This platform has helped to automate our process for generating shipping labels and sharing tracking details with customers. This literally saves our team hours on a daily basis.

Pros

The Ship Theory platform was straightforward to integrate with our WooCommerce platform using their free plugin. With a little bit of customisation our team was in and running printing labels with no need to print off lists of orders as was the way previously.

Cons

There was some trial and error getting the product list setup to align with different label types but the ship theory team gave great support to get this completed.

Using Ship Theory is a great experience. Well thought out, intuitive shipping software. Super support. Extensive carrier support. All the features you need. Our staff were trained up in no time. It has saved us a huge amount of time and streamlined numerous processes. Highly recommended!

Pros

Super simple to set up. You are talked through every step of the process. Very easy to get carriers set up.

Cons

The phone support is very, very good. Only downside is they are not there at the weekend (yet) I think they are looking into it.

Excellent support and help with setup (which was a little complicated for us), great response from support. It is generally easy to use and very cost effective.

Pros

It saves us lots of time and reduces errors with our shipping - but is also very competitively priced, with excellent support.

Cons

Could possibly be a little more flexible for small business users but it is still much better overall than anything else I found.

Reasons for choosing Shiptheory

The help with set-up to get it up and running quickly, the great support and cost effectiveness.

I like using shiptheory as it's very user friendly, not sure how easy it will be to develop further functions throughout but it's good to see a product like this

Pros

The software is very easy to use and navigate through the various stages.

Cons

When you have an issue with the address etc sometimes it's hard to resolve as it doesn't give clear instructions how to resolve the issue and in some instances you can't resolve it

Exceptionally good. The customer support is always amazing!

Pros

Removes the challenge of calculating the correct shipping option. Quite often this can be extremely difficult to teach, but Shiptheory makes all of the hard decision for you, through its 'shipping rules'. Adding speed and efficiency whilst reducing human error and therefore unnecessary​ costs.

Cons

Doesn't work so well with international shipments.

Very happy I chose Shiptheory. Support is so quick when needed.

Pros

This cut the time to print labels and now works away in the background so we can put more focus into working in the lab

Cons

Some printer issues at the beginning but overall very happy with the service. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was exceptional and always so patient!

Pros

Easy to use, fab helpful team - always a call away. We have a few tecnhical issues at the start but these were ironed out very seamlessly by the team.

Cons

Only issue we have arose so far is shipping rates at the checkout - if the app could help with these, connecting RM it would be great.
