Whiplash is awesome. It's easy to use, and I've had no problems. I really get the feeling that the staff there set up the business with sincerity and they seem to know exactly what a small business like me needs. Use them- it will free you up to do other things- like get more sales, develop products, take a vacation, etc. The interface is incredibly easy to use. I have a link to their URL, and I can see at a glance what inventory I have left, which orders are pending, etc. But I never really have to check because they always take care of everything. I must admit that while I like to emphasize a positive experience in a review- I'd like to save anybody who is reading this review from using Shipwire. Myself and many others refugees have had the terrible experience of using them, and at this point I'm blown away at how much better my experience is. Wow. Had to include that. Thanks for reading and happy fulfillment!

They've been handling my fulfillment for a few years now and I have never had a problem. Great customer service and great team in general!
Working with Whiplash has been a great experience. The Whiplash back-end has all the technology in place that you need. An intelligent interface, full access to all your data, etc. But to me, the best part of my Whiplash experience so far has been their customer support. In my experiences in the Shopify app world, support is key for making your apps work for you and do the work that you need done. I had tons of up-front questions and the Whiplash support reps have been exceptional. Available and knowledgeable. Exactly what you want when you have that burning question. Highly recommended!!
Talking to other fulfillment services felt like talking to a car salesman and a high school teacher. Features were pushed to us whether we wanted them or not and it felt like we had homework to do before we could use their services. Whiplash is fulfillment done right. The interface is uncluttered and intuitive. It has everything we need, nothing more and nothing less. And customer service is like talking to a buddy that cares.
Steer very, very clear of this fulfillment service. I used them for two weeks, and they've already cost me countless revenue in broken products and lost customers. I started using Whiplash right before a sale. The sale was a huge success, and I sold out of almost everything. Then I noticed that there were about 25 open orders in Shopify that weren't imported into Whiplash. These orders were sprinkled randomly throughout the sale, and there seemed to be no rhyme or reason to them. Turns out, because Whiplash controls inventory (they track it and push it live to Shopify) and Whiplash didn't sync those 25 orders correctly, I oversold product by quite a bit and had to then go to my customers and let them know they'd bought a product I said was in stock but was actually sold out. As if that wasn't bad enough, shortly after the sale, I started getting emails from customers with pictures of their packages. I sell skincare products, so they are mostly small, delicate bottles - these photos were of large cardboard boxes with the products, a packing slip, and literally nothing else. No padding, no peanuts, nothing. I of course immediately took these concerns to their customer service. They didn't respond to my concerns for a full day, at which point I decided to cut my losses and let them know I'd be leaving Whiplash. What followed was the most bizarre customer service experience I've ever had. The customer service manager told me that I had changed the settings in Shopify and that's why the orders didn't sync (first of all, I didn't change any settings, but even if I had, it wouldn't account for this specific issue). She said my customers were lying when they sent me photos of their boxes (oh, wait, she was sure to clarify that she wasn't calling them liars, just that Whiplash would never have packed a box like that so they must have forged the photos, which is different than calling them liars, somehow). She refused to even cover shipping to get what little product I had left back from the warehouse. I'm a small, new business, and I can't take too many setbacks like that. It was a very expensive lesson in making sure I research and vet any potential business partners. Learn from my mistake and stay as far away from this company as you can.
Bad experience with Whiplash. Expect some bad attitude and rude manners. They have a nice and friendly Marketing but I can't say the same from their people.
Whiplash has been very helpful in getting my products to my customers. They have not yet missed an order to any of my customers. I had quite a few questions when getting set up and James, the CEO was very helpful and answered my questions directly. I think my company challenged them a bit with far larger than normal packages and worldwide shipping destinations but with a little tweaking and support they have adapted and everything is working automatically now. My company is located in Canada and shipping out of the USA saves my customers money. If you don't want to do your own shipping then I'd recommend using whiplash!
We are loving Whiplash and are very satisfied and impressed with the service and the experience overall. Our account rep, Heather McCormick has been insanely awesome and an amazing resource and aid for us, I wanted to recognize her personally and let you know that she has done an outstanding job helping us get set up and run smoothly. Her quick consistency in response and in-depth ability to help in so many different ways has harbored and amazing experience for us overall. A+ to both!
Working with Whiplash has been easy, I use their warehouses in USA and UK. When I've needed their help, their customer service team have been responsive (by email and messaging). Often when I've needed help it's been to get a report which I've later learned is available on the web-portal. Before working with Whiplash I had terrible experiences with 2 other fulfillment services, I've been with them for over a year now, I'd choose them again.
Whiplash is amazing. They have transformed our business, and I can't thank them enough. Their customer support is very quick to reply, and they are just great at what they do. It was a little scary at first when we decided to ship our inventory to another company that we did not know much about. But I am so glad we did. The admin pages can be a little confusing sometimes, especially when you first start working with them, but like I said, their customer support is excellent and ready to answer any questions that you may have. If you are not currently using whiplash to manage your inventory and handle shipping your orders, then you are missing out on a top notch service that is dedicated to helping you succeed. Thank you so much Whiplash. We are big fans.
We worked with Whiplash for years, and the service was great to start but since their acquisition by Port Logistics, the service level has been declining. We moved to a new 3PL and the exit process has drawn on for months, with hidden charges and additional fees being charged because they cannot get our inventory shipped to us in a timely manner. They are also one of the more expensive 3PLs out there. If you need a 3PL, I would encourage you to look else where. Many other better options out there.
We have been working with James and the team from whiplash for many months and are continuously impressed with their hands on approach. The are partners in the truest sense of the word and treat our customers as their own and its feels great. This app is a great example of how they are continuing to push forward and offer a great service.
Getting orders out the door with our brand standards used to be a bottleneck. Now its effortless.
Whiplash has been instrumental in the growth of the two shops that I run on Shopify. Both are using Whiplash warehousing and fulfillment. It's seamless, easy, customer service is readily available, everything is so easy. There is literally no way I would be in the position I am in now without Whiplash services. Highly recommended, cannot be stated more enthusiastically! A++++
If you run a business that has inventory in a warehouse that you have shipped to customers, you want to use Whiplash. Great rates, amazing service, plus great packaging and handling of your merchandise. They handle the product, so you can focus on marketing and running your business. As I type this, I am managing my business - ParadiseAintEasy.com - from a beach on Tortola in the BVI. Have confidence and you won't be disappointed. - PAE
Completely changed our business for the better. Friendly customer service, incredible hands on warehouse managers (who have taken the time to get on the phone to work out issues and discuss growth), extremely patient with setup and helpful at each step of the way. A year later my partner and I (who spent a decade boxing our own orders and using our houses and office as a warehouse) have been bag, box, and shipment free - trusting whiplash to take care of the (literal) heavy lifting, and its free'd us up to focus on our business and creative endeavors. Love this team.
We've been using Whiplash for over a year and have shipped thousands of orders with them with out issue. Fast and dependable with great customer service and an easy intuitive interface.
Whiplash has provided excellent service in every facet of their operation. We did a lot of research before we decided that Whiplash had the best features and services for our Shopify shop. A superb solution for small manufacturers like us who also sell their items at retail. We literally could not do this without Whiplash. From receiving, to warehousing, to organization, to CS, to fulfillment and even returns, they handle everything with ease.
I have been using Whiplash fulfillment for my company GiantMouse Knives for several years now. Based on my experience, I have brought on Whiplash for my second company (carpediemedc.com). The team at my Whiplash shipping facility is amazing, and incredibly responsive to any and all issues that arise with shipping product to customers. And Heather and the rest of the customer service team at Whiplash HQ is always there to help resolve anything that my local shipping team can't.
