Veeqo Alternative: Labels Without the Suite

Veeqo vs I'd Ship That, Feature by Feature

Cost anatomy

How Veeqo Earns on a Label, and What You Pay the Carrier

Veeqo says its shipping features are free to use for everyone, and that it makes a small commission on labels purchased through Veeqo. Its paid plans are for inventory, priced by order volume.

I'd Ship That is free to open, and you pay for each label as you buy it, with every fee shown before you buy. On the free Starter plan, each label adds a platform fee of about 10% of the postage, rounded to the nearest $0.25, at least $0.50 and at most $2.50.

Pro, an optional paid plan, carries no platform fee. Postage itself is priced by the carrier, not the platform, so the fair test is your own orders: price the same 30 days of labels in both tools and add whatever each one charges on top.

The bottom line

If the inventory plan is the reason you are on Veeqo, compare plans; if you only print labels, compare the label price you actually pay, fees included.

What Moving Off Veeqo Actually Changes

• No inventory set-up before the first label: open the app, price USPS and UPS, print
• Every row of a batch starts on the cheapest rate shown, and you can change any row before you buy (Pro)
• Buy and print a label from the iOS or Android app, or from the web, on the same account
• A free SCAN form for the day's USPS labels, made from My Labels
• eBay orders arrive with the address and listing weight, and tracking goes back to eBay when the label is bought

Switching from Veeqo: Best Path

1. Amazon is most of your orders, then Keep Amazon orders on protected labels
2. eBay and reseller apps, no Amazon, then A label tool, not a suite
3. You pack at a bench, not a desk, then Print from the phone you already carry

1Amazon is most of your orders

Keep Amazon orders on protected labels

Claims-protected labels are the one thing a label tool outside Amazon cannot give an Amazon order. If Amazon is most of your volume, that protection outweighs any workflow difference.

• Veeqo's rates are powered by Amazon's Buy Shipping.
• A label bought anywhere else carries no A-to-z cover.
• Move only the non-Amazon orders, if any.

2eBay and reseller apps, no Amazon

A label tool, not a suite

Without Amazon orders, the protections are unused and the inventory plan is optional. What is left is the label: pricing, printing, tracking back to the store, and the day's paperwork.

• Connect eBay and paid orders arrive with address and listing weight.
• Every other store comes in by order export, into The Workbench (Pro).
• SCAN forms are free from My Labels.

3You pack at a bench, not a desk

Print from the phone you already carry

Both tools have phone apps. On I'd Ship That the app is the whole product: price, buy and print a label from iOS or Android, on the same account as the web app.

• One account across web, iOS and Android.
• 4x6 labels for a thermal printer, or letter for a desk printer.
• USPS carrier pickup booked from the app.

Moving Off Veeqo: Key Takeaways

• Veeqo is an Amazon-owned shipping and inventory suite: its shipping features are free and it earns a commission on labels bought through it, while its inventory plans are paid.
• Its strongest features are for Amazon orders: claims-protected labels and Buy Shipping rates.
• If you sell on eBay, Etsy or reseller apps and only need labels, a label-first tool is simpler.
• I'd Ship That has no inventory sync and no Amazon protection; it prices USPS and UPS and prints the batch.
• Compare on your own 30 days of orders, fees included, and keep Amazon orders on protected labels.

When a Suite Is More Than You Need

A suite earns its keep when you use the parts around the label: stock levels kept in step across stores, purchase orders, a warehouse picking route. If you list each item once and it sells once, as most resellers do, there is no stock to sync and those parts sit unused.

What is left is the daily label run, and that is where a smaller tool is quicker to live with. No inventory set-up before the first label, no product catalog to keep matched to your listings, and one screen that does the job you open it for.

• Count how many of Veeqo's modules you opened last month.
• If the answer is labels and nothing else, compare label tools, not suites.
• If stock sync is the reason you are there, keep it.

