Small Businesses, Subscription Boxes and Online Sellers that are sick of overpaying for postage!
All shippers especially those who move a significant amount of freight including food & beverage companies, retailers, paper & packaging businesses, CPG/wholesalers, and manufacturers.
The interface is clean and tidy, and the pirate aesthetic is wonderful. I would highly recommend this to any small business owner.
I made a mistake an mailed an package to myself my accident. I was working too fast late at night and never caught the mistake.
I love how easy it is to use pirate ship. I love that they save my package information because I ship the same thing frequently and I don’t have to type everything in.
You had me at “Arrrrr you ready to not deal with PayPal’s bullshit anymore.
The staff are great to work with. Finally an app that does what it’s supposed to, saves money, and is fun.
I have yet to find anything I don’t like about this service. I have to admit that I was skeptical at first, but it took only five minutes to make me a believer.
I love how it auto fills (most) information and remembers what you've entered before. Pricing is a bit better overall than other places, but it's the ease of use that really makes it a winner.
I am really trying to rack my brain on the negatives of this website. The only negative I can think of is it I did not find out about it sooner.
Great customer service and we feel like that they are working and thinking along side us in our quest to provide the best producted suited and tailor made to the desires of our customer base.
Freight class will sometime get dinged and charged for being off.
Really positive experience with Shipwell. We feel like they are a true business partner and will help us to grow our business at a faster rate than we could have without Shipwell.
Sometimes the location updates will lag and give incorrect information. This is no common and is usually quickly resolved though.
What I like most is the ease of use of Shipwell. If you have zero logistics background, you can still easily navigate the system and book your own shipments.
I this time I have not come across anything I don't like about the software.
I like the ability to track and run loads from my app on my phone.
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.
