The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Flexport.
- $5,000 monthly minimum fulfillment spend requirement excludes small and medium businesses
- Inconsistent customer service with reports of slow quote responses that delayed orders by up to two months
- Hidden fees and additional charges beyond quoted prices reported by multiple customers
- Quote-only pricing model makes budgeting difficult compared to published rate cards from competitors
