PickupBird Pickup Points
A Hungary-focused pickup-point and label app with very consistently praised hands-on support, but a rating inflated by minutes-old onboarding reviews and one serious complaint about checkout options disappearing.
Should you install it?
For a Hungarian store that wants customers to choose an MPL, GLS or Packeta pickup point at checkout and print labels from the same app, this looks like a safe and well-supported choice. The strongest and most consistent signal is support: about 40 reviews praise fast, hands-on help, including long-term users. Expect to lean on support during setup, and do not expect deep customisation. The one detailed complaint, from June 2025, describes delivery options not appearing at checkout and lost sales; it has not repeated in the 16 months since, but test your checkout with your other apps before relying on it. Outside Hungary there is almost no evidence either way.
Fair evidence. 76 reviews with only 51 carrying text, nearly all from Hungary, with about 47% written in the first month of use and likely prompted. The positive consensus is consistent, but the sample is narrow and has just one negative.
Right for
- Hungarian Shopify stores that want customers to choose an MPL, GLS or Packeta pickup point or locker at checkout (2422, 7130, 2062)
- Merchants who ship with several local carriers and want labels printed from one place (4518, 8043, 0921)
- Non-technical owners who want a vendor that helps with setup in chat (2868, 7392, 2062)
Wrong for
- Merchants who need a fully customisable checkout or delivery-option logic; one reviewer says it needs further development for that (9346)
- Stores outside Hungary and Central/Eastern Europe: 74 of 76 reviews are Hungarian and no non-Hungarian reviewer describes real use
- Stores with several overlapping shipping or checkout apps or duplicate carrier configs, where the one detailed complaint says options failed to show (5643)
- Anyone who needs proof of high-volume performance: no reviewer states order volumes
What will annoy you
Initial setup is fiddly and usually needs support to get through: 3 reviews, steady, last seen 2026-08.
How the developer behaves when it breaks
Replies to almost every review with text, usually within a few days and in the reviewer's language (Hungarian or English), though the replies are largely templated thanks. On the one 2★ it replied after 9 days, pointing to overlapping Packeta settings and other apps and inviting contact, with no sign the reviewer's issue was resolved. On the latest bulk-label query it said bulk printing works and that staff had already contacted the reviewer. Reviewers report issues fixed quickly, including a theme edit by the team.

Red flags
- One merchant reports checkout delivery options failing repeatedly, with lost sales and no compensation; the developer attributed it to overlapping Packeta configurations and other apps. Only one such report, none since June 2025, but it describes revenue-impacting breakage. 5643
Trend
Review volume is rising (33 in the last 12 months vs 13 in the prior 12) and there have been no negative reviews in the last 12 months. The only 2★ is from June 2025. Four text-less 4★ ratings appeared in 2026 (1283, 8248, 2564, 2271) after none before, and the reason is unknown. Early reviews (2023–24) praise the app for filling a gap for several local carriers and label printing. Recent text names MPL and GLS and shows minor friction (setup, customisation, bulk labels). Reviews up to December 2025 call the app "Digiloop", which suggests a rename, though the reviews do not say so.
