piron_t··on Shyp Goes Nationwide By Letting You Comparison-Shop Shipping Services
If you add a low/high price estimate, I'll probably give it a new try.

You can also probably add a "Is this item fragile" as an option to add less or more padding.

Also I send 3 boxes of the exact same size, it would be great in your app to be able to duplicate items (I had to create one big package by adding the height and weight all together, was too lazy to create 3 different ones, or 2 in a extra large and 1 in a large)

I sent an email to the support and got refund a bit. (all the boxes I shipped were the same size, but I don't know why they were slightly different for all of them in the confirmation email I received ..)

I sent 3 boxes (same size) to a friend, the estimate price was $95 + 25 of shipping, the total price I paid was $248.36, even if they had all the measurements/weight within the app. They split my package in 3 and made me pay full price. (When you enter the weight, they don't say it's 50lb max) so they send 3 shipments (they could have done 2 instead of 3, but I guess the guy who packages my stuff was lazy and also entered different LxWxH for the exact same boxes). I contacted the support and got a refund of $60ish. The price you see in the app should be the price you'll pay, not +200ish % ... (Again, they have a picture + all the measurements/weight ...)

I can't agree more with Brador, you're really risking your freedom and if they don't have a bug bounty, you might end up in court / being sued.
