Pirate Ship is the best for USPS shipping labels, hands down.
Chose Pirate Ship
We use Skubana for our inventory management; given that all our orders pass through it, it makes sense for us to generate our shipping labels there as well. That said, Pirate Ship is way simpler to use, has fewer technical issues, and gets you shipping rates that Skubana can't …
Chose Pirate Ship
Pirate Ship has a much easier & simpler user interface. They also offer better options for small/low-volume businesses. I thought Stamps.com was a rip-off because of all the "extras" such as paper and scales you had to purchase from them to even get started. I am thrilled to …

Happy Returns are best suited for retail stores and ecom where customers need to return or exchange goods. Happy Returns have a number of options and levels of return services they can offer. Having return bar partners like FedEx opens up many local return drop-off locations making it much more convenient for the customer as well as having the option to mail the good back by easily printing a pre-paid return label.

  • Great user interface--fun and modern, easy to navigate, pre-populated addresses, and never any "downtime"
  • Pricing is competitive--they even offer discounts for certain purchases, which is better than the post office!
  • Saves templates for efficiency--I send a lot of very similar packages, and it saves my preferences so I don't have to make selections every time.

I have reached out via phone, email, and chat, and they always help out immediately! Also, they even changed their credit card category to shipping for me so I could receive 3x points through one of my business credits when I purchase through them. They are truly the best ever!

We migrated from Narvar to Happy Returns for a number of reasons. Happy Returns had a better Shopify integration and the process for customers to return via the website was much easier for customers. The Happy Returns admin UI is simple, modern, and easy to navigate. Happy Returns offers features like return bars, exchanges, and site credit that allowed us to give our customers options in how they return in an easy way without any development cost. Our experience with Narvar was the opposite.
