LVK Logistics

DO NOT SHIP WITH SHIPHERO ' LVK if you need customers to be able to return an order, and I would say most business need this ability. Our experience has been shocking from a 'professional and business' perspective. Just as Christmas shopping started they shut down return lables (at the end of Oct) with NO notifcation to their customers. Our team was making the requests as normal with no reply for weeks and only when we hit the roof did we finally have someone tell us they will no longer offer returns. We had NO time to pivot at all. They have NO solution for return to sender packages - we ship out $300 - $1500 orders and if they need to be rts they literally go to some random place in Blaine WA where they disappear. We have $1000.00 of packages that the staff has just kept and never reshipped to the LVK warehouse they originated from or back to the customer and LVK has been 'working on it' for over a year. They won't help change delivery address' when an error has been made but ship so the customer can't make changes themselves. They charge high prices for signature but then don't get them. We even were set to start shipping from another warehouse at the start of Jan for a new line and they told us last minute they don't have space BUT when I sent an email under another business name they told me they had space and set up could be done in days. I have set up a new warehouse with a smaller family run shipping company and we will stop using this shipper the moment we are sold out of items. They really don't care about your customers or you. Our experience has been with Soledad - be leary of these glowing reviews - they all look suspicious

Charged $1,000 for a 'tech' fee even though we weren't using the service. And not willing to refund it

We've worked with ShipHero for over 2 years and had a great experience for the first 1-1.5 years. Over the past 6 months things have gone downhill FAST. Reading the other recent reviews, it's clear we are not the only ones having these issues. Impossible to reach support (no more chat feature or phone number), orders taking weeks to ship out, losing our inventory (currently almost 1,000 units of our inventory is unaccounted for and they have no idea where it is, it has been over a month since this issue started and still no resolution), using bizarre unknown shipping carriers, our "account manager" never responds to emails, and so much more. We're a small company and they've forced us to split our inventory into 4 different locations due to "load balancing" which is causing tons of split shipments and delays, it doesn't make any sense for a company of our size to be split into this many warehouses. Also potential damage/loss due to our inventory being in transit much more than necessary. Most recently we needed a special project performed, their special project coordinator confirmed they could do it in early November and said they started working on it, then over 6 weeks later told us they can't do it and are refusing to do it. We offered to hire someone to go in and do it, but they said the only option is to ship it out to a third party, then ship it back. Which is not realistic as there is no third party who can do this besides another fulfillment company. This is something we need done in order to continue doing business, so we're now being forced to look at other fulfillment options (so far we've found 5 that are all willing to do the project for us). Shiphero does not care and clearly does not value us as a long term client whatsoever. It's just super unfortunate since everything was so smooth for that first year and now it's destroying our business. We're getting countless customer complaints daily due to the shipping delays and split shipments, and it's been extremely damaging to our business. Stay FAR AWAY if you are a small business looking for a reliable fulfillment partner.

Close to the worst out there. If you ship anything larger than a cubic foot, you are charged Dimensional Weight BUT ShipHero won't tell you what that cost is until after the items ships! There's no easy way to bill that cost to the customer, so customer-paid rates are unusable. There is no real time shipping calculator at checkout and ShipHero only provides you a rate table for non-dimensional rate (don't fall for their zone pricing pitch! it's not Dimensional Weight!), so you have no idea of the costs until after an order ships. We asked for DIM pricing and the box sizes that SH uses and were told to download our historical purchases to figure out the box sizes and pricing ourselves! Oof. That's like saying "work with us and we won't tell you how much we cost until we bill your credit card! Surprise!" Zero effort to help us know what we have to pay. Hardly a transparent partner working to keep our business. Oh, and no account manager, no phone number to call, takes days/weeks on getting service ticket responses, and orders that are SLA'd to be fulfilled in 3 days are taking 3 weeks to be fulfilled.

Until they get things fixed, avoid unless you want your business to be crippled. ShipHero used to be amazing, but as of the past two months, are extremely understaffed and not delivering on their service level agreement. Their support has been lacking tremendously lately, taking anywhere from 4 days - nearly 2 weeks to respond to inquiries. I have run out of stock because their receiving timelines are now 10+ days. If a customer has an order issue and I need to reach out to support for assistance, I now have to tell the customer I will investigate and get back to them in around a week with an update. I have orders which are not meeting the SLA deadline, and shipping out weeks delayed. I have boxes of 100 units which are missing, and after a month of investigating, still no updates on the status. This is just a fraction of the issues I am currently having. Belen has been wonderful in the past and has offered to look into these inquiries, however, nothing has changed and it has been nearly two months of poor service. Their lack of service is literally destroying my business.

Hired ShipHero to help with pre-orders. It takes a lot to get me to the point of writing a bad review, but...wow. They've been having "some delays at the warehouse" and my orders have not been shipped out in over two weeks. In addition to that they don't have a live support system, so every thing you ask them has to go through a ticket system which if they respond at all takes about 48 hours on average to receive a response and it involves no resolution but rather "we'll look into this and get back to you." I asked to have my inventory back and they told me they have sent it to different warehouses across the country and it will take up to 30 days to get it back to me! It is September 20th to day and I still have customers that are waiting for their order since AUGUST 26th. On top of that, while holding my inventory hostage they are charging me "storage fees." They also, without my agreement, sent my inventory to different locations so if an order contained something they have in PA and something they have in LV, they sent it from two different locations and charged me twice for the same order that would have cost 1/2 the amount. The staff is incompetent, disorganized, unresponsive, and I have no idea how in the world this company is operating at all. The worst experience I have ever had working with a service based company. Stay far, far away.

