As we grow our business, we know we have the support from ShipBob to grow beyond the UK. Since Brexit, like many small UK businesses, we’ve struggled with the challenges to maintain our international sales. With new time back to focus on growth and ShipBob’s international footprint, we look forward to doubling down our international efforts.

ShipBob WMS

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).

If someone is going to treat your products like their own, that’s the most you can hope for in a fulfillment partner. ShipBob does exactly that. The customer experience and brand consistency is really important to us, so to receive that level of support from ShipBob means so much to us. Because we don’t operate our own warehouse, we need to trust a 3PL team that is going to be invested in delivering our products to the best of their ability.

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 log on to our ShipBob account and see everything in one place, no matter if I’m looking at our facility in Kankakee, IL, or the ShipBob fulfillment centers in Canada or Europe. I didn’t have to learn different platforms or deal with support representatives at different companies.

Not all fulfillment companies are created equal. Before we partnered with ShipBob, we worked with a 3PL. When we went viral in 2016 and suddenly had thousands of additional orders to fill, we knew we had to outsource to a different 3PL that could give us the attention we needed, regardless of our size. We moved to ShipBob, and have received dedicated support ever since! We know that the next time we go viral, we will always be ready.

at Food Huggers

In my experience, ShipBob is a lot more clear and transparent about what customers can expect compared to the other 3PL we used. ShipBob’s analytics dashboard is quite helpful and straightforward. It’s really helpful to have that level of visibility so we don’t have to constantly email back and forth, asking when things will be completed. It saves a lot of time and helps set expectations appropriately.

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.

We’re partnering with ShipBob for every aspect of our shipping, fulfillment, and storage, and we’re relying on them to continue to come up with better technology and solutions, figuring out ways to improve not only the service levels for us, but also cut down on costs. That way, we can leave logistics to ShipBob and keep focusing on what’s most important to use: serving our customers.

Does ShipBob have a fulfillment center in Sunderland? 

While we don’t have a fulfillment center Sunderland at this time, ShipBob has a fulfillment center presence in the UK.  

Brands can offer fast fulfillment to customers based in Sunderland when utilizing a ShipBob fulfillment center in the UK. ShipBob also has fulfillment centers in Europe, the USA, Canada, and Australia, so brands can achieve global fulfillment and international shipping. Find a list of fulfillment centers here

How does the EU impact shipping to/from Sunderland? 

Sunderland is located in England, which is a part of the UK. As such, any shipments sent from another country in the UK to Sunderland, or from Sunderland to another country in the UK, will not be subject to duties or tariffs.   

Shipping from Sunderland to a destination that is not part of the UK is more complicated. The UK is not a member of the European Union, and as such, any shipments to Sunderland from an EU member country, and vice versa, will be subject to duties or tariffs (which can differ depending on the end country), and will require additional customs documentation. 

Whether you’re shipping to or from Sunderland (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 Sunderland? 

Yes! ShipBob can ship to Sunderland from any of its fulfillment centers.  

Do I need a fulfillment center located in Sunderland? 

While many brands think they need a fulfillment center in their backyard, 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 country – or even the continent – being more distributed across the UK and 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 Sunderland fulfillment center? 

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, EU, Canada, the US, 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.
