Hidden charges. Crazy stuff.
Unfortunately, what you have read in other reviews regarding hidden charges is totally true. They charge your card daily, so you must review each invoice and check each shipment to verify the amount. Here are a couple of examples. We have been charged $8 (no dim weight) and $28.35 (DIM weight) for the same product, same weight, and same packaging on separate orders. Same shipping method too. On another order, we have been charged $22.82 for a Dim weight of 4.84lb. Their advertised price sheet shows $13.87 for that weight. On another order, we have been charged twice for the same order (as if it was shipped twice). We have found a lot of instances where the shipping charges make no sense or are considerably higher than the advertised price sheet. Furthermore, they got a faulty scale which had been billing us way over the price for certain shipments for over six months. We had to find out ourselves by checking invoices. They have been investigating this for over a month and will "credit" us back any extra charges. This is not worth it. A 3PL is an extension of your business, a partner. You shouldn't need to go through thousands of orders to verify you haven't been charged more than you should. This is extremely dodgy and dishonest of them. These guys have no shipping zones and advertise good rates, but the truth is different. Be ready to spend hours checking your daily invoices and have long back-and-forth emails with support (they turned off the live chat, yay). Our revenue has decreased, and I truly believe these inflated shipping costs are related. These invoices they charge you daily without verification or control will cost you a penny. We have a call to discuss all these issues tomorrow, but we are already searching for a new 3PL partner. This is not transparency. It is robbery. An innocent mistake does not happen consistently, month after month. Stay away and find another option. The funny thing is they will probably ask us for a kidney to move our inventory elsewhere just to stop being robbed. UPDATE (07/27/22) - I wanted to add that they also fail to ship orders timely, and it is pretty hard to get support since they removed live chat a while ago. They are so late shipping many Etsy orders (up to 12 days late! My store is being penalized), and I have been trying to get someone to solve this since three days ago to no avail. If you value your business, go somewhere else. UPDATE 2 (07/14/2023) - They decided to dispute this review a year after when the problem was real (they even replied to it some time ago). Service is not any better, with frequent wrong charges and late shipments now and then. Zero coverage for parcels (an order for a custom from FL was delivered to another state, and they told me to open a claim with USPS, go figure). Also, they decided to implement a $500 fee to all merchants paying under $100k a month (I'm sure 99%) to "pay for the tech they need" to improve their services. Can you believe that? It is outrageous. Out of the blue, a $500 charge for "tech."