What its like working with ShipHero. -> Imagine being stress out about shipping tons of orders everyday > hiring an employee for help -> their rates are low, onboarding is easy -> sales agent are somewhat nice -> you sign up. As soon as they start shipping orders -> everything changes -> now the only contact you have with someone at the company is via email and also they live in South America -> absolutely nothing ships out on time -> and they literally do the opposite of everything single thing you tell them to do -> your customers start to notice the drastic change -> your business is impacted in a negative way ->and you almost lose everything that you've worked so hard to build -> that's what it's like working with ShipHero. Reasons Why NOT to hire ShipHero: Reason #1 Black Friday orders shipped out 4 weeks after orders were placed. Basically, Black Friday orders didn't ship until the day before Christmas. Reason #2 You don't have a dedicated account rep if something goes wrong. There's no one you can directly speak with. Only customer service reps who are stationed in South America and don't have feet on the ground at the actual warehouse. Reason #3 You are solely responsible for lost items, items not delivered, items stolen, items that get lost in transit leaving SH, when SH makes errors in shipping, no scans ect. If your item ships - and it it not delivered to your customer - YOU have to pay this - there is no filling a claim or SH reimbursing you. Reason #5 SH makes it basically impossible to remove your inventory from their warehouses. Mostly due their policy of, "load balancing". Basically, SH forces your inventory to be shipped to several other warehouse. This could potential increase the chances for lost inventory and it can also cause delays in shipping. You have NO option to opt. out of this. Also, they don't mention this in the initial onboarding call. How Load balancing negatively effects your brand/ business: So, basically SH forces you to allocated your inventory to multiple warehouse all over the US which forces them to ship orders from different warehouses. Its all good until SH takes it upon themselves to, "SPLIT SHIP" your orders. Meaning customers will place 1 order, but receive 5 different shipments from the warehouse at different times through out the month - which leave a very confusing shopping experience for the customer. Some customers feel like they are being scammed, some feel like you forgot to ship the rest of their order. SH takes it upon themselves to make this decision for your brand - you don't realize that it's happening until tons of customers are emailing you their concerns. If you refuse to load balance and only keep your inventory at 1 warehouse location - they will up charge you 5% per order. Reason #7 It's impossible to remove inventory once they've shipped all your inventory all over the US. I've been trying to remove my inventory from SH for about 1 month now, and I'm constantly going back and forth with CS reps and getting no where. Today is March 1st, and SH has yet to release my inventory. Inventory Update: After 3 weeks of going back and forth with CS via email ( literally like 100 emails ) - SH has informed me the that have in fact mistakenly thrown part of my inventory in their dumpster, smh - I can't make this stuff up. So anyways, above is a small preview of what to expect when you hire ShipHero.

UPDATED REVIEW: Invalid Tracking Numbers that negatively impacted my Amazon account, Late Shipments, and Overcharges They should be called BugHero as their system is always making some mistakes due to some bug. I first rated ShipHero 5-stars due to their outstanding customer support. But after 3-4 months of using them unfortunately I have to update this review. Their system is incredibly buggy. They ship with DHL Ecommerce which is a very incompetent carrier that not only ships incredibly slow but also generates invalid tracking numbers. Then ShipHero updated these invalid tracking numbers to my Amazon account and I got slapped a few times by Amazon with notifications of high invalid tracking rates and this put my account at risk. I then deactivated my ShipHero/Amazon connection and did it all manually. This is a very cumbersome process with ShipHero as they have no option to do it in their app. You have to download a csv file, fill it and upload it. After more than one month since I signaled this, they still haven't resolved the issue. In fact it's worse. They provided invalid tracking numbers for 5 orders and now they barely answer. I keep asking them to provide me the correct tracking numbers and they just won't answer me and when they do, they tell me to hold as they are dealing with multiple clients, even though I contacted them a day before. My orders are now past the allowed processing time on Amazon, so again I will be slapped by Amazon for late shipments. One other big issue with ShipHero is the overcharges. I found multiple overcharges and have sent them a list more than 2 months ago. They said that their warehouse team will look into it and get back to me. Nobody reached back. And when they do refund you an overcharge, they don't have any way to track it. They'll just say that they'll refund you on your next invoice, but when I asked about a way to track these refunds, whether on the invoice or somehow else, they just said that there's no way to track them. So I'll just have to take their word for it. Another big con, is that they are very expensive. I have one item that costs me $7.9 to ship with Amazon and almost $18 with ShipHero The only good thing about them is the Customer Support and that's only during the offpeak season.

This was my original review when we started with ShipHero: This app is actually just an integration with an AMAZING order fulfillment company. We did a lot of research looking for a 3rd party shipping partner and landed on ShipHero. We couldn't be any happier. Their shipping management software is incredible, their pricing is super affordable and their support team is out of this world. Definitely give them a try. Here is my updated review after we decided to leave and do our own fulfillment: As you will see in many recent reviews, mid 2022 something happened and things really started to go wrong at ShipHero. They started losing products, it would take weeks before they would receive a shipment of products from our vendors and make them available for fulfillment. Orders would not ship for days after being labeled as ready in their app. The support is absolutely pitiful and in many cases there is simply no resolution. I highly recommend to stay way from this option if you can do your own fulfillment (Shopify makes this so easy) or look for a different 3rd party option.

I reached out to ShipHero prior to installing to ask a few questions. Never got any responses. I then tried to install the app and speak with them. Never got any responses. I uninstalled the app and now trying to delete my account after a week of uninstalling, seems impossible. This is the worst app and customer service.
