It seems like there’s an organic option for everything these days, from food and beverage to personal care items. Offering organic products is a great ecommerce niche to differentiate your products from competitors.

To meet customer demand for high-demand products, including organic, you will need a fulfillment strategy that will help you meet customer expectations, while reducing shipping costs and transit times. This can be difficult to accomplish on your own, but luckily, it’s easy to outsource fulfillment to a third-party logistics (3PL) provider like ShipBob.

Organic product fulfillment refers to the picking, packing, and shipping organic products such as organic foods, cotton fabrics, deodorants, beauty products, and much more.

Challenges of organic fulfillment
