Summary
Do not expect honesty and integrity from this company. Very poor customer service. I would not recommend. Since starting with them in April I have been very dissatisfied with their service. At the end of May I reached out and requested they close my account and refund me for the month of May (I had not used their services), they chose to completely ignored my request. I found out today they had not in fact closed my account down and they charged me again for a second month in a row. I called, nicely explained everything, the customer service rep told me I could go to my bank and file fraud. Absolutely despicable. They have no record of me using their services for the past two months, it's so low of them to refuse to refund me, especially since they have my email from when I requested my account be shut down and I be refunded in May.

It helped automate my client's current shipping solution and attention was paid to our every need making it a seamless transition. Thanks to Jake for creating the Doc Tab templates to the client's specifications!

No. Jake was always prompt, friendly and helped navigate us through adding FedEx and UPS to the respective thermal printers. He helped us by creating doc tabs for the labels that the client requested in a timely manner.

The tools are excellent out of the box, and the flexibility to easily incorporate business rules is key to supporting our objectives of on-time, cost effective fulfilment. However, this review is especially a reflection on the service and support that we received thus far. The team is highly responsive, always helpful and FOLLOWS UP better than you would expect with a reasonably priced SAAS partner. I have engaged with a handful of associates throughout the project, and each has been highly effective and pleasant - sure sign of a best in class service organization.

ShipWorks is a great piece of software. The support is outstanding, very knowledgable and always available by phone to fix any problem. They even customized some features for us and taylored our email and label templates to fit our needs. I could not be happier. We use a server based installation of ShipWorks that is accessable throughout our IT network so eveyone works off the same database. The system is rock-solid. It is way more stable than out longtime in market "accounting software". This is one of the best SaaS experience I have had since in the e-commerce business. (7+ years). I only wish it was cloud based so we can work remote when needed.

The Shipworks software has changed our business. We are a small company in the horticulture industry that serves distributors, retailers, and homeowners. During our shipping season we only employ 5 people. With this software we have been able to increase our homeowner sales by 300%. The software makes shipping faster and cheaper than our old method. Shipworks also has the best technical support staff we have ever experienced. Every time we call we receive courteous, knowledgeable and helpful service. We haven't ever had a bad experience with tech support. The cost of Shipworks is minimal compared to the benefit we receive.

We had to switch from another service/software in order to be able to print a certain bulk mail label type. We had to literally make the switch within hours of finding out about a new regulation. I had never heard of shipworks prior to that, and so I only dreamed we could get it all up and running for our business and switched over literally within a couple hours. Thanks to great software and support, dream became reality.

Shipworks has been with us since we were eCommerce infants and carried us through 2000 shipments a day without a glitch. The best thing about shipworks for us is the ease and flexibility of filtering. Any cross section of orders by date, market, item, cost, or any other order attribute is easy and available. This platform has cut thousands of hours out of our daily workflow and provides us with any report we need for insight into our performance. The staff at shipworks is extremely knowledgeable, you feel like you're talking to the software developer, makes the learning curve much smoother and easier to absorb the fundamentals of the software. I've had them make a variety of custom reports and exports and they've delivered with dead-eye accuracy and next day speed. As a developer myself Shipworks is a master class in database management and customer interface construction.

We have multiple e-commerce platforms (shopify, magento, bigcommerce), and we sell on e-bay, amazon, and new egg. Whenever we have need for a new platform, we have always made sure that it will connect with Shipworks because it has become so pivotal for us, and just about every program has turned out not only to be completely compatible, but ready for immediate setup thanks to their long list of compatible integrations. Shipworks has been a fantastic connection with each of these channels. Their automation is outstanding, and incredibly affordable. Their tech support is fast, thorough, and I have had many experiences calling them over the last 4 years. We'll be using Shipworks for a long time.

Has made life so much easier using shipworks compared to purchasing shipping directly from Amazon.

Best shipping program around. Also it helps us in other areas such as calculating our state sales tax on our Amazon store, making notes about "***" customers that have taken advantage of our company so we know not to sell to them on future orders. Has helped us in so many other ways. I would highly recommend taking the time to let Shipworks customer service show you how to work the program. It may look like a lot to learn at first but after a few days it becomes so simple. Highly recommend!!

