PostalMate vs. Bullship

Tired of PostalMate? Save Money, Try Bullship πŸ’΅

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 And if you’re reading this, then you likely already agree… PostalMate is outdated, overpriced, inconvenient, and clunky.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.

Comparison of two subscription plans, Postmate at $120 per month and Bullship at $60 per month, highlighting features included in both plans and the savings with Bullship.

Let’s Compare

1. Web-Based Convenience

  • PostalMate: Installed software tied to on-site desktop PCs like it’s 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 you’d 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. That’s 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. You’re 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 it’s 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  • PostalMate: Outdated software that feels like Windows 95 with manual software updates you have to download and install.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 that’s 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 you’re paying all this money for Postalmate? Well… 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.

Multiple electronic devices displaying a logistics management software interface, including a smartphone, a laptop, and a tablet, showing packages, revenue, and shipment details.
