Pick and ship services are a core aspect of the services that ShipBob offers. It is a critical part of the order fulfilment process and needs to be streamlined to be as efficient and cost-effective as possible. Picking involves using a picking list to retrieve items for an order from the warehouse, and shipping is determining the best carrier and price for each package that goes out.
ShipBob works with high volumes of orders, which has given them the ability to negotiate bulk discounts with all of the major U.S. couriers: USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Whether you’re shipping out 100 or 100,000 packages a day, you still get the same great price breaks and savings passed onto you.
For pick and ship services to be streamlined, a warehouse needs to carefully catalogueueue each item and its location so that employees can find products immediately within a large space. ShipBob employees can quickly and accurately pick a product from any one of their warehouses to get orders turned around quickly. In fact, if an order comes in before 2:00 PM, they’ll have it out the door the same day.
Once a product has been packed, it is then shipped. Shipping entails choosing the best carrier and price for each package based on the final destination, package size, and whether it has special considerations.
Online retailers find a lot of value in outsourcing the pick and ship processes, especially once their orders hit a hundred or more a month. At this volume, the storage space and resources needed become prohibitive for self-fulfilment.
