Had to get a refund and refund our clients. ----- ### "ShipStation review" — 5.0/5 > **Alex** | *17 April 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: ShipStation Review: A Decade of Reliable Scaling After 10 years of managing logistics through ShipStation, it has remained the backbone of our fulfillment process. Transitioning from a small startup to a high-volume e-commerce brand requires a platform that evolves alongside your needs, and ShipStation has consistently delivered on that front. > > **Cons**: Prices went up in recent times and it's a bit high for our volumes at the moment. Other than that it's been always reliable > > The platform’s greatest strength is its ability to centralize orders. Whether you are selling on BigCommerce, Shopify, Amazon, or eBay, the sync is nearly instantaneous. It eliminates the manual labor of jumping between different marketplaces, allowing us to manage every shipment from a single, unified dashboard. ----- ### "Shipstation is a well developed usable tool" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 March 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy and intuitive to use, with great support and tools for everyday workflows, with good value for money. > > **Cons**: The email notifications can be a bit overwhelming, but they can be easily managed with filters, and support is always available to help > > Very, very positive, as a long-term user, it was easy to set up, has great features for tracking workflows ----- ### "Good concept, but reliability and support issues made us move on" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 May 2026* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: When it worked, ShipStation was useful for managing orders, buying labels, printing packing slips, and handling day-to-day shipping from one place. The basic concept is good, and for a while it helped streamline fulfillment compared to doing everything manually through each carrier or sales platform. > > **Cons**: The reliability and support became the major problems. I ran into repeated issues with packing slip formatting changing or breaking, label purchasing problems caused by small account/funding mismatches, added payment processing fees on labels, and support that often felt slow or unhelpful. Some features that should be basic seemed to get pushed behind upgrades or became harder to manage over time. For a small business, shipping software has to be dependable. If it creates extra friction during fulfillment, that defeats the purpose. > > I used ShipStation for my ecommerce business and eventually moved away from it because the problems started costing too much time. The software has a strong feature set on paper, but in practice I dealt with enough recurring issues that it became frustrating. Packing slips, account funding, label purchases, and support interactions all became pain points. I need shipping software to be boring, reliable, and fast. ShipStation had moments where it did that, but over time it became one more thing I had to babysit instead of a tool that made fulfillment easier. ----- Page: 1 / 40\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/155621/shipstation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/155621/shipstation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
