ShipBob Fulfillment

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.

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.

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

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!

More than happy to take your money and leave you waiting for months without solutions. It takes 2 weeks for them to get anything done and even then its often wrong.

If Zero starts was possible i will give it. Unless you are interested in ruining your business i will deeply suggest that you don't use shipbob. I read all the bad reviews online and still ignored it. Please don't be like me. Shipbob as completely ruined my business and left me with a chain of angry customers. For a whole month, all my international orders where shipped and automatically returned to sender. This is terrible because international shipping with shipbob costs a fortune. How can a business survive this. Let me explain how terrible this is. i spend $20 plus on ship an order that cost $60 including shipping fee. Shipbob ships the item unsuccessfully and then charge me $20 to return the item and now wants to charge me another $20 to reship the item. So basically i have lost $60 for every international order i got. That almost a $6000 dollar loss because this happened with close to 100 orders in one month. My terrible experience with shipbob has sent me into terrible depression. It has been the worst experience of my life. My paypal account and stripe is ruined because of multiple disputes due to lost packages and undelivered items. Please do not use shipbob, they will ruin your life and the business you've worked so hard to build.

I wish I could leave zero stars! Beware! The damage has already been done to our business. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere unless you are looking for a shipping company that cannot ship!! 10+ days for fulfillment during the holidays, mispicked damage and lost parcels, inventory processing delays, the list goes on. They use OSM worldwide for their affordable pricing plan which still ends up being $14-20 for packages that we would normal ship first class for under $6. They claim free dunnage and packed with care but we had to submit claims every day for damaged deliveries.

Our customers were furious and our customer service team worked over time by the damage to our business has been immeasurable. We are no on day 12 of waiting for our inventory to ship back to us. AGAIN THIS IS A SHIPPING COMPANY THAT CANNOT SHIP!

Customer service is outsourced, slow, and just “escalates” with no resolution. I can keep going on all day with the immeasurable headache shipbob has caused.

Their management is pathetic. Their warehouse employees are lazy. This company will not last if only the truth got out.

BEWARE

*UPDATE
Our inventory was returned by ship Bob. Everything was thrown into boxes, including the glass products. We filed a claim and waited 120 days they took zero responsibility and denied our claim. Shocker. We are filing a lawsuit.

Avoid ShipBob at all Costs. 1) We shipped to 2 of their warehouses, they lost all of the inventory in 1 of the warehouses and then took THREE months to find it. 2) They say they can ship in your custom shipping box. They can't. No matter what they say they can't. They mailed our customers our product in a generic box and inside that generic box they put our custom box unfolded... as if the customer had ordered an empty box. 3) Their customer service is absolutely unable to help with anything -- all of these errors they create are your problem to resolve. ShipBob customer service will tell you they are "working on it" or "sent it to the team that can resolve it". Nothing will happen and this will / has been going on for FOUR months. Literally. An entire season. As a small business owner time is everything. And ShipBob seems to have no respect for that and worse yet they are unable to do the very thing they advertise: fulfill your orders. Go somewhere else and hire literally any other fulfillment service and save yourself months of headache and frustration.

SHIPBOB STOLE $1000 FROM ME AND ISN'T GIVING IT BACK. PLEASE HELP THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY I'VE EVER WORKED WITH. UPDATE: I HAVE HAD THREE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES WITH THIS COMPANY:
1. This company shipped out close to 40 of my orders that had been fulfilled from MONTHS ago in my Shopify. Even though I made sure automatic fulfillment wasn't on, this company took data from all my orders without marking them as complete and sent 40 customers duplicate orders 4 months later. They didn't reply to my 50 emails and several calls and at the end told me they would only give me half of the shipping costs of the wrongly sent out orders as CREDIT back to my shipbob account. They aren't even letting me move my inventory out of there after this huge error without paying 0.25c per item I have there (I have thousands). I'm so upset about this and at the TERRIBLE customer service I've received. This is a PSA to never use this service. 2. They charged me $775 USD in fees because their system messed up my inventory receiving order, which was arranged by their own support member. Then they wired it back to me and took over a month to give me my money back even though I was charged immediately (Still waiting). 3. I became so fed up with this company that I moved my inventory back to Canada. They sent my international freight from the US to Canada and didn't attach a commercial invoice (a VERY BASIC SHIPPING RULE). I had to chase them down for days and after a week of the stuff sitting at the border, they said this was a huge error on our part and I had to go through a third party broker (AND PAY EXTRA) to have my stuff cleared. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE COMPANY. I am actively working on deterring businesses from working with them. DON'T DO IT. Use Shiphero or Shipstation.

ShipBob has been an absolute disaster to work with (moved over to them in March 2023). They consistently ship my products out without sufficient packaging and void fill, resulting in damaged goods and bad customer experiences. (I sell books and magazines—predictable shapes and sizes, so this should be easy!) Despite numerous promises that they will address the problem and follow very clear instructions on how to pack my products properly, they are still doing a terrible job. In addition, their interface is very slow and poorly designed. The one star is that they are fast at getting shipments out the door, but obviously, that's because they seem to toss everything into a box without any concern.
