Syron Golf review for ShipBob Fulfillment

Oct. 18, 2023

They lost my inventory! ShipBob is terrible and I will be moving to another 3PL provider ASAP. I was hesitant what with the negative reviews here and on TrustPilot, but the sales team and onboarding process gave me confidence. Boy was I wrong and should've gone with my first instinct to avoid them like the plague. On a single receiving order they managed to create chaos and have nearly destroyed my business. Some of the specific issues that are still not resolved. 1. On receiving an order they incorrectly weighed items so the weight in the system was 5x the actual weight, there is no way to change this data. We use CartBob (another Shopify app) for dynamic shipping rates and the impact of this is that customers were overcharged 2-3x for shipping. Many potential customers rightly dropped off and frequent customers complained that we were ripping them off on shipping (fair point). I raised the issue 6 days ago, was assured the items would be rescanned 5 days ago and still nothing has been fixed. They also had the audacity to say they were going to charge me for the time of rescanning the affected products, despite it clearly being their fault. 2. 360 units of SKUs were deleted from their system in error. The stock is sitting there as I can see the history, but the system is saying it's 0. I raised with support and after 3 days they have not resolved the issue. They just so happened to be the highest selling SKUs and so the marketing dollars spent on driving traffic is wasted. I can accept that issues happen, but the most important thing is taking responsibility and correcting them in a timeframe that minimises the damage to their customers business. When things go well, it works well, however if there is any issue they are impossible to reach and the response time is disgraceful. The support team are incredibly slow and operate with an arrogance, disdain and severe lack of empathy for the customers. ---UPDATE--- After 7 days they have told me that they can't find the 360 items of inventory, despite there being a visible audit history in the system of the inventory being received on their end. What's particularly interesting is all inventory changes are tied to a specific users full name, but in the case of deleting the inventory it was tied to a shared user name ("Junior 2") so the actual person responsible is not identifiable. This gives an insight into how their internal operations work. A 3PL that loses that amount of inventory cannot and should not be trusted. I have a simple business, only 26 SKUs, everything lightweight and nothing bulky. They are amateurs and completely negligent. Do not trust them with your business.
