### "Great for startups" — 5.0/5

> **Olivia** | *May 18, 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to navigate their platform, especially for someone who’s not tech-savvy.
> 
> **Cons**: Pricing could be better. I ended up seeking a platform with cheaper shipping options.
> 
> It’s great to use for a new small business but there’s a point where we outgrew it.

### "Great Prices. Great Options. Great Shipping Tool\!" — 5.0/5

> **Ben** | *January 28, 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.

### "Awesome Shipping Experience with Unexpected Whimsy" — 5.0/5

> **Sarah** | *October 15, 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.&#10;&#10;I don't even mind having to chat with support to remove authorized users on the account because it's just plain fun.&#10;&#10;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.

### "GREAT JOB PIRATE SHIP" — 5.0/5

> **Steven** | *February 2, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Definitely value for your money. They are up to date with all the changes.  I have never had any issues with Pirate Ship.  Great for small or large business. Security is one of their utmost issues that they always take care of. Any problems with the internet they are on it right away in regards to bugs and issues. Whatever problems I have had any issues were solved fast and easy.  I have been on for a number of years so far and they are the best. Easily able to get my orders from etsy on their site.
> 
> **Cons**: I have never had any problems with the operation of Pirate Ship. They have never given me any reason to complain and when I did have a problem I found out a simple fix I forgot to do on my web browser. (cleaning the history)
> 
> Overall, they are a smooth efficient organization saving me a ton of money instead of paying a monthly fee like all the rest.
