👇 Hear from a merchant that uses our Birmingham fulfillment center
We realized we needed a global fulfillment provider as our customers in the UK/EU were tired of paying for international shipping. People often bought two boxes of needles at $30 each and then paid $60 for shipping on top of that. I always wanted a truly global fulfillment partner — I had been trying to find this solution for years.
Today, ShipBob has multiple fulfillment centers in the US, one in Canada, one in the EU, and one in the UK, and all locations filter back into one centralized warehouse management system. By distributing our inventory across these countries and regions, all of our customers are able to get their orders much faster while paying reasonable domestic shipping rates.

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?
Tyler McCann
Co-Founder
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.
