### What is Pirate Ship?

Pirate Ship is a shipping label platform giving access to pre-negotiated rates with UPS and USPS, including lesser-known services like UPS Ground Saver or USPS Priority Mail Cubic. It shows a 4.9/5 rating on 131 reviews and is developed by Pirate Ship, based in Wyoming, live since July 2017.

### How does the app work on a Shopify store?

Merchants sync Shopify orders, buy labels directly on the platform, and print with any printer, thermal or standard. Orders are automatically marked as fulfilled with tracking added in Shopify. The app also lets merchants schedule UPS and USPS pickups and buy batches of labels from a spreadsheet. It's currently English-only and works only with UPS and USPS.

### Why choose Pirate Ship over another labeling app?

Having no subscription fees at all, paying only for the labels purchased, is a rare model compared to platforms that charge a monthly fee on top of postage rates. Nearly 8 years of use reported in some reviews make it a solid bet for reliability. The pirate-themed, lighthearted support tone, praised positively in several reviews, is a genuine differentiator, though a secondary one compared to the quality of the service itself.

### What are the 3 main features of the app?

1. **Pre-negotiated UPS and USPS rates**, including secret services like Priority Mail Cubic.
2. **Label printing with any printer**, no special equipment required.
3. **Automatic order fulfillment marking** in Shopify, with tracking added.
