Random surcharges weeks later. Watch your card.
We push decent freight off our dock daily, but having Shippo hit our card three weeks after the fact for "box dimension audits" is pure nonsense. No phone number to call, just auto-replies over email while they hold your cash. The initial rate looked fine at checkout, but the back-end rebilling completely eats whatever margin you had left.
Shipped a package through Shippo on…
Shipped a package through Shippo on August 13 via UPS Ground Saver. Three weeks later I find out — not from Shippo, from calling UPS myself — that USPS flagged it for unpaid postage and it's not being delivered at all.
Shippo sold me a $93.84 label that apparently wasn't enough, can't tell me what's actually owed, and offers zero fix. Their "solution" is a USPS email address and a shrug: "retrieval is not guaranteed." No refund, no accountability, no explanation for their own label failing.
If your label doesn't cover real shipping costs, that's on you to fix — not on your customer to go chase down a different company. Three weeks, no package, no money back, no answers.
Avoid Shippo if you actually need your shipment to arrive.

WARNING
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. They quoted one price for multiple domestic packages and then charged $1,200 in surcharges after the fact. I think there is something wrong with their calculations during checkout. FRAUDULENT COMPANY. Their customer service is pretty much non-existent.
Response. It has nothing to do with the carrier. YOUR system does not quote properly. Look at the other reviews. Complete SCAM. I reached out last week and got one response. Your customer service needs a complete revamp.

Quoted at $87. charged at $162.
Quoted at 87. for a package to Australia. Better rate than USPS and several other carriers. Of course after delivery they come back with an additional 75. in charges for 'remote area' delivery and re-calculation of package size as they claimed it was 1" off. They automatically charged my card they had on file. Never using this outfit again.

Damage to shipment
I shipped 16 boxes from Arkansas to Maryland on July 31st 2026. It was an extremely painful experience. Not only did Shippo charge me for a box that was not shipped, because they had my credit card on file, they charged an additional $48 claiming that the size and weight of 8 boxes were incorrect. I used the same boxes for all 15 of the packages which was the Home Depot box size with the dimension 15X16X26. I wonder how 7 boxes were correct but 8 were not. The boxes came in opened, items were missing, some were broken, though I had fragile labels all over the boxes, The package arrived severely damaged. The outer cardboard carton was crushed, torn, punctured, and partially opened, with large sections of the box ripped apart and the contents exposed. The photographs show extensive deformation and tearing of the carton, including a large opening in the side and damage to the seams and panels. The contents had shifted inside the compromised carton and were no longer adequately protected. Several items were packed in plastic bags and were visibly displaced within the damaged box. The condition of the packaging indicates that the shipment sustained significant impact and/or compression during transit.
I retained the original damaged packaging and contents and can provide photographs and supporting documentation. I had purchased insurance on the packages from Xcover which was recommended on the Shippo Website but Xcover denied my claim stating that the boxes were not packaged correctly. Xcover said" Your box must have at least 2 inches (5cm) of approved cushioning material, such as EPE foam, moldable foam or air pillows, between the item and all six walls. Craft paper, newspaper, clothing and loose cardboard are not accepted. Multiple items must be individually wrapped with at least 2 inches (5cm) spacing between each so that items do not touch. Items over 10 lb (4.5kg) must include impact-resistant EPE foam at all exterior corners," This is the WORST experience I have ever had with shipping. I can provide pictures of the boxes.

Shippo charges a dollar or 2 extra for a measly $125 package insurance, and when your package is damaged in transit, their 3rd party insurance provider will deny your claim! Stick to trustworthy providers like UPS

Shippo overbilled me thousands of $$ and won’t refund my money
Shippo billed my card for DHL “weight correction” surcharges and multiple other fees on international shipments from the US to the UK well after delivery — all undisclosed at purchase, unsupported by any documentation, and totaling over $2,200 in additional charges applied to my credit card across 17 shipments. When I asked for the underlying audit data, Shippo’s rep repeatedly requested I submit photographic proof of the weight and dimensions of each package (for already-delivered packages!) and claimed this was a contractual requirement — it is not. The Terms of Use have no such requirement— how could every business photograph every package on scales and with tape measures? Aburd. After 30 plus days of no response (and they refuse to speak to me on telephone) I’ve now had to open a formal dispute with my credit card company and am preparing to take legal action against Shippo. If you use Shippo for international shipping, expect to be rebilled after the fact for whatever amount they decide with no real recourse and no way way to obtain a response. I will never do business with Shippo and highly recommend you find other shipping platforms to use.

