Shopify Fulfillment Network

Still just trying to get my inventory there. Was told it will take 11 days to get it checked in once it gets to CA and I live in AZ. I literally could have dropped it off myself and drove back. Then I was told it could take another 10-18 business days to get it to the other warehouses across the US. So we are looking at 30 days to get it ready to ship to customers. So there are 30 days where customers are going elsewhere. Then when they did receive the order they forced the inventory to come from there warehouse but at the time they only had 11 available and I was getting emails from customers saying that it gives them the message "We do not ship to this location. Please select another location for delivery". hahaha WHAT?!?!?!?
SFN seems promising and I am really excited about it but feel like Shopify hasn't really got their bearings around the whole logistics thing yet. I am hopeful because everything else with Shopify has been amazing!

Use them at your own risk. I am still battling with them to use the inventory that I sent in. They don't seem to have the fulfillment process together at all it takes 2 days for a response from them. Also, the representative told me they would not give me my inventory back when I asked multiple times. Then I told the representative I would take legal action she told me that's up to you.

The sad part is I believe in Shopify as a company and invested in them, however, the fulfillment side is horrible and almost fraudulent. I asked for simple requests for my inventory to be moved and it takes a battle just to get this done. I just want to sell my inventory and move on from them.

We've been using SFN for about a month now and wow... what a nightmare! The other negative reviews were pretty much spot on. At this point we've had multiple issues with missing inventory and there is no way to hold them accountable. Communication between your store and the warehouse is non-existent. You basically have to submit a support ticket which is ultimately Shopify customer service who then reach out to the warehouse so it could be days before you get a response and it is very unlikely to resolve the matter when someone does respond. Once they receive an inbound transfer it takes weeks for them to make it available for purchase. They'll accept an order then decline fulfillment on it without providing a reason. If you get a split order between your location and SFN it will double charge the customer for shipping. Seriously, the list goes on here. Thus far working with SFN has only hurt our business and taken up more of our time than if we just continued fulfillment in-house. We were really excited about the potential of utilizing Shopify Fulfillment Network but honestly, if this service was free we still couldn't recommend it.
