I use Pirate Ship exclusively for my shipping postage. The price is much lower than using USPS or UPS alone. The app is easy to use and I appreciate how Pirate Ship keeps me informed on upcoming price... See more

About Pirate Ship

Written by the company

Pirate Ship is a web-based shipping software solution that helps small businesses, e-commerce sellers, and independent entrepreneurs purchase and print discounted USPS and UPS shipping labels — no monthly fees, no hidden costs, and no treasure buried in the fine print.

As a shipping label platform, Pirate Ship gives users access to pre-negotiated carrier discounts on services including USPS Priority Mail, Ground Advantage, First-Class Package, and UPS Ground and UPS Ground Saver - as well as expedited services. Labels can be created individually, in bulk batches, or imported through e-commerce integrations, — built for businesses shipping anywhere from a few packages per week to hundreds per day. The platform is free to use — customers only pay the cost of postage.

Key features and capabilities:

  • Discounted shipping rates — Access to deeply discounted USPS and UPS rates with no markup, monthly fee, or minimum volume requirement — just the lowest rates, straight from the plank
  • E-commerce integrations — Connects with Shopify, eBay, Square, WooCommerce, and other platforms to import orders automatically
  • Batch label creation — Print multiple shipping labels at once via spreadsheet upload or synced integrations, so even the biggest hauls ship without a headache
  • Package tracking — Built-in tracking for all shipments with status updates accessible from the dashboard
  • International shipping — Support for customs forms and international label creation across USPS and UPS international services
  • Shipping insurance — Optional third-party insurance available for shipments at the time of label purchase

The platform requires no technical setup and operates on a pay-per-label model. When customers need help, a real human support crew is available via live chat and email — ready to lend a hook — because ARRrrr, we make shipping fun! 🏴‍☠️

PirateShip is amazing

Taylor was very helpful with resolving my issue! I had paid for signature on my UPS package and one was never posted. Taylor checked the tracking and explained where I would be able to find the signature, but one wasn’t entered. I was promptly refunded for the signature surcharge, AND I learned something new about UPS processes.

Saves on shipping costs!

Fun, fabulous website that's intuitive and easy to use. Saves me on shipping costs! Wish I'd discovered it sooner! Only downside is no customer service phone support (but customer service via chat and email has worked for me). And no FedEx options.

This app has made my life so much…

This app has made my life so much easier selling my fragrances online. Especially with the addition of the qr code function. I am currently having to file multiple insurance claims because USPS is a hot mess so I guess we will see if my 4 star review holds up through this process. I'll check back in after but so far pirateship is full steam ahead for me. A big thanks to Sarah for getting that QR code function added for me too.

Made in Hawaii by a Hawaiian”

My " Made in Hawaii by a Hawaiian”
“(registered tag) is located on the North Shore of Oahu, in the middle of the ocean, in the middle of the planet. So it’s no surprise that Hawaii businesses have ongoing, ever-changing shipping challenges. This is why I use Pirate Ship and have been for years for all my USA shipping needs. Did you know that in Pirate Ship, you're able to create your own shipping labels? I recently emailed my own shipping labels, made with Pirate Ship, to my perfume supplier to ship 4 large, 36-lb boxes each to my small town of Laie, Hawai'i, with no problems and for $200.00 less than my supplier quoted. A huge win in my books. Mahalo, Pirate Ship, for making my shipping issues less of an issue. 🌺MAHALO PIRATE SHIP🌺

PIRATE SHIP IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!💚 I have saved so much time and money since being introduced to this website. I 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Their customer support is the fastest I’ve ever had experience with, especially from a website! They are super friendly and always eager to help out! I feel a sense of relief being able to use their service for my shipping needs because there are never any issues! The one time there actually was an issue (at no fault of pirate ship but really more of my own) I had one package returned by usps for incorrect reasons. Pirate Ship actually resolved the issue for me within a few hours and I was able to have my package back out to the recipient the very next day, and even better, at no extra cost to me! The convenience of Pirate Ship, as well as their wonderful customer service/support, makes shipping simple and easy for anyone young, old, or in between! Don't let shipping be a nightmare, just use Pirate Ship!

Pirate Ship is truly incredible. Aside from being super easy to use and saving me TONS of money, they feel like working with a truly small business.

Life changing experience with Pirate Ship

I have a small artisan cookie business and have used retail shipping for years. So stupid! I discovered Pirate Ship out of panic in finding a glitch on our website that didn’t apply the right postage. I was going to eat most of the shipping cost so I started looking for options. I took a leap of faith with Pirate Ship and my life and business are forever changed. You are now the only place I will go for all my shipping needs. You make it so easy and have an excellent website that makes it fast and easy to ship, track orders and manage the shipping end of my business. Wish I would have discovered you a decade ago. Truly a great company and service.

No more standing in lines!

I rely on Pirate Ship for all my personal and business shipping. All I need is my cellphone, a measuring tape, a mail scale, and a label maker, and I'm not standing in interminable lines at the Post Office. No more guessing at which delivery service is best for each package. It's changed my life, and it will change yours. Your time and money are valuable, and Pirate Ship exists make your life easier.

I generally use Pirate Ship for all my eBay sales. It's easy to convert the addresses from your sales and the prices are significantly less expensive. In addition, Pirate Ship advises you of any changes on shipping sites. Extremely easy to navigate and wonderful customer service.
