## ShipWorks Reviews
  ### 1. Easy to Navigate, Fast and Helpful Service Team!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2026

**What do you like best about ShipWorks?**

It is pretty easy to navigate. What I can't figure out on my own their service teams gets for me very quickly!

**What do you dislike about ShipWorks?**

The filters can be confusing if you don't speak computer lingo.

**What problems is ShipWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They have created several templets for me to make emails and tracking very easy.

  ### 2. Prefills shipment info saving shipper lots of time

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rob R. | VP, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2024

**What do you like best about ShipWorks?**

My company has used Shipworks for almost a decade.  It saves our shipper a lot of time since it pulls feed from Amazon and prefills all the shipment info into UPS Worldship.  It works with a lot of other ecommerce platforms too but we've only used for Amazon and our website orders.

**What do you dislike about ShipWorks?**

Haven't had any issues with it in the nearly 10 years.

**What problems is ShipWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Saves time for shipper.

  ### 3. It works very well for our retail store

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Zephora C. | Executive Management Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2022

**What do you like best about ShipWorks?**

I like ShipWorks as it integrates and sorts all the orders that were placed from the website and it is easy to print the labels. Easy to use and user-friendly compared to others.

**What do you dislike about ShipWorks?**

Minor glitches here and there but for the most part, we never encountered issues with ShipWorks. I would still prefer this over the other softwares with the same platform.

**What problems is ShipWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Printing labels, sorting orders and updating information was easy with ShipWorks. Everything we need to do can be completed in one system and very easy to navigate.

  ### 4. Shipworks is awesome!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2021

**What do you like best about ShipWorks?**

It just works! And support is excellent, even to just ask general shipping questions.

**What do you dislike about ShipWorks?**

There isn't anything that we dislike about Shipworks.

**Recommendations to others considering ShipWorks:**

Shipworks is very powerful; we don't use nearly all the features, so we cannot speak to every feature, but what we use works ideally. It is a desktop application, not cloud-based, which is not a big deal for us but might be for you, so keep that in mind. We use WooCommerce (WordPress) and have a plugin to connect to Shipworks (by ADV Web Design (adv.design)). So if you are looking for a solution for your WooCommerce store, Shipworks will certainly do the trick. Shipworks supports a wide range of shipping services, including USPS, UPS, and FedEx.

**What problems is ShipWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Shipworks allows us to create, track and manage all of our website and in-house shipments with ease.

  ### 5. LOVE SHIPWORKS!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michele R. | Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2019

**What do you like best about ShipWorks?**

Customer service is outstanding. Anytime we have an issue they answer right away, remote into my computer and solve the problem for me. 

**What do you dislike about ShipWorks?**

The software is slow sometimes. Other than that no issues

**What problems is ShipWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have 3 separate companies and all of them are in our Shipworks interface. We send out hundreds of orders a day and Shipworks handles it great. We can create tons of different subfilters- for example, if we have some customers who need accommodations on their orders, we can create a folder for them. Recently, I wanted a custom built email template- fully designed with images, links, etc. Their technician spent a week coding it for me beautifully and we'll be implementing it shortly. ShipWorks is so easy to work with! 

  ### 6. Shipworks works great!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Miles B. | Marketing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2019

**What do you like best about ShipWorks?**

Their customer supports is better than any company I've ever dealt with.

**What do you dislike about ShipWorks?**

When upgrading to a newer version on one PC all others wont work until they are updated to the same version.

**Recommendations to others considering ShipWorks:**

If you have any problems at all with shipworks call up their support line and have them do a remote log-in. 100% of all my issues have been resolved using this message. They will take control of your mouse and show you what they are doing and do it for you so you know how to fix the issue yourself.

**What problems is ShipWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Printing out shipping labels for our eCommerce store.

Shipworks is easy to use and it has alot of reports that help you keep track of shipped items

There is a 10GB storage capacity so every few years you have to delete orders. This is a very minor inconvenience

Shipworks is continually updating it's software and making it easier to use as well as adding templates that help with viewing shipping data.

  ### 9. Ships Products With Alot Of Headaches

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Furniture | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2018

**What do you like best about ShipWorks?**

I like the ease of printing labels through Shipworks, when it works at least which it really doesn't sometimes. Expect to reinstall your printer drivers many times.

**What do you dislike about ShipWorks?**

We do not like the interface of Shipworks, we do not like having to constantly reconfigure our printers. Shipworks also does not properly send follow up emails to customers at all, a huge headache that never worked forcing us to look for alternatives for delivering tracking information and other emails to customers which should have worked better on Shipworks.

**What problems is ShipWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Shipping products, sending customers tracking information, printing labels, and checking status of orders. We realized Shipworks is not a good fit for us.

  ### 10. Excellent Software And Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 09, 2018

**What do you like best about ShipWorks?**

ShipWorks is among the best software I have used and I can not think my business without ShipWorks would be where it is today. The best software and great customer service when something goes wrong

**What do you dislike about ShipWorks?**

Sending customers email review requests through the software does not work as intended, often times a request is marked as sent but customers do not receive them.

**What problems is ShipWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Shipping and tracking orders through shipworks, benefit we realized is how easy to use and any one can use it without much computer knowledge.

Sometimes Shipworks doesn't send online store updates to BigCommerce

It can be very complicated! Some coding knowledge needed to customize actions. Other than that, it works great!
