VelocityShip Review


Hi, I am an online seller writing an honest review of the best fulfillment companies out there. I used ot use Amazon FBA and after experiencing their horrendous customer service and high fulfillment prices I tried many other fulfillment companies and found one that was way better.

Amazon is a very big company, and is one of the leading e-commerce websites on the internet. But when it comes to fulfillment there are many disadvantages when going with them. They can cut into your profits with their high fulfillment fees which in the end you will make less money. Below is a helpful price chart, information I wish I known when first starting to sell on amazon. Good luck, and happy selling!

VelocityShip's Pricing:

501-1000 Monthly Orders
$1.80
Per order
$1.80 | First Item Pick Fee Per Order

  1. I had a bad experience with a small fulfillment company that was incompetent. Then I tried Amazon which was very complicated and hard to get a hold of for customer service. VelocityShip solved both those problems for me. The customer service is excellent and I have had no complaints on mistakes by any customers. The pricing is very fair.

  2. Velocity ship is wayyy cheaper. I don't know why people are still using amazon FBA or any other fulfillment companies.

  3. Velocityship is possibly my biggest asset so far. As long as you follow receiving guidelines, they really are click and forget. Shipping notifications are sent the same day back to Shopify, which means your customer can stay on top of his order without having to ask you. Also, their integration is absolutely seamless! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM to anyone looking for reliable fulfillment.

  5. A few months ago, I switched to velocityship from Amazon and could not be happier. team has been amazing to work with, answering all my questions quickly and pretty much holding my hand (figuratively) through the whole process. He even suggested that i recheck the weight of my products to save on shipping costs! How amazing is that? I love working with a company who cares about it's customers! Also, my customers have been very pleased too. They get their orders very quickly and so far there have been absolutely no problems. I should have made the switch a long time ago.

  18. Greetings to all, we are not a regular here, just came looking for reviews but had to jump in as a Kickstarter creator after looking for reviews about Velocityship to add our personal experience, and it is not good. TLDR - Beware and stay far far away from Velocityship if you are in any kind of hurry to speak with someone.


    We finished a successful kickstarter with thousands of boxes to deliver and of course were overwhelmed by the task of hand labeling each one so we looked for reviews of fulfillment companies and kept seeing Velocityship pop up.


    I have no idea who wrote so many glowing reviews but am starting to believe as some have suggested in various forums that it must be their staff.


    We have no dog in the fight, and no one to recommend, we are just a retailer (still) looking for a good fulfilment company but, WOW!.... if you are looking for a professional company to help you save time and fulfill your order look somewhere else.


    Velocityship is by far the worst first contact experience ever. Feels like we are talking to a company stuck in the 70's. You can't even call directly to talk to someone as it all goes through an answering service no matter what day or time you call.


    After being told we could not talk to anyone directly we went to their site and filled out the form and asked for an email quote, still no reply for 3 days.


    We then called back and were told we had to wait 2-4 days to get an appointment just to talk someone on the phone. So we bit as we were in need and after waiting two days we finally received a text for our appointment, hooray! (Only 7 days wait to talk to someone!)
    You guessed it, after all that they never even called! So of course we tried to reply to the text and guess what, you cant text back to or call the number!


    Being a glutton for punishment and thinking this has to be some kind of mistake, we waited a few more days for a call and when nothing happened we called back, and got the same answering service that wanted to start all over again!


    To be fair, In the end did we get to se the company to comment on their service no, we never even got to first base. Call me crazy but if this is an indicator of their customer service, and it is, looks like we will go with someone else.
