\u201cThe day before Thanksgiving, 15,000 pairs of socks arrived at my apartment in downtown Chicago. One day later, on 23 November, the inventory was in ShipBob\u2019s Chicago fulfilment centre. By 25 November, we were successfully shipping orders out to customers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

ShipBob order fulfilment services in Chicago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a third-party logistics (3PL<\/a>) provider, ShipBob provides ecommerce fulfilment<\/a> services for online businesses. 3PLs allow ecommerce businesses to outsource the warehousing<\/a>, picking, packing, and shipping of their orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-fulfilment<\/a> can be time-consuming and inefficient, but by partnering with a 3PL, companies in Chicago can reduce the time staff spends on administrative tasks, as well as reduce shipping costs<\/a>. ShipBob offers features and fulfilment services including the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inventory management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With ShipBob, it\u2019s fast and easy to track inventory levels<\/a> so you know when to reorder stock, ensuring that customers never experience stockouts. ShipBob even offers automated reorder notifications that remind you to reorder inventory when it drops to a certain level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Order management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At ShipBob, we track ecommerce orders<\/a> from A to Z. You can filter orders by status, search for specific orders, and view the progression of an order in real-time with a time-stamped history. Learn more about order management<\/a> for your direct-to-consumer and wholesale shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

ShipBob clients can store inventory in multiple locations across the country, including the Chicago fulfilment warehouse, to offer fast shipping while keeping fulfilment costs<\/a> low. Distributing inventory across locations means shipments have to cover smaller distances, making it cheaper and faster to ship orders to more customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the best 3PL in Chicago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Chicago fulfilment logistics<\/a> industry is expansive and growing \u2014 so how does ShipBob differ from other Chicago 3PLs? Here\u2019s how ShipBob differentiates from a traditional pick-and-pack fulfilment provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urban fulfilment centres<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choosing ShipBob as your Chicago 3PL doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re limited to shipping from one location. ShipBob owns and operates facilities in several major US cities, allowing you to efficiently ship to the greatest number of customers in highly populated areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2-day shipping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the age of Amazon, customers expect 2-day shipping<\/a> everywhere they shop online. ShipBob can help ecommerce businesses offer fast and affordable shipping to their customers, leading to higher conversions and reduced cart abandonment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob offers dedicated customer support both at our headquarters and on-site at the Chicago fulfilment centre, meaning you\u2019ll always have insight into your order fulfilment<\/a>. As your local fulfilment centre, Chicago clients have customer support staff close to home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
