Really impressed with the both the app and the shipbob team. Switching 3PLs always feels risky, but incredibly glad we did. A few of the highlights
- Multiple warehouse spread across the country
- Ability to send inventory to a single warehouse and have it be automatically distributed
- Our fulfillment costs are about $2-3 less per order now
- Really high fulfillment accuracy. Previous 3PL had an error rate of about 0.5% and Shipbob it at least 10x less.
- Great software. Really easy to create digital bundles, add products together
- Inventory analytics and visibility through the software to forecast how long supply is remaining.
- Auto-shipping speed upgrades if a warehouse gets overwhelmed and they miss their SLA. This is really nice b/c it gives our customer service team some peace of mind if order get shipped out a day late.
- Easy to get reimbursements for lost product or packages.
- Good EDI integrations if you do B2B or wholesale

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 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!

They lost my inventory!

ShipBob is terrible and I will be moving to another 3PL provider ASAP.

I was hesitant what with the negative reviews here and on TrustPilot, but the sales team and onboarding process gave me confidence. Boy was I wrong and should've gone with my first instinct to avoid them like the plague.

On a single receiving order they managed to create chaos and have nearly destroyed my business.

Some of the specific issues that are still not resolved.

1. On receiving an order they incorrectly weighed items so the weight in the system was 5x the actual weight, there is no way to change this data. We use CartBob (another Shopify app) for dynamic shipping rates and the impact of this is that customers were overcharged 2-3x for shipping. Many potential customers rightly dropped off and frequent customers complained that we were ripping them off on shipping (fair point). I raised the issue 6 days ago, was assured the items would be rescanned 5 days ago and still nothing has been fixed. They also had the audacity to say they were going to charge me for the time of rescanning the affected products, despite it clearly being their fault.

2. 360 units of SKUs were deleted from their system in error. The stock is sitting there as I can see the history, but the system is saying it's 0. I raised with support and after 3 days they have not resolved the issue. They just so happened to be the highest selling SKUs and so the marketing dollars spent on driving traffic is wasted.

I can accept that issues happen, but the most important thing is taking responsibility and correcting them in a timeframe that minimises the damage to their customers business.

When things go well, it works well, however if there is any issue they are impossible to reach and the response time is disgraceful.

The support team are incredibly slow and operate with an arrogance, disdain and severe lack of empathy for the customers.

---UPDATE---
After 7 days they have told me that they can't find the 360 items of inventory, despite there being a visible audit history in the system of the inventory being received on their end. What's particularly interesting is all inventory changes are tied to a specific users full name, but in the case of deleting the inventory it was tied to a shared user name ("Junior 2") so the actual person responsible is not identifiable. This gives an insight into how their internal operations work.

A 3PL that loses that amount of inventory cannot and should not be trusted.

I have a simple business, only 26 SKUs, everything lightweight and nothing bulky.

They are amateurs and completely negligent.

Do not trust them with your business.

Syron team -- I will reach out directly to discuss these issues. Sounds like a classic (but unfortunate) case of products in eaches vs. inner cases. This is solveable and if you aren't getting the help you need, we should jump on a call ASAP!

Reaching out directly shortly.

We have worked with various 3PLs but have had the best experience with Shipbob. We love working with our account manager Samantha Diapolo, we always receive excellent communication especially during an emergency situation.
I give this 4 stars because we are still working through some tech issues but will be happy to update once this is all resolved.

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.
