Why are Linnworks sellers switching?
Linnworks was once the go-to for UK multi-channel sellers. But over the past two years, prices have increased significantly - with many sellers reporting bills jumping from £200-£300/month to over £600/month with little warning. The UK Business Forums have dozens of threads from sellers actively looking for alternatives.
Price hikes
Many sellers report 2-3× increases mid-contract with minimal notice.
Complexity
Linnworks is built for warehouses and logistics teams, not 1-10 person eBay/Shopify businesses.
Overkill
You're paying for features you'll never use - just to get the ones you do need.
