They used to be very reasonable and provide a nice amount of features on their lower-tier packages. > > **Cons**: They have become yet another greedy software company that does not care about its customers. We have been using their Bronze package for years. We have always been able to edit our packing slips. I really didn't need to change anything except the barcode size, because the barcode on the default packing slip is too small and doesn't scan. Suddenly, with no communication from ShipStation, my account has reverted back to the default packing slip, and I am no longer able to change the barcode size. The ability to customize packing slips is now behind a paywall. I would have to pay an extra $480 per year just to have a packing slip that is scannable\! Instead of telling me that I need to upgrade to the next tier, why don't they just make a default packing slip that is actually functional? I actually reached out to support to see if they could just fix the barcode size on my default packing slip. Lo and behold\! They actually changed it\! But alas, the next day it reverted to default sizing again. So I reached out to support again, and they changed the barcode size again. I asked if this is a permanent change because it only lasted a day last time. He assured me this is a permanent change and I won't need to reach out again. One day later, it reverted to the default size again. I reached out again, and this time I got a support agent who told me I need to pay an extra $40 a month to have a functional packing slip. I'm not asking for additional features; I just want FUNCTIONAL default features. Also, they randomly took API functionality from my account. Guess what? You also have to go to an even higher tier to get API access now\! My branded tracking page is non-existent, and my shipping services were no longer displayed on my website checkout pages. ----- Page: 1 / 39\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/155621/shipstation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/155621/shipstation) ## 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 | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
