ShipBob Fulfillment

I would not recommend Shipbob to my worse enemies. We are a small company currently growing and the amount of issues we have to deal with makes zero sense. We are calling support EVERY WEEK to handle issues made by them. They don't care and repeat the same mistakes. Even though customer service is very kind, I am starting to recognize their voices from calling so often. They make mistakes with deliveries, with packing, they break my items and don't tell me, they ship broken items, etc.

As a business owner, you want to trust who is handling your product. Shipbob is not trustworthy.

BEWARE!

We started fulfilling through ShipBob in October 2025 and it has been the worst decision we have made since launching the business. One of the carriers that was included in the ship-option was Amazon Shipping. ShipBob has shipped so many (at least 50%) of our orders via Amazon Shipping and it has been an absolute nightmare! All of our inventory is at ShipBob's FC in Las Vegas and all ordered shipped through Amazon Shipping initially travel to San Bernandino, CA. Most orders sit in San Bernandino for a few days without any updates. That is the case even if the shipping address is southern California. For East Coast shipping addresses, they eventually start moving east (that's if they ever start moving). Even if the final destination is Texas, Amazon will move the packages to Alabama or Tennessee. The packages will then sit there for another few days. In the meantime, customers are furious that Amazon either provides no updates or they never deliver. We then reach out to ShipBob for answers except ShipBob never escalates the issues to Amazon for updates.

After weeks of complaining to ShipBob and asking them to remove Amazon Shipping from our carriers list, they finally respond and suggest a new rate sheet that will literally cost us 22.47% more to exclude Amazon from the list. We are speechless! This was the response after ShipBob actively pushed us out for several weeks while we were dealing with customer complaints and having to ship replacement units at our own expense (because ShipBob has a 30-45 day window you have to wait for before you become eligible to file a claim).

We are scaling quickly and ShipBob has done a good job losing the opportunity to build a long term relationship with us.

p.s. Good luck trying to reach the salesperson at ShipBob for support. They disappear once you sign up with them.

I had a poor experience using ShipBob and would suggest small businesses look for a different provider for warehousing and fulfilment. Keep looking.

N/A

Shipbob picked up our fulfillment when we outgrew our capacity and interest to continue doing it ourselves. Their integration with Shopify works nicely, has continuously improved, and the suite of related apps lets us focus on other parts of growing our business. I think Shipbob is a great fit for D2C companies shipping products that don't require ultra specific handling. Less so if custom packaging is required or items are fragile; still do-able at Shipbob, but their model favors simple-item-in-box shipments

We've been with ShipBob for a few years now and were quite happy in the beginning, but then as we began to expand globally we encountered an inventory syncing issue with Shopify Plus Markets. At first there didn't seem to be a solution and we were worried we'd have to leave ShipBob and find and alternative solution.

However, they really came through for us. Our account manager, Savi, and Simon from their dev team put together a custom solution to solve our integration problem. It took them some time and effort to develop and test the solution, but it has made our life so much easier and we're super stoked to be staying with ShipBob now that our integration issues are solved.

They really came through for us in the end. In fact, they came through for us in the beginning too. When we first came to ShipBob it was a rush onboarding because our current 3PL at the time had just sold to another company and it was a total gong show. We needed to get rehomed fast and ShipBob managed to onboard us fast when we really needed it.

I would highly recommend ShipBob. They have been awesome for us.

Don’t use ShipBob if you want to sell in the UK.

They have blocked my orders for two months now, due to re review of duty paid (which we have shared documentation for).

We missed out on Black Friday and Christmas sales and it’s destroying our small company.

I respect the need for compliance, but it’s been two months since we sent documentation and ShipBob has stopped responding. Unacceptable.

Ease of installation 10/10
Speed and reliability of order ingestion 10/10
Tracking upload speed 10/10
Value-add features like inventory sync, rules, and order processing delay 10/10
Technical support 7/10 but when you get your volume orders up, then you get a merchant care specialist assigned to your account and the experience becomes 10/10.

ShipBob has been a great app and I recommend it to anyone looking for a 3PL app. Customer support is always very helpful. The app itself is pretty intuitive once you learn the ins and outs of it and fulfillment times are very good. It really helped me take my business to the next level!

Shipbob constantly sets for feature improvement which is important. They have many locations in the US, also other countries which help for international brand to establish more markets.
There network of last mile and their affordable fulfilment are helpful to grow a brand business.
