My experience with Blackship was extremely frustrating and unprofessional.Over the course of several weeks, Blackship repeatedly insisted that certain shipping “regulations” required documentation that, in reality, did not exist or were not legally applicable to the items being shipped. When pressed for citations or confirmation from the carrier, these requirements continually shifted rather than being clarified.They also demanded confidential manufacturer information (including safety documentation) without being able to explain why this information was legally required, or how it would be protected. This placed me in the position of being asked to violate a supplier’s confidentiality policies without justification.More concerning was the operational handling of the shipment itself. I was charged for international shipping and explicitly told that the item had been shipped. In fact, no shipment had occurred at all. The package sat in a warehouse for nearly a month without meaningful communication, updates, or transparency. A shipment status was marked in a way that implied progress, despite nothing actually moving.During this time, I had to initiate nearly all communication myself. There was no proactive disclosure that the item had not shipped, no timely explanation for delays, and no accountability for incorrect statements about shipment status.In short: • Non-existent or misrepresented regulatory requirements • Requests for confidential manufacturer information without justification • Shipping charges collected before shipping occurred • False or misleading shipment status updates • Extended warehouse delays with minimal communicationI expected a professional forwarding service that understands international shipping requirements and communicates clearly. Instead, I experienced confusion, misinformation, and a lack of basic operational transparency.Based on this experience, I cannot recommend BlackshipAnd now they posted a response with confidential information about my private business for all the world to see. Never use them if you hope to receive your items or have privacy.
