Dont walk. Run! The worst experience and business decision ever. Sales guy sold us but the follow-up execution was beyond terrible. I couldnt believe the way our products were packed. The organizer of the event that we were sponsoring was pissed. The package was delayed more than two weeks, too late for the event. And when it was rerouted back to us, I couldnt believe the state it was in. All the liquids in the bottles leaked. Their workers just put 50 loose bottles full of liquid into a big plastic bag and threw them into a big box with no padding or protection! An 8-year-old would have done a better job packing it. And they charge us so much with many hidden fees. At the end, we cut our losses and ran.

They overcharged me by several thousands of dollars per month with hidden fees.Ryan from Shipmonk asked me to take down my negative review before giving me my balance back.Shady on many different levels. They were sued in 2021 by Depeuter Packaging Solutions for their dishonest fees. They still sneak them in til this dayWhen I left Shipmonk, they poorly packaged my goods. They arrived damaged to new logistics partner.They also overcharged for packing up my stuff and shipping it. Around $10,000 just to pack and ship a few hundred shoes

Whatever you do, dont do business with this company. They were in charge of our fulfillment, and it was a NIGHTMARE. Initially things were okay, but then they stopped answering emails and calls. Some emails took as far as 1 month to get an answer from. The billing is confusing and complicated, charges pile up so quickly without much explanation. They look inventory, and it took 4 months to get compensated for it; someone just stopped answering my emails. I was charged for some tasks they were supposed to be doing, but they never did them. I was not refunded for it. I had really high hopes when I switched to them, read the other reviews and youll see that it was the same situation with a lot of companies.

I have been working with Shipmonk for a little over 18 months now and super happy with the support and processes given the growth we have seen. The customer success team flows with highly talented personnel with strong backgrounds and stronger professional practices. Their performance is top notch and ethics in the business are high! Highly recommend them if you plan to take your company to the moon...

It was the WORST business decision we ever made. We removed all of our inventory only 3 months after integrating with them. It cost us a lot of time and money but it was the right move to unplug with them! We found another smaller fulfillment center and we are very happy with them. Find below my experience with them. The nightmare started almost immediately. I’m going to enumerate them in bullet points because there were so many.1. they were taking almost one week to ship orders when we were told they would ship them in 48hours. They blame it on being under staffed and not being able to hire people in their area. How is that our problem?2. They use the worst carriers. These people do not have USPS coming directly to their warehouse to pick up orders. With 5 years experience in shipping and e commerce, USPS is the most reliable carrier (yes I know lol) and the most affordable (especially if your orders are under 1lbs using first class mail.) When choosing your shipping options with shipmonk, you will be offered their “standard shipping option” to ship your items to your customers. It seems like the most affordable options. However they use the worst carriers. They use DHL to pick up the orders from their warehouse and bring it to the destination USPS post office of your customers. Then USPS is the one delivering the package for the “last mile”. This change of carrier in the delivery chains create many issues. Many times DHL will not deliver to usps and Mark it as delivered. Bottom line, their shipping method sucks and you will get so many packages lost you will have to ship again to your customers.2. So many mispicks: these guys constantly shipped the wrong items to our customers. Sometimes they would send them products that are not even ours. From baby products to car equipments. The worst part is that they would sometimes send 10Items of ours when the customer ordered only one! Can you imagine. Buy 1 get 10 free. I can’t tell you how much money we lost with that alone3. They lose your inventory. For me that was the worst issue. We have expensive high end products, so each unit lost cost us a lot of money to replace. They lost for about 4k worth of inventory by misplacing our products in their warehouse. “Because people were not following protocol” like they were saying, our merchandise was being shipped to other people (form other companies) without us realizing it until our products would be out of stock even if we barely had any sales on some of them. This combined to the fact that they will send multiple items to customers when they ordered only one was the breaking point for me.4. At this point, any other things is just a detail but worth mentioning. They would always use the wrong packaging. We were paying for bubble mailers or boxes and they will send our fragile merchandise in polymailers (the cheapest option). Our products would arrive completely destroyed. For example we sell expensive hats. They need to be in box so they don’t arrive all busted! Well that was not the case. We were receiving so many negative reviews because people received their hats destroyed. They were also constantly losing our marketing inserts. When they did, these would put all of our orders in back orders. Oh man I have many many other things to say but hopefully that’s enough for you to never ever go with these people! There are many fulfillment center options and it’s not easy to find a good one because most of them are terribly managed. I either recommend to build your own fulfillment solutions (rent a space and higher somebody to ship your orders, it will not be more expensive than shipmonk if you have 500-1k orders) or look for a small, family operated fulfillment center that will give you the attention you deserve. Shipmonk is the worst worst business decision I ever made. Stay away please!

By far the worse company ever!! Please do not do business with them unless you like losing money. They will never take responsibility, over charge you and shift blame every chance they get. Ive lost major account/sales cause ive done business based on their empty promises.Update- They just responded to the review to try and save face publicly (a year after I posted it). This company is terrible

Terrible customer service and stupid high shipping, fulfillment fees and hidden costs.Shipmonk has stupid high shipping. I have products that cost up to $100 to ship and they split it into two shipments AND charge the fulfillment fee for each. Which ends up being an additional $9. You will be paying the fulfillment fee monthly whether you ship the items or not. These fees are the same price as the storage fees so storage is double the price they say it is. Another thing about storage is that the allowable height of a pallet is on the lower side meaning they charge more than you can find elsewhere per pallet.When I started with them, they would reply to my emails and tickets within 24 hrs and now it takes them 4+ days. Many of the questions I ask them are for customers of mine (sometimes shipping delays and even not receiving). And then I often end up just giving my customers their money back While I wait for Shipmonks reply.I found a company that has cheaper storage (larger pallets for same monthly fee) plus they dont charge the additional fulfillment fees AND they dont have a minimum monthly order. (The storage is literally half the price)And a HUGE advantage of this new company is the amazingly lower shipping cost. This $100 Shipping cost plus $9 fulfillment fees through Shipmonk is now only costing me a total of $30 with this new company - that includes fulfillment! (Went from $109 to $30)I unfortunately still have products in their warehouse and being charged a stupid amount. I have paid this other fulfillment company to pick them up. I will still need to pay Shipmonk a large amount on top of that for this other company to pick them up.Do not go with Shipmonk!!!

So I am expecting a shipment. I order a LOT of things online. We are a large household and have quite a few things constantly in transit. If you are a company that uses it is thinking of using this company to ship, you may want to find another one. I have something they were supposed to ship out on 8/31. But I am not sure what it is. I have a tracking number. UPS says it hasn’t shipped out. I called them and they said “we’ll likely it’s the carrier not updating the tracking”. But it seems more likely the package didn’t get sent and is sitting in fulfillment. They can’t tell what the order was or from what vendor. I have to figure what I didn’t get and send them an order number. How is this my problem?? They are the shippers. I have a tracking number, I feel it is THEIR responsibility to figure it out! While the people I spoke to were nice, I don’t understand how they can’t find my package or even tell what it was? Do they just Willy Nilly send items out? Complete sham.

I was told my first day that I would be starting a picking position, but my first day of orientation they sent me to a different department. I did not know we get sent to certain departments. I was so excited to start my first day
