Mailchimp Email SMS Marketing

The app was having issues syncing, but customer service was great, and helped me considerably with our core issue of fake sign-ups.
This was Jovanna, and very clever in how to sort fake contacts and block the problem in the future.

The integration is working fine, and is good value for money, but it does not FILTER subscribers and non-subscribers and we incur additional fees as a result if we don't keep on top of the subscriber limit and this has to be done manually by ourselves. Not thrilled by this additional burden.

UPDATE 12-6-22: Received an answer via Mailchimp for Shopify Support (app developer team) and they tried to help us. They rolled out an update and after that our problem was solved! Now everything is running as normal: perfect and smooth :-) 11-09-22: We are running into a technical issue with customers optin into our newsletter. Mailchimp is telling us we need to get in contact with the Mailchimp app developer, but if we get in contact with them via the email (no other option??) we receive the following: Thanks for reaching out. The support team for Mailchimp for Shopify is currently offline. If you have specific how-to-use Mailchimp questions (setting up Campaigns, Pop-ups, Automations, etc.), the support team for those features is online 24/7, 7 days a week. You can reach out to them anytime via this support link. Otherwise, we'll be in touch when we're back in the office as soon as we can! Have a great day in the meantime. So NO SUPPORT and in the meantime we have a BIG issue, but no help!

Dean has been very helpful the last hour. Dean gets 5 stars
The support this morning prior to Dean was really terrible and a waste of my time as well as your employees. I finally got so frustrated and fed up that I closed my account.I was told on 12/6/24 by the onboarding person that all the info would be synced and uploaded ot mailchimp. It was not as of Dec 9 . No one could figure out how to upload all my products and the pictures. I need to create email marketing pieces that were supposed to have gone out yesterday Dec 9.
I thought for sure i would be able to get the emails out today by 8 am est. WRONG WRONG WRONG
Well see if this all works later this afternoon now that i habe lost another entire day of marketing to ship to the east coast which means customers will have to pay more for shipping.
This is not to be released to the public it is only for inhouse use by mailchimp

I'd like to have more control over the collections that appear

Not the best for very small business. The up charge for additional email blocks is where they get you. Looking to leave them asap. Paying twice as much as I would be happy with for my usage.

I've been using MailChimp and the ShopSync app which MailChimp now bought. Having problems with high abuse complaints, although I have no idea how that is possible since we are a small company that follows all the strict guidelines. Then for some reason customers are not syncing correctly. People who have unsubscribed can't resubscribe. It's a mess. However, the customer service is helpful if you have a paid plan and they are helping me sort it out, which is nice to know they are reliable in that sense.

UI could be more intuitive. David was great help in navigating me through it though.

App & store not syncing properly, despite manual resync. The biggest concern & issue is the absolute lack of response and customer service. I've tried several different methods of contacting mailchimp and have waited over several days. Worst customer service compared to other platforms I've used.

Very Buggy, Whenever I want to update products onto a email template, it always ask me to reconnect my Shopify store.
