Great Shipping Tool\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *28 January 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are a myriad of shipping options, all available at the lowest prices without having to shop around or visit different vendors. > > **Cons**: Some of the shipping options are hidden or less intuitive to find. It took me a while to find how to ship using Media Mail with USPS. ----- ### "Great Solution for International Shipments and Low Volume Operations" — 5.0/5 > **Yev** | *22 April 2026* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We found it to be a strong alternative to Endicia Professional, which was difficult to use. PirateShip is useful especially when it comes to properly generating and shipping international orders. The value is great, because it is virtually free to use. The label printing works like any web browser printing, where you can simply direct it to a locally or network installed label printer. > > **Cons**: So far, they have yet to allow us to set up ACH deposit with our bank. Though they do offer some bank integrations, we are still waiting for our specific bank. This means we are forced to use credit card charges, which makes expense reporting more difficult. > > Overall, it helped us get out of using Endicia Professional, which was a software that allows users to ship USPS. However, that software constantly had bugs and broke down. PirateShip is completely online based, so there is no software management or maintenance. ----- ### "Lost shipment, zero accountability — $438 gone" — 1.0/5 > **Oleg** | *29 January 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lost shipment, zero accountability — $438 gone/ The interface is simple and the rates look attractive at first. Creating a label is fast and convenient. > > **Cons**: When something goes wrong, Pirate Ship takes no responsibility at all. My international shipment was accepted, duties were paid, and then the parcel was lost. The carrier refused compensation. Pirate Ship’s response was to deny any responsibility and refund only the label — not the value of the lost contents. There is no real protection for the sender. > > On October 3, 2025, I paid Pirate Ship for international shipping of a package containing two custom hair systems worth $438. The shipment was accepted and processed. Import duties were paid. The parcel was never delivered and never returned. I contacted the carrier. The carrier refused to compensate the loss. I then contacted Pirate Ship. Their position was simple: “We are not responsible. Here is a refund for the label only.” In practice, Pirate Ship acts as a middle layer that gives you cheaper labels but zero real protection. When a shipment disappears, you are left alone between the carrier and Pirate Ship, with neither side taking responsibility. You lose both the item and the money. If you ship anything of real value, this service is a risk multiplier. The savings on the label are meaningless compared to losing the entire contents with no compensation. After this experience, I would strongly advise using carriers directly or services that provide real accountability and insurance. ----- ### "Awesome Shipping Experience with Unexpected Whimsy" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *15 October 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super simple to use, great customer service, very competitive rates, and adds whimsy to an otherwise very boring task. > > **Cons**: Some functionality for teams is not built out yet (like removing authorized users) but their support is so fast that it's not really an issue. Plus all the messages you get from support are in pirate-speak which is hilarious. > > This service is everything it needs to be and at the highest quality. It's fantastically simple to use, sources incredible rates, and the customer service is phenomenal. I don't even mind having to chat with support to remove authorized users on the account because it's just plain fun. I don't know if they use a filter to convert what the support reps say to pirate speak or if they are having fun and doing it on their own but it adds some whimsy to an otherwise dry task of shipping and logistics. ----- ### "Arg\! I'm a pirate, not a robot\!" — 5.0/5 > **Amber** | *26 July 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Other than it's fun vibe, Pirate Ship is my go-to for shipping labels because the prices are better than anywhere else I've found. > > **Cons**: Maybe they already offer this and I'm just missing it, but I would like to be able to just enter the zip code or city and state to see the label prices, instead of having to enter the entire address. > > When I started my business, I expected the shipping/label purchasing process to be complex and overwhelming, but Pirate Ship somehow ended up making it fun. ----- Page: 1 / 41\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/172133/pirate-ship?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/172133/pirate-ship) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
