What home and garden brands need from a fulfilment partner
Whether you sell cookware, decor, or gardening essentials, home and garden fulfilment comes with unique challenges — from seasonal peaks to multi-SKU complexity. Here’s what to look for in a partner that can simplify logistics while keeping customers delighted year-round.
Reduce shipping costs for home and garden goods
Shipping cookware, decor, and other mid-weight items from a single location increases your average shipping zone and inflates shipping costs and times. Choose a fulfilment partner that can automatically distribute stock across different countries and regions to save on shipping while keeping delivery times short.
Gain complete visibility into multichannel inventory
Juggling dozens of colour, size, and material variants across your store, marketplaces, and retail partners makes overselling a constant risk. Look for a 3PL whose technology unifies orders and real-time inventory levels across all channels to give you the data to reorder with confidence.
Scaling operations for seasonal and omnichannel surges
Spring clean-outs, holiday peaks, and bulk retail orders can overwhelm an in-house setup. Partner with a provider that blends nationwide capacity and retail dropshipping & distribution workflows so you can flex up without missing a beat.
Gift-ready bundles without inventory headaches
Selling multiple SKUs as a single gift set can quickly derail stock accuracy. Seek out technology that virtually bundles products and automatically deducts each bundle component in real time which keeps inventory numbers spot-on for every SKU and channel.
Coordinating shipping-friendly items with larger pieces under one tech stack
A catalogue that spans throw pillows to coffee tables needs more than one fulfilment method. Find a partner that supports a hybrid approach – one that lets you outsource easily-shippable SKUs to their fulfilment network, and manage oversized or bulky items in your own U.S. warehouse with a WMS, all through the same platform.
Expanding internationally without customs confusion
Cross-border shoppers want the speed and cost of local deliveries and no surprise fees. Choose a logistics partner with in-country fulfilment in key markets and DDP shipping options so duties are prepaid and transit times stay short.
ShipBob’s fulfilment solutions that home and garden brands care about
ShipBob helps home and garden brands bring efficiency and consistency to every shipment. With distributed inventory, real-time visibility, and global fulfilment coverage, you can scale confidently across DTC, retail, and marketplace channels.
Strategic inventory allocation and distribution
ShipBob’s distributed inventory network makes it easy to strategically store your mid-weight home and gardening goods closer to your customers. By leveraging our Inventory Placement Program, your inventory is automatically allocated across different regions of the U.S., ensuring orders are shipped from the nearest location.
This approach helps brands reduce shipping distances and costs, while also speeding up delivery times for indoor and outdoor essentials. With ShipBob, you can scale efficiently and keep your shipping spend under control as your business grows.
Unified inventory management across all your channels
ShipBob’s powerful platform syncs your inventory across every sales channel, giving you a single source of truth for stock levels in real time. Effortlessly track variants by colour, size, and material, and prevent overselling with automated updates as orders flow in.
With clear, centralised data, you can make smarter replenishment decisions and keep every channel running smoothly.
Global fulfilment network
ShipBob empowers brands to scale with a global network of dozens of fulfilment centres across the U.S., the UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia. Our unified technology platform ensures consistent, reliable operations and real-time visibility into inventory and orders, no matter where you’re shipping. With flexible, tech-driven solutions, you can quickly expand into new markets, distribute inventory closer to customers, and meet demand across channels and geographies.
Whether you’re launching a new product, entering a new country, or preparing for peak season, ShipBob’s scalable infrastructure and expert support help you deliver fast, cost-effective shipping.
Effortless product bundling
ShipBob’s advanced bundling capabilities let you sell multiple SKUs as a single curated gift set or custom bundle, all without the hassle of manual inventory adjustments. When a bundle is ordered, each component is automatically picked, packed, and deducted from recorded inventory levels in real time – ensuring your stock levels stay accurate across every channel.
Easily configure and manage bundles in your dashboard, so you can offer gift-ready sets that delight customers while keeping operations streamlined and inventory numbers spot-on.
Hybrid fulfilment solutions
ShipBob’s all-in-one fulfilment platform empowers brands to manage both easily-shippable items and larger, bulky products under a single, unified tech stack.
With robust WMS, IMS, and OMS tools in the platform, you can seamlessly outsource fulfilment for smaller SKUs to ShipBob’s global network, while handling oversized or specialty items in your own warehouse using ShipBob WMS – and because every facility in ShipBob’s fulfilment network runs on ShipBob WMS, you’ll achieve accurate, consistent fulfilment in both in-house and outsourced operations.
This hybrid approach streamlines workflows, reduces manual effort, and ensures a consistent experience for your team and your customers, no matter where or how each order is fulfilled.
Global DDP shipping
ShipBob empowers brands to expand internationally with ease by offering in-country fulfilment in key global markets and a robust DDP shipping solution. Through partnerships with leading cross-border platforms, ShipBob enables brands to calculate and prepay duties and taxes at checkout, ensuring a transparent, seamless delivery experience for customers in over 250 destinations.
