I never write reviews, but I had to this time. This is undoubtedly the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced regardless of industry/setting. I reached out to Fulfillrite three times over the course of a couple weeks. The "customer service" employees at Fufillrite that I interacted with were Drake and Joe.
I am an ecommerce entrepreneur trying to scale my business with Shopify and it's apps/partners (Fulfillrite being one of them). Currently, I'm shipping my products out of my garage, but the demand has outgrown what my team and I can do so we're in the market for a reliable fulfillment center. Using Shopify, I saw that Fulfillrite had good reviews, so I reached out to them.
I answered all of Fulfillrites questions (including do you ship over 40 units a month) and they (Drake) never got back to me which is incredibly frustrating especially when you're trying to run a business and don't have time to follow up with companies you want to work with/give money to? I followed up and got a response saying "we only work with customers that ship at least 40 units a month". This was funny as I previously clearly advised I ship more than 40 units a month and the reason I was reaching out was to help scale my business.
At this point, Joe took over. Joe and I emailed and he was going to call me to address my questions. Unsurprisingly, I never got a call. Because of this, I emailed the main email address (info@fulfillrite.com) asking for a call and help as I've been ignored again. Later that day, I got a call from Joe finally.
I've been in customer service roles before and tone is obviously a huge part of providing great customer service. My brief call with Joe lasted less than a minute as it was incredibly obvious he didn't want to be on the phone with me/give a shit about helping me. It felt like he as doing me a favor being on the line with him. Because of this and everything prior, I will never use Fulfillrite and I will use Fulfillrite as an example to my employees and other ecommerce entrepreneurs of what terrible customer service looks like.
Fulfillrite - you just lost a rapidly growing potential customer. Instead, you added an ecommerce entrepreneur who had a horrible customer service experience and will tell everyone they know about it. read more
