ShipStation Orders & Inventory

We had our onboarding call with Chelly today for our new ShipStation setup, and I have to say it was one of the best onboarding experiences I’ve ever had. We’ve been using ShipStation in our Canadian store for over five years, and somehow she still managed to show us things we never knew existed. Her knowledge was impressive, but what really stood out was how she shared it. Chelly brought a warm, genuine, human touch to the entire session while still being completely professional. Every question we had was answered clearly and confidently, and she never made us feel rushed. Instead, she encouraged us, made learning easy, and kept the whole experience positive and enjoyable. It’s rare to come across someone who brings that mix of expertise, kindness, and energy to their work. Chelly did, and we’re truly grateful. Highly recommend her — she made a real difference for us today.

This app has been game changing for our business. Fast, automated & makes 0 mistakes. Gets rid of human error and slow delivery service portals. Andrej from support is so helpful - set up a call to help us automate our shipping rules and products. Thank you so much!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