Summary
Different businesses will have different needs, but Shipworks has been the best for us. We tested Shipstation and some other options before choosing Shipworks, and occasionally since to make sure we still have the best choice available to us. For the sake of this review we'll compare a couple things to Shipstation, since that's probably the other most commonly used service. We won't even mention shipping directly through marketplaces, because frankly either service is better than that. Shipworks has a few features that edged it out, some key ones to us were: -More flexibility in the "rubber stamps" portion of labels as far as order information goes. Shipstation is easier to adjust because it's drop-down based, but Shipworks allows more formatting and data options that are useful to us since we have long SKUs. -More control over automatic downloads from marketplaces. With Shipworks you don't have to manually instigate a download to make sure it updates frequently, you can set times to download easily. -Local hosting in our experience means easy access to past order information, and easier editing of orders when needed. -Lastly, which is huge to us, is how well it works with SkuVault. We love SkuVault and have no intentions of changing to a different inventory software, Shipworks and SkuVault get along perfectly. SkuVault has a very good relationship with them, and can help tweak settings to get the best out of the integration.

Summary
I've been selling online since 2001 beginning with eBay and have moved through a lot of learning stages over the years how to ship my packages more efficiently. Here is what I love most about ShipWorks: Amazing Customer Support: Their customer support is amazing. Anytime I have a problem I don't have to spend ten minutes identifying myself before a tech can help me. I simply click on a few buttons to bring a box up to enter a PIN number given to me by the tech that allows him or her access to my computer. Every tech I've worked with has been incredibly knowledgeable and has been able to resolve any problem I've had very quickly. This remote control feature is a huge timesaver whenever I need help quickly. ShipWorks Provides a Complete Database of My Customers and Orders: ShipWorks makes printing shipping labels a snap, but I also love the fact that I have a complete database of all of my customers and orders. That's really helpful if a customer needs support. I can look up orders easily by name, order number, state, city etc. I can do this very quickly while my customer is on the phone with me. ShipWorks Integrates Well With Seller Active for Multiple Sales Channels: Presently I'm using Seller Active to sell on multiple channels including Walmart.com and Amazon, and ShipWorks integrates smoothly with Seller Active. ShipWorks also integrates with Channel Advisor, which I highly recommend to AVOID, and it integrates well with Stamps.com which is the company I use to purchase my postage. I use all three of these businesses together in one package and it saves me a LOT of time handling orders. I could write a lot more positive comments about ShipWorks, but I've mentioned the most important features I use. The software has a lot of other uses and capabilities that I've just not had the time to learn how to use yet. I highly recommend ShipWorks and could not live without it. 🙂

Time spent processing orders is cut in half with the ease of use Shipworks brings to the table. The new pricing plan now includes as many stores as you wants so we use it for our online store, eBay and now Etsy. The free stamps.com account now allows us to ship via any USPS service for our ebay and etsy orders allowing us to be competitive on product pricing with free shipping. We still choose UPS for our online store which is also hassle free. Shipworks support is a breeze. Every representative is very knowledgeable and the wait times are never more than a few minutes. The ability for them to remote to the computer through the Shipworks program makes it easy for them to troubleshoot the problem and fix it fast! I would recommend this software to any business big or small!

Allowing for email server set-up is helpful as well to provide shipping notifications on non-store sales (large group orders, etc). Support team is incredibly helpful and attentive, we never wait more than an hour or two for a response or follow and that's usually a phone call with hands on support. They have been a life safer more than once! Reports could be better but for the most part, our needs are met.

ShipWorks Server Outages A Persistent Problem
What where the positives?
Nice and polite customer support
Any negatives?
Time to upgrade your server or buy a backup server already:!:
Summary
ShipWorks is a good software if you sell leisurely on a part-time basis. It is not a reliable software for serious sellers looking to build good positive feedbacks on Amazon or eBay because of the persistent ShipWorks server outages. Although the software runs locally, it has to get approval from ShipWorks server when each order is processed. So, the software cannot process any order when ShipWorks server is down, which happens a few times a year usually during peak times. Their server was down again most of today so we could not get most of our orders processed despite our best efforts and rushing at the end of the day. Now, we are worried that we might get negative feedbacks as a result of not shipping the packages on time. Support staff were polite and apologetic when their server is down.

