Meghann H
CEO
5.0

Meghann H.: My name is Meghann. I am the CEO of Hancock Enterprises Athens, Georgia, LLC, and I would give Pirate Ship a five. Before Pirate Ship, I was just going either to the post office, or the UPS store, the FedEx store, and at that time in my business, I wasn't an LLC yet, but I was working full time, and I didn't have time to get to those places as often as I would like. Pirate Ship was introduced to me by some other business owner friends in a similar situation, and I took a look at what they offered, and I was really impressed by what I saw, and not having to make extra trips to the different shipping places. So Pirate Ship is kind of, the best way I can put, is kindergarten simple. You type in all your business information, you type in where your package is going to your customer, and, boom, it gives you a list of different options, and you choose the one for you, you print out your label, and you get it on your porch or in your mailbox, and, boom, done. If you are considering Pirate Ship at all, just do it. It is the best thing I have ever found. Like I said before, it's quick and easy, and just do it.
