LVK Logistics

DO NOT SHIP WITH SHIPHERO ' LVK if you need customers to be able to return an order, and I would say most business need this ability.
Our experience has been shocking from a 'professional and business' perspective.
Just as Christmas shopping started they shut down return lables (at the end of Oct) with NO notifcation to their customers. Our team was making the requests as normal with no reply for weeks and only when we hit the roof did we finally have someone tell us they will no longer offer returns. We had NO time to pivot at all.
They have NO solution for return to sender packages - we ship out $300 - $1500 orders and if they need to be rts they literally go to some random place in Blaine WA where they disappear. We have $1000.00 of packages that the staff has just kept and never reshipped to the LVK warehouse they originated from or back to the customer and LVK has been 'working on it' for over a year.
They won't help change delivery address' when an error has been made but ship so the customer can't make changes themselves. They charge high prices for signature but then don't get them. We even were set to start shipping from another warehouse at the start of Jan for a new line and they told us last minute they don't have space BUT when I sent an email under another business name they told me they had space and set up could be done in days. I have set up a new warehouse with a smaller family run shipping company and we will stop using this shipper the moment we are sold out of items. They really don't care about your customers or you. Our experience has been with Soledad - be leary of these glowing reviews - they all look suspicious

Since ShipHero was bought by LVK, they implemented a plan to run off all small volume customers by implementing a $500/month "Tech" Charge. They basically shut down my business. Really, really awful! Before that happened they randomly split my inventory across warehouses and it then would take so long to assemble the pieces for my orders, that most of my orders begun to cancel.

I would highly recommend you steer clear if you are a small volume business. Heck, I would recommend any business to steer clear after what they did to my business. Truly horrible!

Great, immediate support (even on weekends when they state on the site that they're away) and the interface works well. Am 100% satisfied with ShipHero.

Great software, great team behind, highly recommend! They manage our inventory, pick and pack and ship at commercial price.

Easy to use, covers all aspects of shipping service, responsive and does not load your device. Improvements could be in use of cache. ShipHero is an excellent eCommerce partner. They resolve your problems as if their own. They value your success and help to make you succesful! ShipHero is diligent. Not a single shipment of mine had an issue. Accurate in their operation and work hard for you, just as a partner should!

Our experience with Shiphero has been amazing so far. From the product and integration perspective, it's straightforward and quick to setup. But if we had to highlight something about them is their fantastic team and support. Always there, ready to help you out. Great overall service.

Bel just helped me out of a bind with an important customer. She is prompt, professional, helpful and sent a funny gif! Highly recommend. Customer service is so important with fulfillment and any company that hires someone like Bel knows what they are doing.

Ship Hero interface is easy to use and their customer support has been super helpful with all the onboarding process and any questions I had. Recommended!

Where to start....As a small business owner, I am usually reluctant to resort to public platforms for expressing disappointment. However, after an unending barrage of challenges with ShipHero, I feel compelled to share our experience, and hopefully save others from similar frustration.

Our ordeal began with a constant need to contact customer support, approximately 2-3 times a week due to recurring issues.

Their sluggish response rate is only exacerbated by their knack for providing ambiguous, often irrelevant replies that don't resolve the issue. This futile correspondence cycle has become the norm rather than the exception and ends up taking up the majority of our time.

But beyond their poor service is their blatant disregard for our inventory. Moving it without notifying us and as a result losing it. Despite us providing ample evidence that they are responsible, ShipHero has consistently failed to reimburse us for numerous lost items, resulting in protracted discussions that remain unresolved.

Shipping prices quoted by ShipHero are frankly outrageous. We were initially led to believe that these charges were an unfortunate repercussion of the ongoing pandemic and subsequent carrier rate hikes.

However, our experience suggests otherwise. For "Special Projects", which involve larger shipments, we were continually subjected to inflated quotes, with reassurances that they offer the best market rates.

On a recent occasion, when I arranged FedEx pick-up independently, the cost was a staggering 60% less than ShipHero's quote. This overcharging under the pretense of carrier rates is not only dishonest but reprehensible.

The latest blow from ShipHero has been an unanticipated, ongoing monthly "tech fee" of $500, imposed on smaller companies like ours. It was announced in an email (buried under bullet point 4) less than a month before they charged us. Coupled with the ultimatum of 'like it or leave', it's a clear indicator of their scant regard for client welfare and survival.

Their customer service can best be described as dismal, with an apparent penchant for crafting rules on-the-go, fair warning or consideration for their clients.
The abundance of one-star reviews is a testament to a steady downward trajectory, further cementing their untrustworthiness.

Regrettably, we are tethered to ShipHero due to our extensive automations and existing stock. However, for those seeking a reliable 3PL partner, I would URGE you to look elsewhere!
The tarnish on ShipHero's reputation is not without reason, and their service has proven to be more of a liability than an asset.

ShipHero needs to take note of these experiences and implement drastic changes, lest they continue to hemorrhage their clientele and reputation.

Been pretty happy using them, mostly because of great support staff. Excellent if you're just getting started, and the only 3PL app that is on the app store and not a private app.
