Iowa Fulfilment Services
Fulfilment is one of the most important components of running a successful ecommerce business, encompassing everything from supply chain management and inventory management to how fast your shipping is and how much it costs. It determines whether or not you have enough inventory on hand to meet demand, and ensures you don’t tie up too much capital in inventory.
But, because fulfilment is so multi-layered and complex, many ecommerce companies struggle to get it right.
Outsourcing fulfilment to a third-party logistics (3PL) provider can solve fulfilment problems for your company. ShipBob is a 3PL that can help you reduce your shipping costs and speed up delivery times. This ultimately leads to more sales, higher average order value, and happier customers.
Because ShipBob has a lot of people to handle our orders and additional warehouses we can expand into, we can scale up with ease as we continue to grow quickly.

Distribute your inventory and ship more efficiently
Your average ecommerce company oftentimes uses a fulfilment centre nearby, but while this model is logical for brick-and-mortar retail, it makes less sense for an ecommerce company whose customer base is spread out across the country. If you only have an Iowa fulfilment centre but much of your customers live on the East or West coasts, then the cost of shipping to those customers will be hefty. And, when you’re competing against retail giants and marketplaces like Amazon, this becomes a major competitive disadvantage.
Instead, imagine that you could adopt the infrastructure and shipping capabilities of a national retail giant overnight — this is what ShipBob can do for your business. We have a growing fulfilment distribution across the globe. You can choose to ship from any or all of them based on where your customers live. Just check your data, choose the ShipBob fulfilment centres closest to your customers, and we’ll distribute your products from there.
ShipBob uses best-in-class technology that searches the top mail couriers for the fastest, more affordable route quote for each shipment. We take care of picking, packing, and shipping, so you never have to spend time packing boxes again!
How ShipBob improves your fulfilment and logistics
Save on fulfilment costs
Coffee creamer brand Prymal joined ShipBob in 2019 and was quickly able to save $8,000 per month on fulfilment costs, while at the same time achieving 4x growth.
Improve your conversion rate
Not only was BAKblade able to scale internationally by partnering with ShipBob, but they found adding 2-Day Shipping increased their conversions as well.
Store, ship, and grow internationally
Sunglasses brand Ombraz distributed their inventory across 3 fulfilment centres in two different countries. This has allowed them to ship to 55 countries on seven continents.
Distributed inventory
With ShipBob’s network of fulfilment centres, you can strategically split your inventory across our locations to get your products from point A to point B more quickly and affordably. Storing inventory near your customers helps reduce the shipping zones and costs associated with shipping orders to faraway destinations.
Distributed inventory also helps you stay competitive by offering fast shipping to your customers. When an order is placed, ShipBob’s algorithm automatically selects the warehouse and courier that will give you the quickest turnaround at the best price. This strategy has helped our merchants bring 13% savings to their bottom line.
100% Coverage Across the Continental US
If you’re looking to expand into the United States, ShipBob has 2-Day Express Shipping that provides 100% coverage in the continental US from even just one fulfilment centre.
You can also distribute your inventory across ShipBob’s fulfilment centres across all regions of the United States. We leave it up to you to decide where you want us to store your inventory.
Order management
At ShipBob, we track your orders from A to Z. Filter orders by status, search for specific orders, see a quick timeline view of where your order is in the fulfilment process (e.g. when an order is picked, packed, or shipped), easily find shipping-related information (e.g., weights, dimensions, or courier service), and get a quick snapshot of any orders that require action.
With order management software for your direct-to-consumer and wholesale shipments, you can manage subscriptions, make changes to your orders post-purchase, map your store’s shipping options to ShipBob, and automatically share tracking information with your customers.
Reporting and analytics
To provide you with visibility into our operations and performance, and also hold ourselves accountable, ShipBob’s free analytics tool is packed with charts to help you with everything from year-end reporting, to better supply chain decision-making.
Data can be a competitive advantage, and our reports show an analysis of which fulfilment centres you should stock, days of inventory left before you run out, impact of promotions on stock levels, each shipping method’s average cart value, shipping cost, and days in transit, your fulfilment cost per order, storage cost per unit, and much more.
End-to-end customer experience
We care about the customer experience as much as you and strive to be an extension of your team. From custom branded boxes to free plain packaging, ShipBob works with you to provide the unboxing experience you want. We also help you offer the fastest, most cost-effective shipping options to meet your customers’ expectations.
As soon as an order ships, tracking is pushed back to your store. We also offer return management services, allowing customers to generate return shipping labels and track returns, while getting your products processed and back into your available inventory as efficiently as possible.
