Global Reach Through One Partner
No matter where your customers are, ShipBob gets you closer to them. With dozens of fulfillment centers across the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, having ShipBob as your sole fulfillment provider helps you scale into new markets with ease and manage inventory across locations from a single dashboard login.
You can also ship to your customers in 250+ destinations, create destination-based rules, and offer a variety of standard and expedited shipping options on your cart, including real-time carrier rates.
Accurate Warehouse Operations Through Automation & Innovation
ShipBob’s proprietary warehouse management system (WMS) provides unparalleled visibility with real-time updates into your inventory, so you can watch as orders are picked, packed, and shipped — even as it happens outside of your own four walls.
ShipBob’s WMS is used across 100% of ShipBob’s fulfillment centers, so our operations team adhere to the same SLAs and processes from the same platform. If you have your own warehouse in the US, you can also use the ShipBob WMS (for a hybrid approach to in-house and outsourced fulfillment).

ShipBob is a drastic difference from our last 3PL. They listen and quickly get their customers’ needs live in their software. It feels like a really honest and fruitful relationship. I didn’t have to learn different platforms or deal with support representatives at different companies.

Running your own warehouse, you have to go out and hire very experienced people, invest in equipment, build in automation – and often, you’re wasting a lot of time, energy, resources, and human capital for a sub-par result. Why do that when a partner like ShipBob exists, and makes fulfillment so easy at a fair price?

of Taste Salud
Our business’s core strength is marketing; we’re not experts in logistics, so we knew that would never be our internal competitive advantage. So why not outsource logistics to the best people in the industry, who know what they’re doing, and focus our energy on what we’re great at? By partnering with ShipBob, we’re doing just that.

The deciding factor that sold us on ShipBob was price. International fulfillment can be incredibly expensive, but ShipBob was cheaper than our old provider. ShipBob’s software was also much easier to use than our previous provider’s, and gave us a better picture of what was going on with our orders. Even from overseas, it gave us the visibility and control we would expect from a provider in our backyard.

On Black Friday I woke up with a smile on my face because I knew our orders were going out smoothly. This BFCM has been incredible for us. We couldn’t have done it without ShipBob. One of our long-time customers placed an order on Black Friday and her order was delivered that Monday. She couldn’t believe that her order arrived so fast. We’re so happy with the results – ShipBob made it a great success.

FAQs about ecommerce fulfillment services in Dortmund
Below are answers to common questions about fulfillment centers in Dortmund.
Does ShipBob have a fulfillment center in Dortmund?
ShipBob doesn’t have a fulfillment center in Dortmund at this time, but we do have a fulfillment center located in the European Union, including neighboring country the Netherlands.
By using ShipBob, brands can offer fast fulfillment to German customers by utilizing our fulfillment center in the European Union. ShipBob also has fulfillment centers in the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia, so brands can achieve global fulfillment and international shipping. See a full list of fulfillment centers here.
How does the UK impact shipping to/from Dortmund?
Germany is a member of the European Union. Therefore, any shipments to Dortmund from another EU member country (and vice versa) will not be subject to duties or tariffs.
However, shipping from Dortmund to a location that is not part of the EU is more complicated. Brands should be prepared to pay duties and taxes (which can differ depending on the end customer’s location), and to include additional customs documentation.
Whether you’re shipping to or from Dortmund (or any other location), brands can leverage ShipBob as a fulfillment partner to offer fast, cost-effective shipping to customers around the globe.
Can ShipBob ship to Dortmund?
Yes! ShipBob can ship to over 250 destinations from any of our fulfillment centers, including Dortmund, Germany.
Do I need a fulfillment center located in Dortmund?
While many brands think they need a fulfillment center in a city within their home country, the truth is they should follow the data and pick a location based on where their customers are located to keep shipping costs and transit times as low as possible. For example, if your customers are distributed across several regions of the continent, being more distributed within the EU can help you deliver to more customers more efficiently.
Once your order volume justifies it, you can split your inventory across multiple locations and have orders shipped from the closest location each time. ShipBob helps brands understand their data when getting started and provides analytics to customers on how their customer geographic locations change over time to show average savings, shipping zones, and transit time reductions if you change your fulfillment center locations.
Does ShipBob have plans to open a fulfillment center in Dortmund?
We are continuously evolving our warehouse locations, using data and feedback from our customers to decide where to add fulfillment centers.
Where are ShipBob’s fulfillment centers located?
ShipBob has a global fulfillment network with warehouses in the UK, US, Canada, EU, and Australia. We’re constantly expanding our geographic footprint to offer more fulfillment center locations to our customers. With ShipBob, brands can leverage one partner to unlock domestic and international shipping.
