ShipBob Fulfillment , 226 reviews

After several years we are ending our relationship with Shipbob. They have overcharged us multiple times to the tune of thousands of dollars. Most recently, we submitted a work order to remove our few remaining items so we could close out our account. After paying for that work order, they "found" two cases of our most popular product of which we'd been sold out of for months. We relisted the item on our website and sold all but two units just in case there were any lost/damaged orders. We then submitted a disposal request for the warehouse to dispose of the two remaining 3.4 fl oz tubes of moisturizer so we could close our account. This should only cost a few dollars. Instead, Shipbob charged us $500 to dispose of two skincare products that fit in the palm of your hand. We raised the issue with Shipbob and weeks later we are still awaiting the refund...

Shipbob is an absolute nightmare. I have never dealt with a company with such poor customer service. It takes weeks to resolve issues that are mistakes on their end. We have had consistent issues with them entering significantly incorrect product dimensions and weights. This has resulted in customers being quoted shipping rates 5-8 times higher than they should be. To make it worse, their customer service is taking weeks to fix each issue. The most recent issue took 6 weeks, just to get them to correct incorrect product dimensions (customers can't edit product dimensions or weights). For anyone considering using Shipbob, I would strongly encourage you to look at alternative options.

DO NOT go with Shipbob. Several hidden fees that they were not transparent about before coming onboard. If you're an apparel brand or any brand with several SKUs (i.e. size/color combinations), their warehousing costs are astronomical. They are 6X the price of my previous warehouse and cost more than rent for an entire house in the area. I'm moving my inventory ASAP and deeply regret the headache and money its costs me moving to Shipbob.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
