Affordable Fulfillment Services
It’s common for online brands to think outsourcing fulfillment to a 3PL is an additional cost, so they stick with in-house fulfillment.
In reality, a tech-enabled 3PL like ShipBob can turn your fulfillment strategy into a revenue driver.
With access to a growing international fulfillment network and best-in-class technology, you can hand logistics off to the experts without investing all your time and money into logistics operations.

ShipBob pulls me out of having to deal with the physical labor side of the business, which allows me more time to focus on making and marketing music. It’s an automated flow that lets me spend less time on things that aren’t making money.

Fast, affordable 2-day shipping
Partnering with a 3PL that has fulfillment centers in across the world can be vital to making sure your customers’ expectations are met through affordable, timely shipping. If fulfillment centers are only located on a coast, or in rural locations, you won’t be able to create a truly strategic geographic footprint.
ShipBob can help you optimize your shipping with the ability to store inventory in multiple locations, so you can offer faster, affordable 2-day shipping options for qualified customers.
Negotiated carrier rates
Since 3PLs partner with thousands of brands, they offer discounted shipping rates for their merchants.
ShipBob offers different combinations of standard and expedited shipping for both domestic and international destinations, and work with both major global carriers and even regional parcel carriers to optimize the last-mile delivery.
“When I was shipping orders myself, what I paid per order is the same price now to pick, pack, and ship orders through ShipBob. It’s even much cheaper to ship to certain countries, which used to take ages and often got lost with localized post here.
Now, I have very transparent pricing, and I can easily run and plan my business. I also like that I’m billed right away. My old carrier billed monthly, which would drain a huge sum of Euros from my account at once. My cash flow has improved.”
Leonie Lynch, Founder & CEO of Juspy
Saves on time
Time is money. With ShipBob, you can delegate time-consuming tasks to the experts, so you and your team can focus on growing your business. You can still maintain control and make supply chain decisions with full visibility into operations from ShipBob’s dashboard.
“You should spend time doing what you do best, and fulfillment is an easy task to take off your plate. Plus, we really couldn’t do it ourselves. Our order volume has seen ebbs and flows, and ShipBob has fulfilled over 10,000 shipments per month for us.”
Gerard Ecker, Founder & CEO of Ocean & Co.
Transparent pricing
Many brands learn early on that there are hidden costs to self-fulfilling orders and managing a warehouse, and that partnering with a 3PL like ShipBob is a smart investment that can save you time and money. ShipBob provides clear, transparent pricing so there’s no surprises.
If you have unique needs, such as custom packaging, kitting and bundles, custom packing slips, etc., ShipBob can accommodate your business at an additional cost. Quotes are customized to fit each merchants individual needs.
“As we expand with B2B and B2C orders, ShipBob’s pricing structure remains simple without any add-on charges. With most 3PLs, you will see a lot of hidden fees when you do your homework. ShipBob doesn’t play games — the pricing is clear and easy to understand.”
Matt Dryfhout, Founder & CEO of BAKblade
Free data and analytics

“ShipBob’s advanced software helps us quickly understand shipping costs and how to improve shipping times and costs by being closer to where our customers are.”

Distributed inventory
With ShipBob’s network of fulfillment centers, you can strategically split your inventory across our locations to get your products from point A to point B more quickly and affordably. Storing inventory near your customers helps reduce the shipping zones and costs associated with shipping orders to faraway destinations.
Distributed inventory also helps you stay competitive by offering fast shipping to your customers. When an order is placed, ShipBob’s algorithm automatically selects the warehouse and carrier that will give you the quickest turnaround at the best price. This strategy has helped our merchants bring 13% savings to their bottom line.
100% Coverage Across the Continental US
If you’re looking to expand into the United States, ShipBob has 2-Day Express Shipping that provides 100% coverage in the continental US from even just one fulfillment center.
You can also distribute your inventory across ShipBob’s fulfillment centers across all regions of the United States. We leave it up to you to decide where you want us to store your inventory.
Order management
At ShipBob, we track your orders from A to Z. Filter orders by status, search for specific orders, see a quick timeline view of where your order is in the fulfillment process (e.g. when an order is picked, packed, or shipped), easily find shipping-related information (e.g., weights, dimensions, or carrier service), and get a quick snapshot of any orders that require action.
With order management software for your direct-to-consumer and wholesale shipments, you can manage subscriptions, make changes to your orders post-purchase, map your store’s shipping options to ShipBob, and automatically share tracking information with your customers.
Inventory management
At ShipBob, we empower merchants to manage their inventory with the right tools and guidance. It’s easy to view the status of inventory and quantity on hand across locations at any point in time, identify slow-moving inventory with high storage costs, and gain insights into the performance of units sold over time by channel.
Our inventory management software helps you set reminders to proactively replenish inventory with reorder notifications, bundle your products for promotions, make inventory transfer requests, and much more.
Reporting and analytics
To provide you with visibility into our operations and performance, and also hold ourselves accountable, ShipBob’s free analytics tool is packed with charts to help you with everything from year-end reporting, to better supply chain decision-making.
Data can be a competitive advantage, and our reports show an analysis of which fulfillment centers you should stock, days of inventory left before you run out, impact of promotions on stock levels, each shipping method’s average cart value, shipping cost, and days in transit, your fulfillment cost per order, storage cost per unit, and much more.
End-to-end customer experience
We care about the customer experience as much as you and strive to be an extension of your team. From custom branded boxes to free plain packaging, ShipBob works with you to provide the unboxing experience you want. We also help you offer the fastest, most cost-effective shipping options to meet your customers’ expectations.
As soon as an order ships, tracking is pushed back to your store. We also offer return management services, allowing customers to generate return shipping labels and track returns, while getting your products processed and back into your available inventory as efficiently as possible.
