Menace Pickleball is a family-run business founded by Kasey Jarvis, his wife, and their two sons. Brought together by their shared passion for pickleball, they grew tired of slow, complicated nets and decided to design a better solution; one that an average person could set up in under a minute. Driven by frustration and love for the game, Menace Pickleball created a fast, reliable, and professionally built portable net.
When launching their Kickstarter, the team faced daunting logistics challenges—from shipping bulky nets to tracking down accurate backer addresses.
“Crowdfunding is a blessing and a curse. It gets you exposure, but suddenly you’re buried in logistics”.
Address errors, heavy packaging, and a lack of fulfillment tools threatened to overwhelm their small operation.
As first-time crowdfunders shipping a bulky product, Menace Pickleball needed a streamlined way to manage fulfillment. Easyship helped them simplify the process end to end, starting with automated fee collection and ending with hands-off delivery.
One of the biggest logistical pain points was collecting shipping fees from Kickstarter backers without manual follow-ups or confusion. With Easyship Collect, they were able to charge shipping fees upfront based on each backer’s location, removing the guesswork and admin.
“Easyship Collect took care of one of the most painful parts - we couldn’t have done this manually”.
To manage the physical fulfillment of over 360 nets, Menace Pickleball partnered with Easyship’s 3PL network, shipping through Sincro’s LAX warehouse.
“Sincro made the warehouse side basically invisible. We just saw the orders go out. It worked so well we barely had to think about it.”
As they shifted into eCommerce, the family-run business relied on Easyship’s platform to integrate with Shopify, ship at scale, and get responsive support when needed.
“Easyship does 80–90% of the work automatically. That’s what allows us to keep going and focus on growing.”
With Easyship, Menace Pickleball has experience outcomes that confirm the benefits of true automation:
“Easyship takes something complicated, intimidating, and frustrating—and makes it seamless and invisible”.
Menace Pickleball is steadily building its Shopify business with growing daily sales. Future plans include launching replacement parts, a wind-resistant net version, and potentially expanding internationally as scale and weight logistics allow.
With Easyship handling fulfillment flexibly and intelligently, Menace Pickleball can stay focused on creating delightful pickleball experiences—for families, tournament players, and casual rounds alike.
