For now, Shipping Wars is mostly about the perfectly packed trunk and the ecstasy of having not an inch to spare.

David Knowles · The Hollywood Reporter 50.00/100.00

Though the fast paced editing scheme manages to keep the point and click bidding from feeling as droll as Internet auctions are in real life, the relentlessly quick hits of dialog and action make the proceedings feel like a teaser rather than the actual program.

David Wiegand · San Francisco Chronicle 75.00/100.00

The 10-episode series may not win any major awards, but it's well made and fun to watch.
