would especially like to thank Andrej for his outstanding support—without his help, we don’t think we would have been able to start using the service successfully. Thank you very much, Andrej!
