    What merchants praise

    “Best app EVER for shipping! Been using it since April and we keep learning new things that it can do. Extremely helpful team and responsive to feedback. My only wish would be for XPS ship to also integrated with SQUARE POS...which sadly it doesn't. I never post reviews, but this company deserves to be recognized for its outstanding product and service.”

    What merchants complain about

    “After putting the address to ship, then they ask for an additional payment but their system said doesn't work. Its demo doesn't work. Just add payment couldn't do either.”
