ShipMonk | Order Fulfillment

I used ShipMonk as my 3PL for a silver jewelry company for almost 2 years... To start with, the onboarding was really frustrating and took WAY longer than the expectation that was set. Then we spent weeks changing the processes because their fulfillment team could not comprehend the proper way to package our simple items in their boxes correctly, despite documents and videos being provided. We stuck with it because we figured it was an "investment" that would pay off once we got it right. So we did stick with it, until I had virtually no other choice than to cancel them and get my inventory back due to the amount of my items that went "missing" while in their possession. My customers would regularly receive empty boxes, even though our in-house team packaged them and sealed them. This caused a lot of issues and multiple poor reviews. AND, when we finally received all of our remaining inventory back, not only was everything extremely dusty, but DOZENS of items were missing from the expected line sheet that they provided. Unfortunately, I think their staff is ruining what could be a great service, because the platform was excellent. But they have crooked staff in the fulfillment department and some lazy/uninterested staff in their customer service department. If left 2 stars because I have to give them credit for their great Shopify integration and really user friendly dashboard and because, once we finally got the process down, the fulfillment was working well. But, until they get rid of their bad apples, prevent the dust from piling up on the products in the warehouse, and hire some customer service reps that actually care, they will continue to get poor feedback.

The Shipmonk team is lazy, messy, sloppy and corrupt. They do not use FIFO for picking and packing inventory. They regularly lose goods. Their packing is outrageously sloppy, they have regular billing errors, Their inventory data is always wrong, they will never give you credit if they lose your inventory and worst of all they make it almost impossible to leave. In order to terminate a relationship with them you need to hire them to pick and pack all your goods. They make this experience take a very very very long time and during the process they charge you minimum fees, storage fees and also make other billing errors. If you don't overpay based on their billing errors they stop the work to get your goods out. I've been trying to get my inventory back from them for over 6 months, and they are making it next to impossible. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CROOKED COMPANY!

We transitioned to Shipmonk after Flexport was unable to accommodate our fulfillment needs. Nikki and her team are responsive and on point, thank you for providing the warehouse experience we've been looking for!

Very responsive and helpful Customer service, Specially good experience with Anthony!

Shipmonk has been a wonderful partner in growing and scaling our business. Their customer support is extremely responsive and will go to great ends to make sure that your product is well taken care of and your questions or issues are resolved in as quick a timeline as possible.

We switched to ShipMonk after a disasterous year with another fulfillment center. ShipMonk is accurate and speedy, and incredibly responsive to all my requests and needs. They cost more for sure, but it's totally worth it to have our orders processed correctly. We are looking forward to growing our business further now that order fulfillment is going so smoothly.

Our collaboration with Shipmonk's warehouse has been absolutely outstanding. Order fulfillment is seamless, with remarkable effectiveness and efficiency, complemented by exceptional customer service. Special thanks to our Happiness Engineer, Sarah, who supports us in all aspects and provides the best top-notch customer experience!

No problem with the App, but awful, awful customer service. Stay far away.

The service while using the app was ok. They're a little expensive, and a bit slow. But mostly good enough.

When we decided to stop the service, they were a disaster. First they failed to get our inventory ready in time for pickup, then they continued to charge us after we closed our account.

If our customer service experience so far is any indication, we'll end up needing to take them to small claims court in order to recover our money.

My advice, if you must use ShipMonk, is to use a credit card that offers a "virtual card" feature, so that you can prevent them from billing your after you close your account. I have such a feature, but sadly didn't use it.

Better, though, is to avoid them altogether. There are other 3PL companies that don't have these issues.

Accurate, efficient 3PL with a quick-to-respond customer service team. There are more than a few "hidden fees" in your contract so read carefully but in the end it's worth it for knowing your product is being managed well. While the customer service team always answers quickly and kindly, special projects sometimes take a few weeks - so budget time accordingly.

Shipmonk has been an amazing 1 stop shop for all my shipping and fulfillment needs. The most daunting task was the setup but David Lowthorp is their Onboarding Specialist and he made everything very easy and efficient. He also answered every question with a quick and timely response. I definitely recommend ShipMonk!
