FlavorCloud – Global Shipping

So far I have had a very positive experience with FlavorCloud. I love their chat that makes it so easy to communicate. I have been speaking with Mollie and she has been very helpful every step of the way. It is hardly possible to ship internationally without a service such as this for a small business, especially now that it is more or less required to prepay for taxes and duties. This makes it easy to do your own shipping or if using a smaller fulfillment center that does not have their own discount rates set up with DHL or FedEx (this requires large amounts of packages). Setting up VAT is also INCREDIBLY time consuming and VERY difficult. We just got started with FlavorCloud, and have not yet had any packages get lost or delayed in transit, and I hope when those issues arise, that it will be a smooth process.

GREAT customer service. App provides clear and helpful information to our customers explaining the combining of shipping costs + duties and taxes. I have recommended this app to other Shopify users.

Only issue: Unfortunately, it will not let you use the platform to make shipments other than the orders pulled from your store. Sometimes we combine orders for bulk shipments and have to use a different carrier for that :/

The app provided international shipping support to our customers. It was easy to use and helps expand our global presence.

FlavorCloud consistently provides cost cutting and marketing recommendations to help grow our business. Our PO, Keali, is well versed in the FC dashboard and goes above + beyond to work with us and our 3PL to ensure orders are being processed and sent out on time.

Be careful if you are shipping from the UK FedEx lost a parcel and we have no way of getting compensated for the loss which currently stands at around £400.
We have chased this with FlavorCloud and they have said they can't help us.
You have to be aware that when processing parcels in the UK with FedEx it is not a smooth process and involves requesting another label with a different tracking number from FlavorCloud that then sends the parcel to the FedEx hub in the UK. The parcel is then processed for overseas shipping from this Hub.
Our parcel clearly states it was delivered at Fedex's Hub with a signature of the Fedex employee that received it. FlavorCloud have done nothing to resolve this which doesn't make us confident using their service going forward.
