Rollo - Print Labels & Ship 4+

Shipping rates

I’m not sure if I’m going crazy but I feel like the shipping rate might have gone up, before to ship a flare rate box through rollo it was the same price Etsy would offer but now it’s a couple dollars more than the Etsy price.
But the app itself works nicely it’s easy to connect to your Etsy account and print labels even with out a rollo printer. But I might be shopping around for shipping prices now that I’ve noticed this as a small businesses trying to provide the cheapest shipping possible to attract customers is important to be competitive these days.

Untrue marketing strategy in the dev replies

Like others have said, the app has been great and works normally. However, it boggles my mind on why anyone would want to use this app over simply using the USPS, UPS, or Fedex apps. I get the whole consolidation thing and it’s a good argument - until you come to the purchase page and realize you have to load your account with prepaid purchase points. Their response to this was that any company NOT doing this is selling your data to recuperate fees. This is simply not true. USPS is not allowed to do this by law. UPS and Fedex privacy and data handling policies also explicitly state that they do not sell customer data or share it with any entity that would profit from it in any way. This idea is great, but loading your account with a predetermined amount is clearly just a money gimmick as a way to squeeze some extra cash out of individuals and businesses and their lying coverup is even worse. If I was Fedex, UPS, or USPS I would sue the boots off this company for defamation. If you’re going to make those claims, back them up with sources. Go ahead, put them on your website. If you don’t have any sources (you don’t) then stop pretending you’re in the “know” with secret insider information when in reality this is just one way you profit off of a predatory business model.

Sad because I was really hoping to see a small business disrupting the big 3 shipping companies but oh well. Capitalism doesn’t create good guys now does it?

Thank you for sharing your feedback. There seems to be a few misunderstanding. Rollo users receive substantial discounts from retail shipping rates from UPS, USPS, etc. (up to 90% off retail rates). Furthermore, Rollo Ship offers an easy way to compare all available options across different carriers including the discounted rates, transit times, and so forth. For users who manage several e-commerce stores, all orders can be shipped from the Rollo Ship without needing to login to different websites. You are not required to pre-fund your account, you can make a payment only for the cost of the shipment you are purchasing. Kindly note each credit card transaction carries with it a cost (which is paid to Visa, Master Card, etc.) If you fund your account with a higher amount, you will save on processing fee as they have a fixed fee regardless of the amount. We hope this clarifies your concerns. Rollo Ship was developed to make shipping easier, cheaper, and faster for shippers. We are constantly evaluating it to ensure it is competitive in terms of pricing, discounts, ease of use, and features. We encourage you to evaluate the alternatives yourself including carrier's apps. If there is anything we can do better, we certainly welcome your suggestions.

Updated review.

It was frustrating to start. Couldn’t get to to work on iPhone. Finally got a response. If you have an issue, it’s your font size. After finally being able to login, it was easy setup and worked perfectly.
