What do you dislike about ShipBob?
I own a midsized business with roughly $5 million a year in revenue from physical products that we ship to customers.
My experience with ShipBob has been nothing short of a disaster. The sales process was high touch, with constant communication and promises of superior service that turned out to be nothing more than a bait and switch tactic. Once we signed on the dotted line, our salesperson vanished into thin air. Unless you're spending millions of dollars with ShipBob annually, don't expect any attention or assistance from them.
We've encountered numerous issues during our two-year relationship with ShipBob. One consistent problem has been getting our products delivered to their warehouse. Despite having made appointments, our shipments have been repeatedly rejected, resulting in out-of-stock situations and delays in fulfilling orders.
There have also been instances of products being damaged, destroyed, or lost altogether. This has led to customer dissatisfaction and significant financial losses for us. The lack of responsibility on ShipBob's part for these mishaps is alarming.
The company's payment system is another point of contention. There have been times when all our shipments were halted due to glitches in the system that acted as if no payment method was on file, even though we had multiple methods on file and were charged daily by ShipBob.
Perhaps the most infuriating aspect of dealing with ShipBob is their blatant disregard for their customers. We've had situations where our orders were on hold for weeks because we couldn't get our products into their warehouses and onto the shelves. Seeking help from ShipBob in these circumstances was like shouting into a void. All we received were automated email responses promising escalation that never materialized, and none of the responders had the authority to solve our problems.
In summary, working with ShipBob has been an exercise in frustration and disappointment. Their lack of customer care and the myriad of issues we've encountered have caused serious disruptions to our business. I would caution anyone considering their services to think twice before signing up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