They are awful
They are awful. No customer service, and will lock you out of your account without notice. They can also prohibit you from downloading labels you have already paid for. If you are doing high volume shipments. STAY AWAY!!!
Refunds take 2 weeks, and can only be refunded as credits to your account. You will not get your money back.
Customer service is slow and virtually non existent.

I used it only 2 times and it charged me 4 times. This is crazy. Never happened with any other such service. No explaination given. No email. Nothing
Besides they do not have any customer care Phone Number. Feels like they purposely charge you then go in hiding so they can not be contacted. Also Seems it is not possible to block them from charging me wrongfully via my own financial institution. Seems such strongly managed fake work.

Greedy company with poor customer service
Their shipping insurance covers nothing. If something happens with your insured shipment, they will do the best in cooperation with their Xcover insurance partner you never receive any insurance payment. They will ask you to provide a set of stupid documents as a proof that your shipment was lost or damaged, including police reports and results of investigation from a shipping carrier. Even if you try to collect all requested documents your insurance claim filling period will be expired by that time, cause they set very short period of time to file the claim. The only way to make get your money from them - dispute a transaction through your financial institution.

I tried Shippo because I was given a ridiculous quote from DHL express to ship a 2.5lbs package 📦 for $330 internationally to Ghana. Shippo pricing was $220 less while still using DHL express as the shipper. I used the free account. A label was created and all forms completed/downloaded/printed. I had full autonomy over my choices UPs, FedEx, USPS, and DHL. I was truly amazed at how seemingly easy it was. I dropped my package off at a DHL express location with no additional fees or concerns. My tracking # was provided and shipping is underway! I had a very positive experience. Thank you.

i HAVE USED SHIPPO FOR PERIODIC PERSONAL MAILINGS. I NOTICED ON MY CREDIT CARD STATEMENT A MONTHLY CHARGE OF $19 FOR A "PRO PLAN" THAT I DID NOT KNOWINGLY SIGN UP FOR. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CANCEL THIS PLAN FOR OVER A WEEK. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE BECAUSE THEIR FORMS REQUIRE THE NAME OF YOUR BUSINESS AND THE URL FOR YOUR WEBSITE. I HAVE NEITHER SO THE FORM WON'T SUBMIT. I FOUND A FORM THAT FINALLY SUBMITTED. I HAVE BEEN CHARGED $76 AND HAVE ONLY MADE 2 LABELS!! SHIPPO NEEDS TO ESTABLISH CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT IS ATTAINABLE. I WOULD LIKE A REFUND FOR THE $76.
Shippo responded and refunded my money!

Their customer service bot canceled my label without my permission
Added insurance to a Usps item and later read it wouldn't cover the contents anyway so wanted to cancel .
Their bot is faulty and initially said I didn't pay for insurance (a lie ), and then cancelled the complete label without me asking it to, or me giving it permission .
This has led to a mess with tracking and trying to get them to fix the issue,all because their customer bot is incorrect and did more than what it was asked .
I'd stay away and find a better provider who can actually assist when something goes wrong .

0 Warning When Failures Occur
I scheduled a pickup through their website, only to find out after the pickup window that DHL never received the request.
Shippo support confirmed this was a known issue on their end they were investigating, but I received zero warning or notification before relying on the pickup.
The lack of proactive communication left me scrambling and completely changed my plans. They let me schedule a pick up, purchase postage, and gave me confirmation despite knowing their system was faulty. Very disappointing experience, and I won’t be using Shippo again.

100% crooks - shady -- bait and switch -- beware!
100% crooks.
Showed me a price of $13.xxx - and charged $31.xx.
(3 other options were all below $20) I had picked the cheapest and it only become $31.62 AFTER I printed the label.
When I asked them to cancel the label (within about an hour) they offered to redund the money into my shippo account AFTER 14 days after the carrier confirms that I didn't ship anything. Wasted 30 minutes on Chat
