Still think easyship has the best rates and service, if you’re looking. We still use Shipstation (and easyship on the side) because we haven’t made the whole switch over to easyship yet (things like this take time for our organization).
When we do use easyship, the process is easy and inexpensive.
The downside of pirateship is that they only have USPS. Shipstation’s primary downside is that it isn’t free; it’s $45 per month plus $5 for each additional user for the plan we use. Also, Shipstation’s rates are not quite as good as Shopify, so in some instances we lose money on shipping because customers are being charged according to shopify’s rates.
I never really liked shippingeasy or shippo based on research for them, so never tried them.
I recommend easyship primarily.
Though, it goes without saying, I would prefer to not have to use a third party software at all and instead just use shopify…but they have to get that scan form. We have moved (or will be moving) everything to operating through Shopify (our online store, amazon store, eBay store, and will be using Shopify POS by this time next year) except for shipping because of this stupid scan form issue!
Come on, Shopify. We want to put all of our business with you. Get with it!
