Everything. They are a disingenuous (at best), incompetent company. Really, just avoid them.

They overcharge on nearly every package Their customer support takes 48+ hours to respond sometimes "We'll be refunding you the $2k+ overcharge" but still haven't seen a dime SLAs reset randomly without an explanation

ShipBob Is a tech company NOT a shipping company. They don't care about your products or your store. They care about filling shelves of 3rd party warehouses...Read more
