And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 69 of the 80 other shipping software we grade. - You could not: Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