What Veeqo Does That We Do Not

Three things, and they matter to the sellers who need them. Inventory: Veeqo's paid plans sync stock across your stores, and I'd Ship That has no inventory module. Amazon protection: Veeqo says a claims-protected label on an Amazon order shipped on time keeps a qualifying A-to-z claim from counting against you, and a label from any other tool cannot do that. Carriers: Veeqo lists more carriers alongside USPS and UPS; I'd Ship That is USPS and UPS only.

If any of those is the reason you use Veeqo, keep it for those orders. The rest of this page is for the orders where none of them applies.

eBay Orders Without a Suite

Connect your eBay seller account and paid orders arrive with the buyer's address and a weight taken from the listing when it has one. When you buy the label, the tracking number and carrier go back to that eBay order and eBay marks it shipped, so the buyer gets the tracking email while you are still packing.

Other stores come in by file. The Workbench, part of Pro, takes the order export your store already makes, Etsy's Orders CSV included: it matches the columns it recognises, and you match any others once. Tracking for those orders goes back to the store by upload or by hand.

The Batch Run

In The Workbench, every row starts on the cheapest rate shown, and you can change any row before you buy. The batch prints as one 4x6 or letter PDF through your system's print dialog, each label followed by its packing slip if you want them together; the pick list is a sheet of its own.

At the end of the run, make one SCAN form for the day's USPS labels, free from My Labels, so the whole drop-off is accepted with one scan.

• The Workbench is part of Pro; single labels work on the free Starter plan.
• Print on a 4x6 thermal printer or on letter paper.
• Hand the form over with the parcels and keep the scanned copy.

Moving Your Saved Packages and Rules

Write down the boxes you use most, with inside dimensions and empty weight, and save them as packages before your first batch: they set every price you will see. Note any shipping rules you rely on, such as a default service for a channel, and decide whether you still need them once every row starts on the cheapest rate shown.

Run both tools for a week. Labels bought in Veeqo are voided and refunded there, and Amazon orders can stay on Veeqo or Buy Shipping for as long as you sell there.

Switching From Veeqo: Questions People Ask

What is the best Veeqo alternative?

It depends on which half of Veeqo you use. If you sell on Amazon and rely on claims-protected labels, nothing outside Amazon's own Buy Shipping replaces that, so stay for those orders. If you sell on eBay, Etsy or reseller apps and only need labels, I'd Ship That is built for that job: USPS and UPS labels with the full price shown first, The Workbench (Pro) for batches, and native iOS and Android apps.

Is Veeqo really free?

Its shipping features are, by Veeqo's own description, and it makes a small commission on labels purchased through it. The paid plans cover inventory and are priced by order volume. On I'd Ship That the account is free to open, labels are paid as you buy them, and the free Starter plan adds a per-label platform fee that Pro removes.

Does Veeqo have a mobile app?

Yes. Veeqo has an app for iOS and Android that it describes for picking, packing and shipping orders from a phone. I'd Ship That also has native iOS and Android apps, which buy and print labels on the same account as the web app.

Do I lose Amazon's protection if I leave Veeqo?

For Amazon orders, yes, unless you buy those labels through Amazon's Buy Shipping instead. Veeqo says a claims-protected label, shipped on time with buyer messages answered within 48 hours, keeps a qualifying A-to-z claim from counting against you. A label from any other tool carries no such cover. Shipping for Amazon FBM explains the conditions.

Can I connect my eBay store to I'd Ship That?

Yes. Paid eBay orders arrive with the buyer's address and the listing weight where the listing has one, and when you buy the label the tracking number goes back to eBay, which marks the order shipped. See the eBay integration for what it reads and writes.

Does I'd Ship That sync inventory like Veeqo?

No. There is no inventory module and no stock sync between channels. If you need stock levels kept in step across several stores, that is a reason to keep an inventory tool, and you can still print the labels wherever suits you.

Can I use Veeqo and I'd Ship That together?

Yes. A multichannel seller can split by channel: Amazon orders on Amazon's protected labels, and eBay, Etsy and reseller orders in a label tool. Keep each order's label in one place only, so a parcel never ships on two.
