CBD Fulfillment by ShipBob
Request a QuoteCBD is becoming known as the latest miracle drug, a cure-all for a whole host of maladies, from stress and anxiety to joint inflammation and skin problems. Worth half a billion dollars in 2018, the CBD market is projected to skyrocket to $16 billion in 2025.
It’s no surprise that ecommerce vendors are getting in on the frenzy. Though federally legal, the hazy state-by-state legal status of CBD has made online stores an especially valuable sales channel for CBD users.

Outsourcing fulfillment takes these burdens off your hands. Furthermore, using multiple ShipBob fulfillment centers can actually lower your shipping costs by reducing the number of shipping zones a package must cross to reach its destination. ShipBob’s technology also automatically searches the top mail carriers to find the best rates.
With ShipBob, your CBD products will get into the hands of your customers faster and cheaper than ever.
