ShipBob Fulfillment

Great app. Works seamlessly and super easy to onboard with the Shipbob team and my Implementation Specialist- Ankit Gupta.

There are definitely pros and cons to shipbob. The shopify app works fine and they do have a lot of features, adding new tech features like EDI capability and integrations with SPSCommerce. However, on the b2b side, we have experienced issues. D2C works pretty seamlessly and connects to shopify with few issues.

What the hell is wrong with those people"? Is it a fulfillment center or just a warehouse to store some stuffs? Why can't they fulfill my unique order? I do want to get complaint from my first customer? Will you ask them what they are waiting for? I am paying my storage fee monthly! Why are they trying to screw me up at the very beginning?

Just awful. I have been using a mom and pop company to fulfill my goods for years with no issues, but their software is really dated. So I tried Shipbob to compare the two. Wow. It's just been a disaster from day one. My onboarding rep was very hard to reach and I had to ask him the same question 5x to get an answer via email. They tried multiple times to weight and size my items when they arrived but never did get a good handle on it. The same product in the same size but a different color would come out like 2x the weight, for example. Customer service is very odd. You create a case via email and then get new emails for each reply they make, it's nearly impossible to keep track of all the emails about 1 issue. There is no way to go back and see past issues unless you keep those emails. They have lost inbound shipments. Lastly, almost every single inbound shipment is not received correctly and they are confused about the orders causing my items to be placed in an On Hold status and I am charged $25 per day until it's resolved.

It's a nightmare. I'm frantically trying to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Helpful, informative and effective - our implementation manager Jordan held our hand every step of the way !

If you want to grow your business, avoid Shipbob!
Support: Their support is incredibly inefficient, every single issue takes days (or weeks) to resolve.

Pricing: They make promises to review your pricing if you exceed a specific monthly spending limit and once that limit is exceeded, they say they cannot lower your costs. Their prices have been constantly increasing for several months, adding costs for no reason.

Storage: Despite very low stocks stored at Shiphbob, they charged me 12 pallets (I don't know if it was intended to charge more to customers or if it's just poorly optimized in the warehouse).

Shipbob seems to be growing too fast and no longer caring about its customers (despite more than $160,000 in annual bills) with very poorly managed support and constantly increasing costs so if you want to grow your business, I do not recommend Shipbob at all.

Ease of installation - They make it very simple with endless resources and very clear links and on top of that they have a dedicated manager to your account that helps you out of any sticky situation

Speed and reliability of order ingestion - This works really well, the only thing that needs to be upgrades is the manual process of WRO which is the box configurations. You have to manually mount each box content. This should be part of a spreadsheet.

Tracking upload speed - This happens quickly from the tests we have done

Technical support / outages - The manager Aravinhtan has been very responsive and in helping us

Also, as a next step I would ask them to integrate more with Gorgias to allow us to create return labels without having to go into shipbbob

Terrible service and support. Your business is at risk using this provider. We got overcharged, they refused to refund monies owed when we try to close the account and account management will keep pushing you to support where you will get lost in their system. They also very inefficient and you will get charged an arm and leg for their inefficient practices. Overall a scam company and AVOID

I'm hoping it gets better but looking bad so far. My first order sat for four days before they shipped it out. One of things most advertised about ShipBob for Shopify store owners is their direct integration with the stores. That does not seem to include tracking notifications to the customer, so now instead of fulfilling orders, I'm constantly checking my phone waiting for confirmation that an order was eventually shipped so I can send to my customer. Got a bad feeling about this.

Seriously the worst fulfillment company on the planet! At first, they attract you with low shipping fees and suddenly they increase the shipping fees! At first items were charged based on actual weight, the shipping fee is 7$. now they are charged on dimensional weight! An magic wand shipping costs like $70!!!! How ridiculous is that!!! Their US shipping fee is a lot higher than direct ship from China. 17USD for 300G , I do not know how many business can be profitable on this. Shame!
