ShipTime review (2026): is it any good?
Canadian multi-carrier shipping platform with no monthly fee
ShipTime report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for discounted couriers in Canada
ShipTime is a free account where you compare discounted courier rates, print labels and track parcels, with store connections and freight. Costs depend on the courier, weight and route, no fixed price list could be read, and the vendor's own site blocks automated readers.
Who ShipTime is for
- Fits if you ship parcels from Canada and want to compare couriers
- Works for Shopify stores wanting rates at checkout
Who ShipTime is not for
- Skip it if you want a price list, as costs show only inside an account
- Watch out: the Shopify app is free to install but additional charges may apply, in USD
- Watch out: the vendor's site blocks automated reads, so this rests on its help center and Shopify listing
- Tight if you want a phone app, as none is listed
Why ShipTime gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyNo monthly fees or volume commitments, and you pay for each shipment. The help center says savings reach up to 76%, which is the vendor's own claim.
- BFree plan and trialA free account where you pay as you ship, so one person can use it with no subscription.
- CFeaturesRate comparison, labels, tracking, store connections, checkout rates, parcel and freight, and insurance. The listing could not read a price list.
- CEase of useNo store rating is on record. Store connections and an account are needed first.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Ecwid. No phone or desktop app.

Keep ShipTime, or make your own?
Keep it
ShipTime is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 62 of the 80 other shipping software we grade.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. ShipTime’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is ShipTime?
ShipTime is a Canadian shipping platform that compares discounted courier rates, prints labels, tracks shipments and connects to online stores. A free account has no monthly fee or volume commitment, and sellers pay for each shipment as they ship. It handles parcels as well as LTL and FTL freight.
Worth knowing
- No fixed price list could be read: costs depend on the courier, weight and route quoted inside an account.
- The vendor's own site sits behind a bot check, so this entry rests on its help center and Shopify App Store listing.
- The Shopify app is free to install but the listing says additional charges may apply, billed in USD.
