What Merchants Think

Merchants have varied opinions about LVK Logistics, previously known as ShipHero. While some users are thrilled by the supportive and responsive customer service, particularly praising individuals like Soledad and EMI, others have faced significant operational issues, including service disruptions, erroneous charges, and logistical errors. The acquisition by LVK seems to have influenced certain business decisions, leading to contrasting experiences among users.

Key Strengths

  • Exceptional customer service, often going above and beyond to assist customers.
  • Responsive support team praised for their dedication and efficiency.
  • Good pricing for those who can handle the additional fee.

Common Concerns

  • High monthly "Tech" charge of $500, impacting small-volume businesses.
  • Logistical issues such as lost packages and inventory mismanagement.
  • Lack of support for returns, and restricted ability to change addresses post-shipment.
  • Unexpected service bans on return labels without customer notification.
  • Issues with double charging and mishandled reimbursements.

Final Thoughts

LVK Logistics has proven to be a reliable partner for businesses seeking strong support and service when it comes to logistics. However, financial and operational hurdles reported by a number of users indicate potential risks, particularly for small-volume merchants. It is crucial for potential users to assess their capacity to manage LVK's pricing structure and to communicate effectively with customer support for the best experience.

They double charged me for shipments to the tune of $25K USD over the course of four months, continued to do so for two months when I notified them of their error, and then reimbursed me three months after that. One in 200 packages gets a "no-first-scan" error where the parcel is simply lost outright, and I have no recourse or reimburse for the contents of the order, must pay shipping for a new order to be sent out, my customer gets their order three weeks late, and I only get a partial reimbursement for the shipping cost in most cases, but only if I petition them. One in 250 parcels has a transposed item mistake with another parcel, and I've had it twice in my short tenure that my customer was shipped a product from someone else's store, and I was charged shipping for both shipments, and had to petition to get a reimbursement. Many hundreds of orders had a tacked on oversize charge of $4 because their auto-rule packed everything, even something the size of a pack of cards in a 24" x 24" polybag, and even if the polybag was folded and taped, that counts as an oversized package (one dimension over 20") in their eyes. Now, any PO box addresses will count as a Zone 9 charge (think, Australia), and also they are tacking on $500 a month for simply using their software. Edit: So with the issues above, why four stars? Aside from the no-first-scan issues, a resolution was found eventually. The prices are good if you can weather the $500 a month, and the support is good to - although I do find it underhanded for the company to have their individual support agents request for reviews - as though you're reviewing the agent and not the whole platform.
