My experience with flexport has been nothing short of awful. Poor sourcing, unqualified staff, and high prices. Compared to established enterprises that are experienced shipping perishable goods reliably they are not a serious competitor. Flexport couldn't even tell me the dimensions of the crates, number of crates, or weight of the crates they were supposed to deliver. Innovation is not a pretty UI in the freight industry.

Same, I stopped my interview process early and kept my job in industry. They have a few OK senior guys, sort of, but the rest are just startup monkeys learning as they go. Most companies don't like that when they see it given, you know, you're trusting them with your supply chain. Awesome idea though.
Aw jeez, sorry to hear about that... I'm really hoping this wasn't recently. Our service has changed drastically over just the last year, in product, expertise and especially pricing now that we're big enough for partners to take seriously. We've definitely gotten way better at shipping reefers -- if you'd like to give us another shot or have any questions feel free to ping me at evie@flexport.com and I'll get you set up!
