PostalMate vs. Bullship
Tired of PostalMate? Save Money, Try Bullship π΅
Why Bullship is the Best PostalMate Alternative
For 100s of years, pack-and-ship stores have relied on PostalMate and ShipRite simply because there were no alternatives. And if youβre reading this, then you likely already agreeβ¦ PostalMate is outdated, overpriced, inconvenient, and clunky.
Bullship was made to (finally) update your business to modern, cloud-based software designed specifically for pack-and-ship stores.
Designed by pack-and-ship store owners for pack-and-ship store owners.
Letβs Compare
1. Web-Based Convenience
PostalMate: Installed software tied to on-site desktop PCs like itβs still the 1990s. Want to work remotely? Nope. You have to literally drive to your store to see how sales are doing.
Bullship: Cloud-based software you can access online from anywhere, on any device (MacBook, phone, tablet, whatever you have). You can assist your staff and customers 24/7 (if youβd like), all you need is wifi, just go to Bullship.co and login.
2. Affordable Pricing
PostalMate: Starts at $120/month, plus a $395 onboarding fee, and you still have to pay other for additional tools.
Bullship: Just $60/month (or $600/year) for all of our features. Free onboarding. Thatβs less than half the price, and twice the value ($1140 in the first year savings alone, just saying).
3. Automated Payments for Mailbox Customers
PostalMate: Nope. Youβre on your own for figuring out subscription payments and keeping your mailboxes up to date like a grumpy landlord.
Bullship: Automated and pro-rated customer payments through Stripe, meaning everyone pays on the same day, every month, automatically. No more chasing overdue mailbox customers. And itβs all tracked on a dashboard for you in real time.
4. Modern, User-Friendly Interface
PostalMate: Outdated software that feels like Windows 95 with manual software updates you have to download and install.
Bullship: Sleek, intuitive website interface thatβs easy to use. No software to download. Updates are done for you online automatically. You info is saved on a secure remote database. You can now run your pack-and-ship store smoothly with a platform actually designed for doing business in 2025.
5. Text and Email Alerts for Mailbox Customers
PostalMate: No built-in notification system for mailbox customers. You gotta pay extra for that.
Bullship: Automatically send texts and/or email notifications to customers (for free) when their packages and/or regular mail arrives. Clear communication β β Happier customers β Less angry phone calls β Increased customer retention
6. Cheaper Shipping Labels
PostalMate: Locked in to PostalMate label costs with zero alternate integrations.
Bullship: Ever notice labels are so much cheaper on sites like PirateShip and Shippo even though youβre paying all this money for Postalmate? Wellβ¦ Leverage our partnerships to access the cheapest shipping labels on the market (which means more profit per label for you).
7. Sales Dashboard
PostalMate: Hope you like excel spreadsheets.
Bullship: View your sales numbers, customers, products, inventory all from one dashboard. Again this is web-based so you can do this at home, from your other stores, from any device.
