First and foremost, technical support is among the worst I’ve ever seen in a company. It’s surprising, because their previous beast - ShipGear - was pretty good. After switching to StarShip, nothing but problems daily. Often times it takes them upwards of a whole week to respond and fix an issue that completely stops shipment. Their cloud-based portal is ultra slow and their mapping system is convoluted. When requesting assistance, often the support cannot identify what is causing a problem. I definitely do not care for this service at all.

The Good…

Not Really Anything

Just About Everything

Software is nice. Tech support is difficult to get in contact with. When the software stops working, we can’t ship our products. Tech support needs immediate access.

Nice integration

WORLDS WORST TECH SUPPORT

A software designed to ship hazardous materials with international capabilities.

The Good…

It has the capability to ship hazardous materials

The Bad…

Implementation was a nightmare, and their customer support is mediocre at best. They don’t follow-up with anything, and talk to me like I’m an idiot when I email them. Half the time I call their support team and know more than they do. I hardly ever get a response that’s actually helpful. If you have a Shopify site- forget it. If you have multiple items on one listing, it can only recognize it as one item. You also can’t set up auto-mapping for package sizes if you have products that are different sizes.