We have used ShipWorks for over a decade now and could not imagine life without it. ShipWorks simplifies aggregating orders from multiple selling channels (Amazon, Ebay, Miva Merchant, Shopify, etc..) and handling the entire shipping process for all orders. It also uploads the required shipping information and order status to each selling channel. Also has remote accessing capability that connects remote users to connect and connect to the main working database. This is very useful for customer service and accessing order info for all orders. When I first started https://HotSnapZ.com we were cutting and pasting address fields, amazing how far since then. ShipWorks' Customer service is great and I cannot stress how much this program will improve your business Mojo if you are on multiple selling platforms. Try it out... Ray from HotSnapZ.com

This is one of the only shipping software programs that will print labels for standard envelopes. It handles all the major selling interfaces. I have ebay, Amazon and Magento and they all work faultlessly. It also handles shipping to Canada and APO without:): any issues. And if you have any issues at all the support staff just takes control of your computer and they are fixed. I have never had to wait on hold over 5 minutes for support and they have always fixed my problem with the first call. Without a doubt the best support in the industry.:)

Summary
We sell on Amazon and a score of other markets. We require a shipping platform that can integrate all the markets and perform 100% reliably. Shipworks Excels at reliability and integrates with every market that we have even considered. We also have a subscription to ShipStation, but we only use them when we need to ship with a specialty carrier, because of the ease of use and quality of care in shipworks. Whenever we have an issue, getting a rep on the phone is a quick and painless procedure. They speak English fluently(I think they are in Texas) and they know their stuff. Thank you Shipworks for helping us grow 0 in the last 3 years. Mike K

The best option that we have found
What where the positives?
We have been with Shipworks for over 10 years. About every other year, we evaluate a competitor and consider switching. Every time, we have concluded the Shipworks is the best option for us. Processing speed: Excellent. We process orders quickly and efficiently. If you are an Amazon seller, make sure that you ask Shipworks to set up and hourly upload of Amazon data. When we first started, uploads were done at the same time the order was processed. This really slowed things down at times. Packing slips: You have to know CSS to customize the packing slips. Or,...you can contact Shipworks and they can do it for you. Order management: We have set up Shipworks with several buckets for orders. When a new order comes in, we know right away which ones need work first. Employee training: I have found that most employees quickly understand Shipworks and can start processing orders.
Any negatives?
Shipworks needs to be able to remember the last shipping settings used for orders. They do remember the weight, just not the other settings. This would really help.
Summary
When you get someone on the line, the support is outstanding. I can't think of a time when I didn't get complete resolution to my problem on the first try. Of course, when you are down, the minutes pass like hours. I can't remember a time when we weren't up and running again on the same day we had the problem. Note: Make sure Shipworks sets up a database back up to run each day - we point ours to an external drive. That way, if you have a problem with the program or the computer, you can be up an running again very soon. Just download the software again and install. When you are doing the install, shipworks will ask if you have a backup database. We are on our fourth PC running shipworks. This is really great when you are setting up a new computer, as nothing really needs to be saved/transferred from the old computer. Just install and update and you are ready to run.

We have been using ShipWorks for many years now. It is a vital part of our business for shipping and invoicing. I'm writing a review because the support at ShipWorks is really amazing. Someone answers the phone every time and they can always solve issues within in a few minutes. I think it is rare for a company of this size to actually have a person pickup the phone and speak with you. There is no recording or voice activated prompts to go through to get a person on the line. They simply answer the phone and help the customer. The support from this company is the best!

We have been using Shipworks for about 6-7 years. It is easy to use with our Magento store and is very quick. 99%+ up-time. Occasionally there are hiccups that generally are caused by SQL server, and I experienced an episode two days ago after about two years of no issues. I called and figured out an immediate work around with the support person. Later they called me back and remotely fixed the issue. So I was able to ship each day. You feel powerless when you can't ship and you can't fix it yourself, and shipworks has always been great about solving the problem quickly.

Integrated shipping for web based sales
What where the positives?
Lets you see and compare shipping sources in one location with just a few clicks.
Any negatives?
The site is very intuitive and very complete. Especially for something that can get as complex as shipping. It would be nice to be able to "split" orders for those times when it is best to ship a line items into 2 or more separate shipments but it is pretty easy to create a duplicate manually when needed.
Summary
Support is the best. I have never experienced the "troubleshooting out of the book" approach when contacting support. Always get to talk with a professional that understands the software.

We have 6 e-stores and Shipworks has allowed us to consolidate all of the orders and be able to ship from one platform. Saves us hours a week having everything in one location. We are even able to have multiple shipper options with shipworks and quickly see price comparisons.

8)On my 30 day trial and not even a full fledged customer yet but they continue to help me set up the process in detail hoping that I become permanent. I intend to do so just based on their CS!!! Very happy with the product, ease of use and the scaleability for future tasks. I am able to customize and control everything from their control panel to the point that I really no longer need to log into my store and make any updates or follow orders. I came from TrueShip and after 3 years with them I found a more robust and easier to use platform.

