ShipBob Fulfillment

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

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 made all our fulfillment process SO simple and easy. As a merchant located in Canada fulfilling mainly to the USA, this has been extremely important. We are now shipping to USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and UK through Shipbob and it's been super easy. On top of that, their support team has been there every step of the way - including when I made a few pretty big errors myself. Everything is quickly answered and resolved. Thank you Shipbob!

Installation was a breeze, order ingestion lightning-fast, and tracking updates impressively swift. Their value-add features, including inventory sync and customizable rules, have significantly streamlined our workflow. However, what truly sets ShipBob apart is their exceptional technical support team, with a special shoutout to Ankit Srivastava and Chetan Mehrotra. These dedicated individuals have gone above and beyond, consistently providing us with invaluable assistance and support. They've been there for us every step of the way, even scheduling daily Zoom meetings to ensure everything runs seamlessly.

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.

My Merchant success incharge Chetan is very knowledge and good communicator, good one!

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

If you are in the market for an Australian based 3PL, avoid Shipbob at all costs if you value your time, money or sanity!

Short summary of our experience:
- SO MANY lost parcels due to use of cheap carriers.
- Once parcels are lost, the overseas support team have no idea how to resolve the issue and they build up with no resolution, leading to upset customers.
- Overcharged based on the agreed pricing which they refused to acknowledge for approx 4 x weeks. They finally folded and agreed to credit us the over charged amounts over 6 weeks ago and the credit has still not been received after 6 follow ups.
- Increased our pricing without prior notice or our consent.
- Storage is double the market rates.
- Inventory receipts overcharged (over $450 for 6 x pallets).
- Any issues raised take weeks to resolve with multiple follow ups.

Dealing with Shipbob was one of the most frustrating experiences our business has encountered over the last 3 years. Since moving to a new 3pl we have been very happy we are pleased Shipbob no longer consumes hours of our day.

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.

Shipbob made integration with our Shopify store totally seamless. Their onboarding process was digestible and formulaic, and we felt prepared every step of the way.
Ankit Gupta and his team made sure our team was comfortable with each step and felt prepared for launch day, even better, they continued to check in post launch to ensure our team was setup for greatness!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY TO FULFILL YOUR PRODUCTS!! I have used shipbob for over 2 years now and thought they were decent, minor issues but nothing crazy. Until one day out of the blue they told me they could no longer ship my product because of some sort of policy, BUT THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN SHIPPING THIS ITEM FOR ME FOR MONTHS to thousands of customers. They stopped shipping out any of my orders so I had no way to fulfil orders product to thousands of pending orders. The customer support is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, I found a new warehouse within 1 day and have been trying to get shipbob to ship my inventory from their warehouse to my new fulfilment centre AND THEY HAVE NOT EVEN SHIPPED IT YET! IT'S BEEN OVER 3 WEEKS SINCE I'VE ASKED THEM TOO!!! My business has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and I've had to pause all marketing and refund orders that Shipbob could not fulfill. PLEASE NEVER USE THIS COMPANY! You are much better off using Ship Dudes or Ship Monk - much better shipping and customer service experience overall. I am at a loss for words on how terrible this company is and how terrible they treat their customers and business they work alongside. Do yourself a favor and use someone else!
