### "Great Web Software for Company's using multiple shipping methods"

January 22, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that ShipRush integrates all my UPS FedEX and USPS packages and tracking info into one single portal. I can easily search out tracking numbers using words like company name or reference numbers instead of having to sift through documents and emails. It makes tracking orders while customers are on the phone so fast and simple.

### "Rushing to share my thought!"

February 25, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with ShipRush is smooth and efficient. It streamlined my shipping process just like a pro, making everything feel as seamless as our blending brush ;). The integration with multiple carriers and easy label printing made it a breeze to manage, though a little more customization would have been nice!

Pros

I like how ShipRush simplifies shipping with its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with multiple carriers, saving time and reducing errors.

Cons

What I like least is that ShipRush can sometimes be slow to update tracking information and has limited customization options for certain workflows.

### "Descartes has just destroyed Shiprush. "

October 21, 2022

2.0

We have used this software for many years for our postage but some brainiac at Descartes decided to be greedy and add a .20c fee for First Class Package labels. I'm pretty sure they're going to start hemorrhaging customers left and right, or at least customers who ship a lot of items like ourselves.It's unfortunate because they added the fee out of nowhere right in our busiest time of year costing us thousands in extra cost. We've moved on to other shipping software who aren't going to rip us off.

Pros

The software overall is probably the easiest to use of all the ecommerce shipping platforms. The automation of shipments allows for quick shipping of orders. There have been problems along the way with freezing, lagging, outages, and messed up print batches over the years but for the most part it's good.

Cons

Descartes just implemented a .20c label charge for all USPS First Class shipments. So, if you ship 100 orders per day, it's now costing you an additional $20 per day or $600 per month!! on top of the $29.99 or subscription fee. That's a massive increase in cost for companies shipping hundreds of orders per day.

Reason for choosing Descartes ShipRush

We didn't, we left Shiprush because it's no longer competitively priced.

Great. \[sensitive content hidden\] was helpful in getting us set up. Its very easy to use once you learn where everything is.

Pros

works great with quickbooks easy to use makes it easy to track invoice shipping status on one format

Cons

The print in the window is small. Sometimes it loads blank orders not connected to anything in quickbooks.

### "Completely changed our small business "

August 10, 2021

5.0

Amazing. Integration with our QBO software was simple. Order errors were gone. Tracking backfill information to QBO is done automatically. Shiprush is like having a shipping manager on staff.

Pros

Too many to list really. Integration, support, web-based platform. If you use Quickbooks Online and need fulfillment this is the best software we have ever found. This completely changed our business. Access to the UPS DAP program has increased our bottom line profit and top line revenue. We left FedEx for this reason. From a management perspective, Shiprush improved employee efficiency and work environment. Shipping became an easy task for anyone our facility. No longer was there a training curve or employee who could not ship. Can not say enough about Shiprush.

Cons

None that I have found yet. When ever their is a tech issue, the support chat team is always there with help and solutions.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Descartes ShipRush

Easy of use and integration with current systems compared to ShipStation. FedEx ship manager is not user friendly and customer support is terrible. Also, Shiprush never advertises which lead me to believe their revenue is invested elsewhere. For example, support and software maintenance. They have proven this to us, as these areas are top tier in our opinion.

November 4, 2024

5.0

So far it has been a good experience with ShipRush. Most things are easy enough to figure out without help from support.

Pros

Easy connection to Shopify. Also, priced very well compared to competitors.

Cons

Occasionally need to refresh the web page because it seems to slow down over time.

### "Very helpful, mainly stable, very expandable for any needs"

August 16, 2021

5.0

ShipRush has been very useful. The support team has been friendly and not condescending. The software (web interface) seems very stable and has been very useful. In fact our shipping department revolves around ShipRush now. One ring to rule them all.

Pros

Our decision to use ShipRush was based on the fact that it allowed the easiest use when not tied to a web store or other database and because it allowed, with our representative's approval, UPS negotiated pricing to be shown. We needed a software that would handle shipper pricing amalgamation and would allow us to just put in an address and print a label. It has lots of other features, but did not penalize people for just needing the basics. We sometimes use the fancier features, but ShipRush helped make our daily grind much easier. If we end up needing to integrate into a web store database, we know we can always grow.

Cons

Most of the features are very nice although the label printing has a tendency to break. It uses a web print interface which resides in the tray on Windows and somehow pulls labels from the web and sends them to our local printer instead of simply printing to our locally attached printer. This gives the option to print to any printer within your organization but it is not always stable. It would be nice if the software had the choice to connect to the local printer OR use the web print option. The only feature we have really fretted over is the print module, the other issues have mainly been connectivity during the holiday season - and at least half of that is not ShipRush but the shippers themselves having overloaded servers.

Reason for choosing Descartes ShipRush

The ability to easily enter an address and print a label without any web store or web interface integration.