The best support staff in the business!
What where the positives?
I needed the program to fulfill a very specific purpose for a startup company we are helping to manage. This wasn't a boiler plate type of solutions I needed, and something that many companies just do not support because it's not common. However, ShipWorks staff was able to modify and adjust their current software to fulfill my needs perfectly.
Any negatives?
The only thing the software couldn't do was "automate" emailing a return shipping label whenever an order was placed. Again, this is a very limited niche in the marketplace so I can't imagine there would be much of a demand for such a feature besides myself and a handful of other people. However, they set it up to where it's just 1 click and the label is sent. Another option would be a mobile app for the software, but I'm sure something as robust as this would have quite a hard time fitting onto a mobile application.
Summary
I can't say enough about the support staff. I've dealt with hundreds of companies in the shipping / ecommerce game in my career and I've never experienced anything like I did with this company. Every single problem I had - no matter who I talked to - they were genuinely excited to help me find a solution to my problem. I still am in sort of disbelief and the amount of effort this staff put into my account (even when I was on a free trail in the beginning and they weren't making a dime off me). They do not outsource their customer service either, so you're always talking to someone stateside who can communicate clearly. A ton of fortune 500 companies could learn from how this staff operates, 10/10 in every way.

😀 THOMAS SHANNON, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THAT HELPED US WAS GREAT! HE KNEW HIS STUFF AND HELPED US FIGURE OUT A COMPLEX ISSUE AND GET IT WORKING! THANK YOU! We came to Shipworks to print a large number of FED EX labels because FED EX didn't offer a software that would help us. We didn't want to spend all day printing labels. We were able to modify our spreadsheet to your system so we got 300 FED EX labels printed in like 10 minutes! You definitely market that because I know there are others in the same situation as us, needing a lot of labels and don't have time to do it one by one. Thanks so much!

What where the positives?
OK product but Shipworks is falling behind the competition. With more and more products being offered in this category, they'll need to step up or become irrelevant.
Any negatives?
Less crashing, more carriers, more partners, ability to view multiple carrier's shipping rates at once without having to use the drop down menu. Shipworks should also consider integrating an inventory system.

We have been a ShipWorks client for over 10 years. We love it. ShipWorks is our "back room" for all the orders we ship from our 2 stores. We have all the data on all orders and customers from the very beginning of our adopting the ShipWorks platform. The customer service they provide is the very best. When we need assistance we first look at the FAQs or send them an email trouble report. They answer immediately and in most cases our problem is solved within hours. Their updates are easy to install and the database is always kept current. Using ShipWorks we get the very best rates on USPS and package insurance (when we need it) at very reasonable rate. We ship approximately 150 packages a month and use USPS and FedEx.

We have been with shipworks for 8 years now. I don't know how we would have managed without out it. It handles 4 of our online stores any makes working a breeze rather than a nightmare. Downloads the orders from each store...can be set to print them out automatically. Connects directly to UPS or stamps.com to make the shipping label. So much better by far than the clunky and slow worldship. In 8 years we have had only a couple of minor problems and their tech support was able to solve and correct the way you would expect an expert to do. Can't say enough to praise this software as it just is phenominal!!!

Most of the other reviews are pretty accurate so I just give some basic Pros and Cons from my experience with Shipworks. PRO: -Speed and interface is beautiful. It take seconds for me to lookup old orders as their DB is very robust. -So many customization. CON: -Weight by SKU is not built in. -Does not handle international orders well. Actually, I have to reprint them multiple times because Shipworks keep choking on them. -Not very user friendly. Learning curve is quite step IMO. -No Pick List -No reporting feature. -Not enough built-in off the shelf features. I don't want to customize everything. Just give me some standard features so i don't have to waste time customizing it. All in all, the cons are dealbreakers for me so I am no longer a Shipworks customer. It is not a bad solution if you require lot of customization and don't mind the learning curve.

