Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 65 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the ease of use and setup, finding the platform straightforward for creating labels and managing shipments. They often highlight the convenience of comparing prices from various carriers and the competitive rates offered, which helps save on shipping costs. Reviewers also mention the helpfulness and responsiveness of customer service in resolving billing issues and providing assistance. However, a significant number of people were dissatisfied with customer service, describing interactions as unhelpful or leading to account suspensions without clear reasons. Some customers also experienced unexpected surcharges and billing discrepancies, leading to higher costs than anticipated. There are also complaints about the user experience, with issues like frequent, non-optional changes to the interface, difficulties with thermal label printers, and a perceived slowness of the software.

Not trustworthy

I was looking at a few different providers to change my shipping services to. When I submitted a contact request to Shippo, I made a comment in the notes that I needed to be able to integrate with my eCommerce platform, and to please let me know if that would be possible or not (I included all the information they would need to check if that integration would be possible). When I received the confirmation email, I once again asked them to check if the integration would be possible. Then I got an email from someone that seems to be from the sales team confirming the appointment (although it was not from the person I would be having the meeting with or someone who I would be in contact with in the future, so I'm not sure what their role is or why it is necessary), I again asked them to check if the integration was possible, and to cancel the meeting if it was not. When I finally had the meeting, the representative seemed clueless that this was a concern of mine, and did somewhat promptly confirm that the integration was not possible.

Shippo's actions make it seem like they knew from the beginning that the integration would not be possible, but for some reason thought they could get me to sign up anyway if they could get me into the meeting. However, I really don't appreciate my time being wasted when they knew they did not have the solution I needed and not only did I not sign up with them, I'll now be posting everywhere I can to warn others of their shady practices, trying to deceive people into purchasing their service, knowing full well it will not fit their needs.

Account restricted for unknown reasons?? We always pay for each label and do not owe any fees or money to service.
We had 12 packages waiting to get to customers and NO support, we were about to lose a lot of business. Had to switch to save the company.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience and stress this situation caused.

We understand how frustrating this can be, especially when you're managing time-sensitive shipments. It’s never our intention to disrupt your business, and we apologize for the impact this had.

Our support team is committed to resolving issues quickly and helping you get back up and running with as little disruption as possible.

I thought I saved about $100 on a frequent shipment I’ve been making with carriers direct. 2 weeks after my first shipment I got 2 random charges on blank invoices for $90. After trying to deal with customer service they tried to tell me that the exact Amazon box sold and marketed at 14x14x14 was actually bigger and they passed on a zone adjustment and surcharge. They told me that if I bought a new box and filled it up again (2 weeks later ) they would submit a claim. Wtf? Go spend money and fill it up again? What a joke. First and last attempt with them. It’s the exact same cost to go directly to carriers. Total fraud and terrible service.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear about your experience.

We understand how frustrating and unexpected surcharges can be, especially when using standard packaging. These charges are passed directly from the carrier and are unfortunately outside of Shippo’s control. That said, we’re always here to help navigate the claims process and advocate on your behalf whenever possible.

We know our support team has been in touch, but if there’s anything more we can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I’ve used shippo for my small business for 6 years. It’s great until there is a problem. I had a damaged package and shippo customer service gave me the run around, not to mention you can’t talk to a live person! Now I am fighting with them because I paid extra for two day shipping, the package was not delivered in two days and they are again denying me any kind of refund.

Hi Darcie,

Thanks for leaving us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the frustration you've experienced recently.

After reviewing the details of your shipment, we can confirm that it was sent using UPS 2nd Day Air, a service that unfortunately does not include a money-back guarantee from the carrier. This means Shippo isn’t able to directly issue a refund in cases where the delivery may appear delayed.

That said, we see that you’ve been in touch with our support team, and our team has provided information on how you may still be able to pursue a refund directly with UPS, as they may choose to issue one at their discretion.

If there’s anything else we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Always extra charge.

We used it more than 1 year. They are charging always some extra. Our packages maximum is 20kg. But they are charging us extra extra. They say reason package is 100kg. It is impossible. Dpd is not accepting 100kg parcels. I will not use this company any more.