### "Why Ship Rush Matters"

August 13, 2021

5.0

Excellent

Pros

Simplicity and ease in installation. I contacted Ship Rush and was up and running in no time.

Cons

Cannot think of anything other than when they switch carrier programs around internally, sometimes I wind up getting double charged. (Des Cartes charges mirroring Ship Rush charges and a few years back, there was another company that you used, maybe Endicia).

Reason for choosing Descartes ShipRush

Synchronizes well with eBay

### "Ecommerce Shipping"

August 8, 2021

4.0

The estimated times of delivery are incorrect once I ship. It s actually telling me the delivery time will be the PRIOR month (strange). I also find when putting in the sizes of my box (i.e., 18x10x8) - the "0" is not being recognized as a "10" - so I have to change it to an "11". Ship rush thinks I am putting in 18x1x8 (which gives me the incorrect price). I also use ShipWorks for international packages because it only prints out ONE shipping label instead of 4!

Pros

EASY to use, EASY to navigate, customer support typically is able to answer all my questions. They are knowledgeable.

Cons

When you call for support, I have to wait bc of the WEST COAST time.

Reason for choosing Descartes ShipRush

I actually use both. I also use ShipWorks for international packages because it only prints out ONE shipping label instead of 4! Plus it validates and gives suggestions for international addresses.

Pros

It works well with both WooCommerce and Shopify. It really helps with efficiency while processing orders.

September 2, 2021

5.0

Shipping our product in a timely fashion can be tricky. With Shiprush, it smooths out the rough edges and let's my team focus on other issues in the business

Pros

It's easy to use, and trouble shooting is a breeze with 24/7 customer service a call away

Cons

Integration with our software is fair and could use a bit of work. Not reading existing emails brought over from our software to navigate expectations of notices on delivery and shipping to the customer base

We have had a great overall experience with Shiprush. Easier to use than a couple of the competitors

Pros

It is super easy to integrate with your endicia or stamps.com account and UPS accounts if you have one.

Cons

Nothing really. Maybe it could run a little faster, but that's honestly all I can think of

Shiprush has simplified our shipping. Quick and easy to use.

Pros

Shiprush was easy to integrate with our Quickbooks and Xcart software. Just a quick copy of the address and the shiprush software opens for quick shipping.

Cons

Pros

Easy app integration and comparison pricing helps my customers and me get the best rates. I can compare my personal UPS account rates with my Descartes ShipRush account rates to get the best price, as well as incorporate and integrate the accounts for my online retailers I dropship for.

Cons

My only Con is that there are so many features in the software I didn't initially notice that I wish I had!

### "Quick and Affordable"

September 9, 2020

5.0

We are pleased and plant to continue using Shiprush as long as we need a third party shipping generator outside of our eCommerce platforms.

Pros

It's highly functional for generating shipping as well as tracking previous shipments. It's useful to have this additional resource for logging orders past and present.

Cons

There are occasional prompts to update payment info and a forced purchase of shipping credit. We have periods during which we are shifted in another direction and not involved in shipping anything that requires we generate our own labels. While the credit will still be there when we need it, it is an inconvenience to purchase it before we do.

### "Shiprush...and they mean it"

August 16, 2021

5.0

Pros

We have been using Shiprush for the last two years, and it has truly made my daily shipping so much more organized and convenient. It shows all the orders for shipping, lets me chose how I want to ship, notifies the customer of the tracking information, and allows me to track their order with ease. Voiding an order is simple...everything is simple with this software. If I have any questions, all I have to do is contact them and within minutes I have the answers and I'm right back to work without skipping a beat.

Cons

Their are times when I print out labels at 5:00pm that will be shipping out the next day, and they won't appear on a USPS scan sheet or my Shiprush report for the next day. I'm sure there is an easy fix for this but I just haven't figured it out yet : )

Great, I still use them.

Pros

I like how it took the orders from Amazon and PayPal and put all the relevant info into the correct spot so I didn't have to type anything. Then I had preset packages saved so shipping something was a couple of clicks.

Cons

The "copy the tracking to clipboard" feature didn't work all of the time.

August 19, 2021

5.0

Automation was a big improvement for us, speed is great and customer support has been perfect so far.

Pros

Integration was very easy and after spending some time and getting to know the capabilities, we've created a multitude of rules that automate our shipping and remove 99% of the human input for certain tasks (box selection, address check, service selection etc).

Cons

I would like to see UX changes, for example "ship" button on the order should be much bigger, ability to rearrange options on the right hand side, overall look can be a tad more user friendly for basic users

August 17, 2021

5.0

Over my experience has been amazing! I love how easy it is to send return labels and print out outbound labels. Also love the fact I can clone labels and don't have to enter all information again

Pros

What I like most about this software is the ability to allow multiple users to access the portal at the same time, along with the ability to track returns for customer which allows our company to process refunds in a timely matter.

Cons

I don't have anything I like least about this software but if I had to be picky id say the fact that we are not able to customize the email being sent to customers from Quantum View.
