Customer service is great! Very happy with the functionality

I wish i found out about Shipstation sooner! We've been using it for about a month and so far it's been so much better than click & drop which we were previously using. Orders are pulled in from all of our channels seamlessly and accurately, and any cancellations across the channels are updated on shipstation. Plus, there's lot of rules which you can create such as putting medium/high risk orders on hold so you can investigate before printing etc. Overall a great piece of software with great support
