ShipMonk | Order Fulfillment

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.

I have been onboarding with ShipMonk which is a complicated and difficult process in the best of circumstances. The ship monk app is easy to use and comprehensive. The onboarding support team goes the extra mile to ensure everything works the way it needs to. Highly recommend so far.

I have been with Shipmonk for 2 years now. We are now working with a WONDERFUL happiness engineer, Ron T. He makes great efforts to understand the nuances of our brand. He is very communicative, polished and professional. It is really impressive to partner with someone like Ron, that also has the energy and knowledge to DRIVE our business. We are grateful for this partnership and to be assigned Ron T.

AN UPDATE WITH ANOTHER HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE:

i had to ship a wholesale order that weighs 60 lbs via USPS which normally would cost around $90 via USPS (nonnegotiated rates) , they charged me $527!!!
and the insane part is that since it was a wholesale order, the cost of shipping was TBD until the package was picked up by USPS which is too late. i call to let them know to intercept the package as i did not get a chance to approve this and the order i was shipping is not worth more than $250 in its entirety!!! but NO help.

this is an update to my previous onboarding experience which was another fail, the app works fine even though it overcharges but the minute you have an issue - they OVERBILL or just abandon you.

previous review: Horrible onboarding with so many details on their support pages and almost no syncing with shopify system - had to enter everything manually (they would have the SKU as the product name, the weight in ounces put in lbs), and then the receiving of products is miserable (they again overweigh products & overcharge on shipping and you cannot even edit to the right weight - an 8oz bottle could be weighed as 1 lb! Or even more! ) i regret sending them a whole stock, i should have started with a few items The team talks nicely and try to help but it feels like they are overwhelmed with their system and work flow themselves so the help they end up giving is subpar. in the end of the day, if i am outsourcing my shipping, you need to be a well oiled machine and a cheap alternative to in-house but they are anything but! Also our first big delivery with them was a big big big fail, we were overcharged with UPS because of their weight "errors"above - they split up 1 big order to 8 orders which were not packed professionally, they did a miserable job with taping up boxes and putting heavy items in a no-bubble plastic envelopes like true beginners and arrived to my client all destroyed.

We've worked with many fulfillment partners over the years. Shipmonk is one of the best platforms we've used and it is constantly improving. Their support is also one of the best we've experienced. Recent expansion has put a slight strain on their team, as we've cycled through several "Happiness Engineers" in the past year, but they do their best and response time remains quite fast. Their MonkProtect service has been a real game changer for us, allowing us to handle shipping and fulfillment claims with basically no friction: it's a win for our customers and for us.

Honestly the transition to a 3PL was not easy nor quick. However since we found Shipmonk we felt confident Shipmonk could take us to the next level as far as of fulfillment and storage.

Our Happiness Engineer is amazing, she's trustworthy, she assist us with any issues that may arise. I'm happy to say the communication we have developed is hard to find.

In the beginning we would meet weekly until we got the hang of things, then monthly to now only if needed.

Their SOPs are within regular expectations, nothing crazy or out of this world.

I would definitely recommend using their services, I do recommend to do some research and ask as many questions, so there are no unmet expectations or surprises.

Totally Happy with Shipmonk and its services. I particularly want to express our gratitude to happiness engineer 'Austin Yocum 'for diligently following up on given task and for all the excellent assistance provided throughout given process.

Dear Tegra, Drew, and Daisi,

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your assistance with our company's order. Adding the additional information to the shipping label required prompt action due to the order's status, and I truly appreciate your swift responses.

I was very relieved to hear the information was added before the shipping label was finalized. Because of your quick and efficient work, this will allow for the package to be delivered as smoothly as possible.

Thank you again for your excellent service.

I've had a really great experience with Shipmonk. We're no longer using them because we have our own warehouse now, but I truly had no complaints. Special shout out to Anthony B who was exceptionally helpful as we were closing the account.

Can't say enough good things ... top-tier performance, able to flex volumes, responsive and supportive of our business as we grow. We couldn't ask for better fulfillment partners
