Shipping label websites

[68Wreefer]

What websites do y'all buy your shipping labels from? Use to ship corals years ago, but forgot the names of the site I use to buy from. Looking for an alternative. Thanks in advance!

shipstation - its not free ($9 per month, I just activate my sub when I'm gonna run a sale)

integrates well with other online stores e.g. Ebay, prints labels, and sends customizable tracking emails to buyers.

I have encountered some sellers who use shipping solutions that give good rates on overnight shipping but then refuse to refund shipping when it doesnt arrive overnight. This is NOT the case with shipstation. Refunds for shipper errors are quick and easy here.

I'll be curious to hear what others are using.

I think I might have found my old one. Shipnex? Anyone used them?

Yep and they are a sponsor here and can get you a better price in most cases as a individual.

shipyouraquatics is amazing and the customer service is A++++. I ship with them all the time

 

[EMeyer]

hearing good things about this company - how do they compare for the features I described above?
automated emails?
easy refunds on shipping errors?

I might have to give them a shot. Shipnex quotes aren't as good as I remember. Are there any promo codes for R2R users?

yes there is a one time promo code for R2R users, but honestly their regular prices are better than with the promo. the promo only gives you 40% off of what that label retails as. if you email them after you've shipped a package or two and let them know what you will be shipping (live or dry) and ask if there is anything they can do for a better discount, they will definitely help you out. I was emailed by them and they asked what I was shipping and they got me more aggressive discounts. very good customer service and quick to reply

Ship your aquatics is definitely the way to go. The more you ship, the better your discount.

I have never heard of any shipping company that insures corals.

refund payments for late shipments since ShipStation, arranges the refunds for you. Wondered are they good at honoring that. Looking for a shipping solution with easy refunds

ship your aquatics does now. I f the coral is doa and arrives before the guaranteed delivery time they will honor (supposedly) the amount you bought insurance for its $2.50 for every $100 in insurance

You can try Pirate Ship, ShipStation, or Shippo for buying shipping labels.
