Business Continuity Through COVID-19
With the realities of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, many ecommerce brands are wondering how to keep their business on track. One important aspect of longevity is a healthy supply chain.
While other 3PLs are closing and Amazon is shutting down its services for thousands of companies, all eight of our fulfillment centers in the United States and Canada are fully operational.
Anticipating volume swings due to fluctuations in consumer spending, dealing with manufacturing delays and government action, staying on top of rulings across various countries states, and cities, paying attention to updates from carriers, and meeting customer expectations can bring many challenges in an uncertain time.
As the leading fulfillment provider, ShipBob offers the services, technology, and support you need to move your business forward and grow — even through new and unique circumstances.
Having a good fulfillment partner is more important now than ever, and partnering with ShipBob brings business continuity to your supply chain.

Just as states were shutting down from Coronavirus, we sent inventory to three ShipBob fulfillment centers. Our first batch of inventory was received and ready to be shipped the next day. Nine days after talking to ShipBob, we were shipping orders.

Customer Stories
Don’t just take our word for it — see why ShipBob is trusted by thousands of merchants
The reports that ShipBob provides show their dedication to transparency — things like actual transit times and whether they’re hitting their service-level agreements. They are really committed to their customers and keeping themselves accountable. Since we expanded into a second ShipBob fulfillment center, we even brought 13% cost savings to our bottom line.
Business Operations Manager at Ample Foods,
There is a cost-benefit to having several fulfillment centers, as orders can be shipped from warehouses that are closer to customers and delivered very quickly. With ShipBob, I stay up-to-date with what’s shipped, physical inventory levels, and my company’s performance. They keep getting better, helping brands grow and expand at a ratio that other 3PLs might be a few years behind.
Founder and CEO of BAKblade,
Our business is almost all subscriptions, and ShipBob helps us offer reliable, affordable shipping that shows up at the same time each month. ShipBob’s analytics tool helps us a lot with planning inventory reorders, seeing when SKUs are going to run out, and we can even set up email notifications so that we’re alerted when a SKU has less than a certain quantity left.
