    I would give them a minus due to the constant lies they told us. They have no problem selling you their delivery but blame Fed Ex and then hurt peoples trips and offer no compensation worth the trip lose and also show no remorse to constantly lie to their costumers .. ********* in a row 2 day delivery turned into 8 days and lots of excuses and lies .. even tried to blame the ****** fires causing shortages but never had a problem selling it to us and never knew till it was already late and could not reimburse us for a **** round because they lost 5 sets of clubs on this trip ... Do not use them.

    **************,

    Good morning and thank you for taking the time to review your recent shipments to ******. As mentioned in our conversations yesterday with your assistant *****, we sincerely apologize and regret the inconveniences you experienced due to this delay. It is never our teams intention to mislead a customer, however, we are somewhat limited to only being able to convey the information to you that is provided to use from our partnered carrier ****** It is unfortunate that the information ***** provided us last week turned out to be inaccurate, and for that we do apologize.

    ***** has confirmed the reason for the extended delay is that the particular facility in Maui responsible for delivering your shipments was experiencing staffing shortages due to employee displacement that derived from the Maui wildfires a few months back. This is the first this has been brought to our attention by *****, hence why we were not able to make you aware of this prior to shipping. As of yesterday, we were able to arrange the ***** station to have all shipments available for collection, and hired a third party courier to collect your bags and complete delivery to your destination. In addition to the hired courier we have also refunded you for all outbound shipping costs ($999.85), rescheduled your tee time on your behalf, talked to the destination to decrease your cancelation fee by 50%, and offered your our $200 Shipment Protection Plan per shipment. As you mentioned, you are not sure the $200 Shipment Protection Plan per bag will be adequate, so we have advised in our conversations to please forward us all item receipts eligible for reimbursement, and our executive team will review this matter in detail before providing an expense reimbursement offer.

    We can see you have shipped with us frequently, and hope you understand from your past experiences that this particular scenario is by no means typical, and we are committed to finding a fair resolution. We look forward to receiving the reimbursement receipts from you, so we can assist accordingly.

    Thank you for your time.

    I don’t understand why this service is so highly rated. I shipped my clubs back from Indiana and the box I sent it in is completely destroyed. Not to mention it arrived late. My clubs were out of my bag and looks like they were shoved back in before arriving to my house. I’d love to leave a photo of the box but I’m not sure how on here. Horrible experience. You can just ship them yourself through fedex. You pay this ridiculous price to have them logistically figure everything out and in the end, you’re better off doing it yourself.

    I used them to send my golf clubs overseas. My clubs never
    made it and they ONLY reimburse $200 measly dollars for rentals etc.
    even though it may cost much more. They reimbursed my shipping cost but
    my clubs are nowhere to be found and I asked about making the claim for
    lost clubs but they said "well technicaly your clubs are not lost so
    eventually they wiil get to you" but I'm like when? maybe in 2024??
    Stay away from shipping internationally from this company. I followed
    all the directions to a T.
    Super bad, BBB please do something

    Good morning and thank you for taking the time to review your recent Ship Sticks experience. We do apologize for any inconvenience you experienced regarding the customs delay that occurred on (1) of your (2) shipments to ********. We can assure you this is by no means typical and our team has been working diligently to correct the matter. Unfortunately, once a shipment is flagged by customs, our ability to intervene does become somewhat limited. We have been actively speaking with customs and confirming they have received all appropriate documentation for clearance. Due to this inconvenience, we did refund the full shipping cost associated with this delayed shipment, and offered our Shipment Protection Plan to assist with golf related expenses and rental club reimbursement. While we understand this situation is not ideal, I can assure you we do take matters such as this one seriously. 


    With that being said, the good news is as of this morning, your shipment has been successfully cleared from customs and departed the ************** in route back to *******, ** via DHL waybill number **********. 


    If you do have any additional questions, please reach out via phone at ************. Additionally, our International Support Manager will be making another outreach to you later this morning, as we have been doing throughout this matter, to provide the update and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your time and understanding.

