CBD 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.

Looking to get in on the CBD craze? With a fulfilment provider (or 3PL) like ShipBob, you can do so without having to worry about the tedious logistics of retail fulfilment. ShipBob has the infrastructure, technology, and industry expertise to keep fulfilment running smoothly, so you can focus on growing your business.

“Our fulfilment is on autopilot. ShipBob saves us so much effort, and the opportunity cost savings has been substantial. ShipBob’s platform is easy to use and navigate, the interface is intuitive, and the analytics are very clearly laid out. Today, our health and wellness brand sells three CBD products in the United States.”

Yannick Crespo, Co-Founder & President of Pot d’Huile

Fulfil your CBD orders with ShipBob

You probably didn’t get into the CBD business just to spend all your time packing boxes, and ecommerce fulfilment entails so much more than that. You have to organise your warehouse, manage your inventory, and find the best shipping rates for your customers, just to name a few things.

Outsourcing fulfilment takes these burdens off your hands. Furthermore, using multiple ShipBob fulfilment centres 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 couriers to find the best rates.

With ShipBob, your CBD products will get into the hands of your customers faster and cheaper than ever.

ShipBob’s services for CBD sellers

Setting up fulfilment with ShipBob is easy: you simply connect your store to our platform and ship your products to a ShipBob fulfilment centre. We handle everything from there: inventory management, picking, packing, shipping, and more.

Warehousing

Renting warehouse space for your inventory is expensive, and then you have to keep your warehouse organised, clean, and secure. With ShipBob none of this is a concern: your products are organised and stored securely in our fulfilment centres.

Inventory management 

Warehousing is only part of the challenge; keeping your inventory counts accurate and tracking inventory levels is another difficult aspect of fulfilment. ShipBob’s platform comes with built-in inventory management technology that lets you track inventory counts at each fulfilment centre that your products are stored. You can also set reorder points and receive automatic notifications when your inventory levels are low and you can get the right reorder quantity.

Custom, branded packaging

There are no hidden packaging fees with ShipBob: standard materials are included in your ShipBob quote, or you can opt for branded-custom packaging from one of our unboxing partners.

Shipping

When an order is placed at your store it’s forwarded to our closest fulfilment centre to your customer, where our picking and packing teams prepare and ship the order, with tracking info sent to the customer.

Happy ShipBob Customers

CBD company Nature’s Ultra experienced a surge in orders in 2018 with the beginning of the CBD boom. The logistics became too much to handle, so they started searching for a 3PL that could scale rapidly and optimise their shipping to provide an Amazon-like experience.

Eventually, they landed on ShipBob, which allowed them to offer 2-Day Express Shipping to 100% of their customers, saw a bump in sales conversions, and went on to achieve 9,900% growth year-over-year.

“With ShipBob, 100% of our orders are going out via 2-day shipping and we can ship to all 50 US states with ease. ShipBob has allowed us to scale up and become successful — we have gone from $70,000 in sales in 2018 to over $7 million in sales.”

Andrew Hardy, COO of Nature’s Ultra
