Switching from Veeqo to ShipWave

Most sellers leave Veeqo for one of three reasons:

• Data independence. Veeqo has been owned by Amazon since 2021. Every shipment you process gives Amazon visibility into your volumes, products, customers, and seasonality — a competitive risk if you sell anything Amazon also sells.
• Better rates. Veeqo uses Amazon Buy Shipping rates, which aren't always the cheapest. ShipWave's USPS Commercial Plus rates (up to 54% off retail) with carrier-neutral rate-shopping often beat them.
• Stronger shipping features. ShipWave adds automatic billing-dispute detection, insurance-claim automation, and live Shopify checkout rates that Veeqo doesn't offer.

The best part: both platforms are free, so the switch costs nothing and carries no risk. You can run them in parallel until you're confident.

Before you start, gather:

• Your Veeqo login (to review connected channels and export any saved data)
• Logins for your e-commerce stores and marketplaces (Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, WooCommerce)
• Your return address and business details
• Any carrier accounts you bring yourself (optional — you can use ShipWave's negotiated rates instead)
• About 30 minutes for setup and a handful of test orders

No technical skills are required, and you do not need to pause shipping during the migration.

Go to shipwave.app and click "Start Shipping Free." Enter your email, set a password, and add your return address. No credit card is required and the account is active immediately — about two minutes. Because there is no subscription, you can keep Veeqo running in parallel at zero extra cost.

Connect the same stores you have in Veeqo:

• Shopify: install the ShipWave app from the Shopify App Store (and enable live checkout rates while you're there — something Veeqo can't do).
• Amazon: authorize through Seller Central. You can keep using FBA/MCF for Amazon orders and ShipWave for direct-to-customer shipments.
• WooCommerce / BigCommerce: add the ShipWave connector.
• eBay / Etsy: link through the ShipWave dashboard.

Orders sync automatically once connected. Both platforms can pull the same orders during the overlap period without conflict.

Set up the basics that mirror your Veeqo workflow:

• Package presets for your common box and mailer sizes.
• Automation rules for default carriers/services by weight, destination, or order type (free on all ShipWave plans).
• Tracking emails with your branding.
• Printer — ShipWave works with the same 4×6 thermal printer you already use; no new hardware needed.

This is where the savings show up. Pick 10–20 real orders and price each one in both tools:

• Compare ShipWave's USPS Commercial Plus rate against Veeqo's Amazon Buy Shipping rate label-by-label.
• Watch UPS, FedEx, and DHL too — ShipWave's carrier-neutral engine surfaces the genuinely cheapest option, while Veeqo leans toward Amazon's preferred carriers.
• Many sellers find $0.50–$2.00+ in savings per USPS label that Amazon's rate engine was quietly costing them.

Don't disconnect Veeqo on day one. Move a portion of volume to ShipWave for a week, verify order sync and label quality across every store, then shift more as confidence grows. Because ShipWave is free, there is no cost to overlapping — and no pressure to rush. This eliminates any risk of a shipping gap.

Once ShipWave is handling everything smoothly:

• Process all new orders through ShipWave and stop creating labels in Veeqo.
• Old Veeqo tracking numbers stay valid — track them on the carrier websites (USPS.com, UPS.com, etc.).
• Remove Veeqo's access to your stores and shipping accounts.
• Data hygiene step: consider submitting a data-deletion request to Amazon/Veeqo. Under GDPR (if applicable) or CCPA you may have the right to have your historical shipping and customer data deleted — limiting Amazon's ongoing access.