    Good morning. Thank you for contacting our support team through the Better Business Bureau and sharing your valued feedback. We regret to hear that upon receiving your shipment, your travel case was damaged. Being a frequent user of our service we hope you know this is not typical and we are sorry to hear this has occurred. We strive for excellence and truly regret to hear that your experience with us was anything less than exceptional.
     
    We did send you an email yesterday, September 17th at 4:22 pm regarding your travel bag/case damage and have not heard back. We would like to hear more about this scenario so we may further assist. At your convenience, could you please reply to our email describing the damage that was incurred so that we may look into this further? If you're able to provide photos that would be especially helpful.
     
    We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and look forward to being of further assistance.

    If I did my research, I wouldn't have used Ship Sticks. Going from ********** to ******** - they lost my clubs (and all my equipment). It's been 3 weeks now, and just going through the claim process, which will cover a quarter of the value. Ship sticks is essentially a middle man. They don't own/control any part of the shipping process, just facilitate it through the regular channels ************ etc). Pair that with all these lost bags (on multiple customer review platforms), the assumption is they're a pretty big target for theft. I wouldn't trust them with high value items (financial and/or sentimental). Go the airline route - Southwest allows free check-in for golf equipment, and UA counts sports equipment towards your checked bag allowance (subject to fees). Or ship direct. ***** does not offer insurance, but you can declare value per shipment - and at least you'd be dealing with them directly in the same scenario.

    ************,

    Good afternoon and thank you for reviewing your ongoing shipment. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that is being caused by this matter. Unfortunately, it seems your shipping label become detached from your shipment in transit, and therefore has required our team to start a Lost Package Investigation with our partnered carrier ****** The initial investigation will last (10) business days before a claim can be filed. After the 10th business day, we can then initiate an insurance claim based on the insurance amount you selected when booking. While the insurance claim is under review, we will remain committed to locating your shipment. In many instances, it is not uncommon for shipments to be located in the ***** National Lost and Found facility after the initial (10) business day search.

    When you order was booked, you selected $1,000 of shipment insurance. Therefore, this is the amount that the insurance provider is obligated to pay if we are unable to locate your shipment. Please know when booking you do have the option to insure your shipment up to $7,500 at a nominal fee, and as an act of courtesy, Ship Sticks does insure all shipments for $1,000 at no cost. 

    I can assure you we take matters such as this one very seriously, and remain actively committed to locating your shipment within the ***** logistics network. We do regret if progress is not being made as quickly as you would desire and will continue to work diligently toward a resolution.

    If you have any further questions, you can reach us directly through our ongoing email chain or by calling ************. Thank you for your time and patience while we work toward resolving this matter.

    Could someone please help me understand why Ship Sticks gets voted the ******************************* when there are so many reviews of lost clubs? Mine included. Any shipping service could have shipped my clubs (Fed Ex/UPS). I paid for a service whose only business mission is to get clubs to their destination. And, if not, to find them. They are doing nothing more than I am to locate my clubs - calling Fed ******************** has not been pro active or specific on what their plan is to locate the clubs. One customer service rep hung up on me. Ship Stix charges a fee for getting clubs to their destination on time and more importantly finding clubs when they go missing. Ship Stix has great branding - but it ends there. Buyer beware.

    Our sincerest apologies about the current lost clubs. Our team has submitted a refund for the shipment and will reimburse you for rental expenses. We will continue to work on the case until resolved.

    My story is too long to put on paper. Bottom line...... due to Ship Stick's poor communication and limited operating hours my International shipment was late for my Ireland "trip of a lifetime". My wife and I incurred costs of over $2000 for club rentals and golf accessories needed to play. Of the six games I played on some of the nicest courses in Ireland my wife and I played with rentals on three of them. As of now all that has been offered in compensation if 30% off the cost to ship. Unbelievable!!!!!!I will let it be known every chance that I get that this company is not to be trusted and would never recommend that it's service be used.
