What pet accessory brands need from a fulfilment partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From collars and leashes to toys and apparel, pet brands manage large catalogues, frequent reorders, and size variations that complicate fulfilment. Here\u2019s what to look for in a 3PL that keeps costs low and tails wagging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost-effective shipping for high-volume pet products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When products ship from a single fulfilment location, shipping to distant regions (higher shipping zones) increases fulfilment costs. Choose a fulfilment partner with a distributed network and inventory distribution and placement capabilities in the US to reduce average zones and control spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streamlined SKU and bundle management solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Collars, leashes, and accessories in multiple sizes and colours can overwhelm your operations, get hard to track, and are easy to accidentally oversell. Look for a platform with an intuitive product catalogue that tracks each product variant as its own SKU, and that allows you to create virtual bundles that automatically deduct the individual components at checkout, simplifying mix-and-match ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seamless management of multiple sales channels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Expanding to Amazon, Chewy, or big-box retailers often means managing separate workflows and warehouses. Partner with an omnifulfillment partner that handles both DTC orders and B2B shipments \u2013 including Amazon FBA prep orders and automated EDI retail distribution (for major retailers like Chewy) \u2013 that all draw from a shared pool of inventory for real-time visibility and control across sales channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimised returns and exchanges for perfect pet fit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pet parents often buy multiple sizes and return what doesn\u2019t fit. Choose a provider that facilitates a seamless returns experience, integrates with returns portals (such as Loop and AfterShip), offers designated options for returned products (restock, quarantine, or disposal) set by SKU, or that can route returns to a different returns location if preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliable subscription delivery for loyal pet customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recurring shipments of chews, supplements, or litters need to leave the warehouse on schedule every time. Choose a fulfilment solution that puts your recurring subscription orders on autopilot, ensuring subscribers always receive their refills on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expansion to meet international customer demand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Viral products can quickly attract customers globally, complicating cross-boarder compliance and extending transit times. Choose a partner with a global fulfilment network that offers local fulfilment in countries including the US, the UK, Canada, Europe, and Australia, and provides Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping options for transparent cross-border costs at checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s fulfilment solutions that pet accessory brands care about<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob helps pet accessory brands simplify fulfilment with distributed inventory, advanced SKU tracking, and automated bundle management \u2014 so you can scale faster and deliver a better experience for every pet parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distributed inventory network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s distributed fulfilment network lets you place inventory closer to customers across the US. By stocking multiple locations, you reduce average shipping zones and avoid costly long-distance shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our platform helps you easily estimate shipping costs, leverage real-time analytics for multiple locations, and utilise the automated inventory distribution to keep shipping spend under control. With ShipBob, you gain the flexibility and cost-efficiency needed to protect your margins and deliver a better experience to pet parents everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced SKU and bundle management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s intuitive Product Catalogue enables you to track every product variant as its own unique SKU, providing precise inventory tracking and a single source of truth. Effortlessly create and fulfil custom virtual bundles, with automatic inventory deductions for each component after checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This streamlined approach helps eliminate overselling and simplifies even the most complex product catalogues, so your operations team can focus on growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unified omnichannel fulfilment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob supports marketplace integrations and the EDI fulfilment process, as well as Amazon FBA prep, allowing you to fulfil DTC parcels and B2B shipments to major retailers from a single pool of inventory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With real-time visibility and automated order routing, ShipBob streamlines your operations and helps you scale across every channel with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible returns management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob facilitates a seamless returns experience, and integrates with partners like Loop and AfterShip that make initiating returns and exchanges easier. You can set up restock, quarantine, or disposal rules by SKU directly in the ShipBob dashboard, ensuring returned items are processed according to your brand\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This level of control helps keep your inventory accurate and up-to-date, while providing a smooth experience for your customers. If you prefer, you can also have returns sent to a non-ShipBob location of your choosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated subscription fulfilment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s platform automates subscription workflows based on subscriber cadence, putting recurring orders on autopilot and integrating with leading subscription apps (like Ordergroove and Recharge), ensuring shipments are picked, packed, and shipped on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global DDP shipping and fulfilment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s global network lets you store inventory near customers in key markets across the US, the UK, Canada, Europe, and Australia. With DDP shipping options, you can also provide transparent landed costs at checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our partnerships with leading couriers and local fulfilment centres ensure fast, reliable cross-border delivery, even during sudden demand surges. Scale confidently worldwide, knowing your customers receive their orders quickly and without hassle, wherever they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lot tracking and freshness control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s platform allows you to mark SKUs as lot-controlled and capture lot numbers and expiration dates during the receiving process via the WRO to maintain end-to-end traceability. ShipBob supports FEFO (First Expired, First Out) picking \u2013 automatically prioritizing items with the nearest listed expiry \u2013 to help reduce waste and enhance the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
