Reviews
what people actually sayPacklink PRO for WooCommerce is a shipping plugin with competitive rates and a generally smooth experience for some users, but it is held back by recurring bugs, unreliable support, and persistent translation/localisation failures.
What people like
- +Support is described as fast, professional, and responsive when it does engage×3
- +Competitive shipping prices×2
- +Generally works as expected for basic shipping workflows×2
Common complaints
- −Support is frequently unresponsive or absent, with users reporting no replies or extremely long waits×4
- −Translation/localisation is broken — plugin does not adapt to the shop's language and some strings (e.g. pickup point button) remain untranslated across updates×3
- −Setup/configuration fails for some users, getting stuck on basic configuration with no reliable fix from support×2
- −Pickup/drop-off point selection is broken on mobile, showing a blank page
- −Bug introduced in version 3.3.1 caused the drop-off location selector to block cart checkout even after a point was selected (since 3.3.1)
- −Version 3.4 breaks order editing, leaving order details blank; rolling back to 3.3.4 resolves it (since 3.4)
- −Outdated bundled FPDF library causes PDF generation failures when used alongside other plugins (e.g. German Market) on PHP 8, reported over a year ago with no fix
- −An update silently reset and disabled configured couriers without user consent
- −Claims policy is only 7 days post-delivery (including weekends), shorter than the 14-day window offered by carriers like UPS, leaving users without recourse for lost shipments
