ShipBob is thorough with communication and great at assisting you in the setup process. It is easy to get set up and begin shipping! The merchant success specialists I have worked with have been great at answering questions and finding resolutions. There are some aspects we are not fond of, the costs of WROs and the precision required when sending supplies (we order from supply stores and have it sent directly there, so affixing labels is not always possible); they do not seem to work well with USPS (we have had 1 or 2 days in the last year where all of our orders from a specific day were labeled but never moved or it took a week or more for them to). All in all positive experience, I do recommend inquiring about fulfillment times if you are guaranteeing same-day shipping, etc.

Hi Fresh Test team -- thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I would love to unpack the USPS issue with you - we have a great relationship and custom contract with the postal service and purchase millions of labels per year. I don't know what this specific issue is, but I'm sure it's not a systemic thing. Please feel free to reach out to me at partnerships@shipbob.com and include your Merchant Success Manager and we can investigate how to avoid any delays in the future!

Great integration overall! I needed some assistance from support with both ShipBob and Shopify in order to get everything working, but I was also a bit of an edge use case in my needs. Once set up, it's been a breeze to use overall.

Overall ShipBob has been a good experience. My merchant success specialist has been a really big help. I do wish the app/website was more mobile friendly. It's very hard to navigate and many of the features are next to impossible to do when not on a computer. I work 90% from my phone so it's a struggle. The shopify integration is pretty solid. I do notice quite a bit of delay sometimes with tracking crossing over from shipbob to shopify. Sometimes it never crosses over at all so I have to add it manually but it's pretty rare. No problems with order syncing, it's fast and accurate. Overall I would recommend!

Thanks for your feedback on the mobile site. It's true - some pages are not meant to view on a mobile device. To be honest, it's intentional! Some of the info is so dense, we don't think a mobile experience would do it justice. However -- the Order Details page should be fully mobile-compliant, so perhaps bookmarking that would be helpful.

Regarding the delay - this really does surprise me. Our tracking sync with Shopify is almost instantaneous - but it occurs when the package leaves our facility and goes into the carriers' hands, NOT when the tracking number is created. That's a big difference - sometimes can be a day depending on when the order is packed. This is again intentional - because we dont want you having a ton of blank tracking numbers causing WISMO (where is my order) questions. But -- if you email me at partnerships@shipbob.com with a few examples, I can troubleshoot for you.

Cheers!

Software has powerful analytics
Almost 100% order fulfillment rate
Ritesh has been a helpful account manager

Areas for improvement are investigating patterns in unsuccessfully delivered orders and improving processes to prevent the same error from happening for future orders.

Shipbob has been able to offer great solutions to our needs from a 3PL. We were nervous about the change but now we don't look back!

Installation of the App was extremely easy and we had someone help us onboard who was there whenever we needed, so it made the process far from intimidating. When it comes to speed and reliability of order ingestion, the process is fairly straight forward and easy. If you have inventory ready, the process is seamless. I would say the only hiccup is with Amazon FBA orders but Shipbob is always willing to help. Overall when it comes to tracking upload speed, communication of order progress, and speed ShipBob has been a great partner. As with any 3PL there will always be some issues, it's the nature of the business, but it's good to know that we can rely on ShipBob's technical support team to get things figured out.

Hi Komuso team - would love to unpack that FBA issue with you. I know the new workflow was rolled out recently, perhaps we can make some improvements there that make it easier for you! Please get in touch with your Merchant Success manager or email me at partnerships@shipbob.com.

Highly recommend ShipBob for B2C orders. They make the process much easier, transparent, and with analytics! Their team is also passionate about making sure you get all the support you need via email, phone, and scheduled meetings. They're quickly expanding internationally too, so there's a lot of opportunity to grow with them. They're still building up their B2B services. If your products are not fragile or heavy and can be shipped on pallets for B2B with their shipping services, I still recommend them. Unfortunately for us, our products are fragile, heavy, and parcel only, and the B2B services wasn't a good match. We tried their service where we make our own labels for B2B orders too but it didn't work out. They're extremely good at making shipping labels for you though! Truly an automated system if you let them take over fulfilment for you.

Hi Ferris Wheel Press team -- I'm sorry to hear our B2B/wholesale process didn't work for you. I'm going to ping your Merchant Success specialist to see if there are any workarounds coming down our feature pipeline... stay tuned!

I am still new to the new ShipBob fulfillment experience, I am told things will pick up once I am more acclimated. So we are optimistic that is true

I love how simple the back-end reporting is. You can also watch your orders being picked, packed, and processed in real time. They are great at turning around orders in 1 day!