Our support team is in contact with you and currently waiting on your response so we can continue assisting you with this issue.

Only ship low value items

While the Shippo experience it self was pleasant and everyone at Shippo was helpful the insurance company they use is horrible.
Xcover is the worst company we ever worked with. Package arrived damaged and they just denied coverage saying it probably wasn't packaged correctly.
It also took almost 2 months of constant requesting more evidence and trying to reach them to get a "denied".

Hi Alex,

Thanks for leaving us a review. While we’re glad to hear that your interactions with Shippo were positive, we're truly sorry to learn about the frustration you faced with the insurance claims process through XCover. That’s not the experience we want for our customers.

We'll be sharing this feedback directly with both our internal team and XCover to help improve the process.

If there's anything else we can do to support you, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Exceeds my expectations

The ease of using your web portal, variety of shipping options, and flexibility of shipping rates make this a go-to for my small business needs.

Shippo is easy to use

Shippo is easy to use, the instructions are clear, and shipper options are displayed with prices from low to high. The shipper options display with price and number of days to delivery.

Undermines Customer Service to the recipient

I am not a seller using Shippo to ship things, but am instead a buying customer who is supposed to be on the receiving end of Shippo services. For the past half year or so, I've noticed that EVERY time a seller uses Shippo to fulfill my order, there are several days-long delays in getting my items. If you are in business -- and *especially* if you are a small business -- who is trying to set yourself apart with great customer service and quick turn-around for deliveries, Shippo often undermines that experience for the end-buyer. I feel bad for the warehouse workers who are pressured to whip out orders within a few hours of them being placed, only to have the shipment delayed for weeks in transit.

Hi there,

Thanks for leaving us a review. We're sorry to hear about the delays you've encountered. To clarify, Shippo is a multi-carrier shipping software that helps e-commerce merchants purchase labels from a range of trusted carriers like UPS, FedEx, USPS, and others. We are not the carrier responsible for shipping the items.

Once a package is in transit, the delivery timeline and potential delays are determined by the carrier, not Shippo. We understand how frustrating delays can be, and we encourage you to reach out to the carrier directly if you ever have inquiries about a delayed package.

We value our relationships with all of our carrier partners and work closely with them to help merchants provide the best possible service.

Non existent customer support

Non existent customer support. Literally impossible to get a reply. We are a small business who very frequently uses Go Shippo to ship our products to customers. We mailed a package via UPS last month but, unfortunately, the package arrived at the UPS facility completely damaged. Rather than UPS sending photos as proof that all 8 bottles of merchandise were broken, they simply informed us that the box was totally damaged and therefore they discarded the entire package. We submitted an insurance claim to UPS which was approved but, for some reason, our refund check was sent to GoShippo rather than to us. As it’s actually impossible to reach a GS customer service rep via phone, we tried emailing support but have heard nothing back from them. We have also tried calling the number I see posted by GS in response to other complaints I see here on Trust Pilot. Sadly, we reach a message that just tells us we need to communicate via email. We have been left feeling very frustrated by the entire experience and and sadly now seem to out of luck here. GoShippo has our check and there is absolutely no way to reach them!

Absolutely love this website and its ease of use, compared to most other shipping platforms. Things mostly just work and are easy to find and available. Unlike some other shipping platforms, like one that starts with "Ship-" also, that are incredibly difficult to use, expensive, and have terrible support. Not Shippo - their support actually provides helpful resolutions and understand what I say. Shippo helped grow my very small business - for that, I am thankful!

Item description character

If an Item description is more than 40 characters (like a title on Etsy) cut it off automatically instead of having me go into EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM and make sure it's below the limit.

Need proper integration with WooCommerce as the tracking number doesn't get added automatically, so again I have to add them manually to each order

Great discounts

Once I figured out the website it became easy for me to produce labels for my personal shipping at a fraction of the regular cost. I've recommended it to several friends. Great site.

Shippo makes shipping easy and fast

Shippo is incredibly easy to use. It speeds up all aspects of my shipping and saves me money at the same time. It presents all of my options for shipping so I can compare prices and delivery times and decide which to use which is a huge time saver alone. I am very happy with their service overall and will continue to use it.