I currently use Vendio to list my items on eBay and would like to for Amazon but there is a bug there that they have not fixed for months. Shipworks is "bugless" software. Here's some of what it does: 1. click one button and all the shipments download for amazon and ebay. 2. the orders are numbered by shipworks making them easy to find and organize. 3. great search function. 4. link to ebay and amazon item so you can quickly verify the item being sold. 5. thumbnail of item on printed order form. 6. fast upload of orders from Paypal payment. sometimes this does not work at all on vendio. 7. sends emails to customers with updated direct link to their order. 8. awesome customer support. they logged into my computer and 10 minutes later they had customized it the way I wanted and got all the settings right. 9. did not charge for other issues that came up and quickly responded 90% of the time. and to do some of the fixes they saw that logging into my computer remotely would be easiest and did so in a few minutes. 10. very nice look and feel to the software. intuitive to use. Well thought out software. Very nicely done. 11. prints out notes customers have requested for items. this is a big deal sometimes as customers ask for no invoice in box sometimes for gifts. Vendio does not do that. 12. This software blows away endecia. 13. many other small things that are just nice touches and show careful though and insight into what users would need. I can print a label usually in seconds. type in the weight and click print. Some may question buying software just for shipping. I can process 30 orders in 30 minutes including putting on their labels. amazing. Things I'd like to see that are currently not available: 1. does NOT tell you when you void an item that you will be refunded. this needs to change. 2. no easy way to see how much you've been charged for shipping. 3. easy way to ship items that have not been imported by ebay or amazon. (things I sell on my own store). be able to cut and paste address in one field similar to endecia setup. Thank you very much Shipworks. I only wish Vendio was as thoughtfull as you are in their programming.

Wow! Awesome, user-friendly, and easy-to-use tool. It definitely streamlines the shipping process for so many. Without a doubt... Shipworks is the first shipping tool that really works, and actually works well with FedEx. I love how it retrieves the customer's shipping information and automatically inputs 999-999-9999 for missing phone numbers. This really saves me a lot of time, and of course, I save a lot of time not having to copy and paste my shipping information into FedEx's site. Additionally, it simplifies the whole FedEx process for package input and integrates beautifully with PayPal. I also like how all my FedEx shipments are automatically marked 'Shipped' within My eBay interface since I do some auction management there. It provides a lot of back-end auction management features like printing packing slips and sending out email shipping confirmations. This is a robust tool that is worth every penny! WISH LIST - I just wish Shipworks had the ability to confirm shipping addresses before processing shipping labels. - Another wish is that it would integrate directly with USPS shipping "printing & billing" vs. "just printing" a label. I know it integrates with Endicia and stamps.com, which provide the "printing & billing" service. However, I am not a member of either service because I use FedEx most of the time and can't justify paying their fees. Therefore, I wish Shipworks would fully integrate with USPS directly or indirectly via PayPal.

Summary
We started out by processing all (eBay Platinum power seller zachary0fec ) orders via PayPal, which took 1-2 minutes per order. After reaching 100-200 orders per day, we were simply overwhelmed. In fact, I don't know why we didn't look at shipworks sooner. Shipworks reduced order processing time to an average of about 10-15 seconds per order (or 6-8x faster). With more optimization of our process, we could reduce this time further. At this point, I've used the software for over a year. I'm looking into a new ecommerce site BASED ON what Shipworks supports. It is an integral and required part of our business. As an added testimonial - they added a feature to the software that we had requested that simplified inventory tracking for us. Tech support (phone, chat, message board and email) have always been excellent. For anyone who has experienced eBay or PayPal support - Shipwork is the exact opposite. They're simply fantastic. I recommend Shipworks for your eBay or ecommerce business without reservation.

Summary
Every Christmas season, no matter how fast we packaged the orders, the creating/printing of shipping labels always took forever. We spent hours & hours copying/pasting customer names & addresses back and forth, not including the shipping errors and mistakes due to typos. Now it only takes 3-4 mouse clicks and a few SECONDS and we're DONE. What took me HOURS now literally takes a SECONDS. It's so riduculously easy and simple, somedays I still marvel at how this could even be possible. ShipWorks = downloads my orders & prints the packing slips (takes 1-2 mouse clicks), prints the shipping label & emails the customers their tracking #'s (takes 2 more mouse clicks) = 3-4 mouse clicks, whether you have 1 order or 1000 orders. Do you know how long this would have taken me prior to Shipworks? HOURS! I swear, this is the absolute easiest program ever created, if you know how to use a mouse then you know how to use ShipWorks. I don't think I even use much of the keyboard once I setup the templates and defaults. Tech support is awesome, there were times when they helped me during some really late night ours on the template designs and basic troubleshooting. I could not live without ShipWorks, ever again, I would pay double or triple the $$ cost. Besides the inventory itself, ShipWorks would be the second most important asset. ShipWorks is just awesome, plain and simple.
