Basic company info on packing lists - deleted option for smaller Bronze accounts.

Long term Shipstation user, over 8 years. A simple suggestion, please make it possible to have basic company info, like phone/email/website print out on packing slips. And the default location for "qty" field should be left side next to the SKU field, like any standard invoice/slip in the world. Not fancy customization of higher tier plans, make this the basic default for bronze users too.

We are a smaller business, and rarely have enough orders for the "silver" plan. Most the year we use the "Bronze" plan. The "Silver" plan lets you customize packing slips and invoices. When we had that plan we made a few basic adjustments to the default packing list, added our company contact info like phone/website, and moved the "Qty" field to the left next to the SKU field. Better functioning layout. Just this week, Shipstation removed the saved minor customizations we had. And told us if we do not pay for Silver indefinitely, we will lose the customized packing list settings the minute we downgrade to Bronze. This is very petty and arbitrary behavior, and disappointing. Not only we can't use the saved template, they DELETED it.

The increased charges to use basic features, our 1 carrier account have been getting harder to justify. This new move is one more frustration to add to that list.

Please stop hurting small business, by pricing out basic features to higher tiers. Having our company phone/email print on a packing list is not worth $40 more a month! ( $30 more for silver + $10 extra for our 1 single carrier account)

I agree with the poster 100%. We should not have to pay double to have basic features like having the SKU and unit price on the packing slip. I am seriously considering leaving Shipstation after 10+ years because of this. 

Item price, Item Quantity and Item SKU are basic option that must be included on the packing slip. How are we supposed to match the correct item with the correct label without the SKU? It is a ridiculous and unnecessary money grab. If this isn't fixed ASAP you will loose 1,000's of customers.

Totally agree, I am currently looking for an alternative to switch to because they no longer allow us to edit our packing slips on the bronze plan. I have been with shipstation for years and rode out the price increases only to feel like this is a slap in the face to get us to pay double for that ONE feature. I never thought I would leave shipstation and wouldn't have considered it until they changed this. I just can't justify paying double just to have acess to editing the packing slips.
