Best 3PL Ecommerce Fulfillment Services on the East Coast

East Coast fulfillment services for ecommerce businesses.

Shipping is a critical part of any successful ecommerce strategy. It’s not just about what you sell, but how quickly and affordably you can get products into the hands of customers. Offering your customers better shipping options fosters brand loyalty and results in more sales.

But if you’re only using a single east coast fulfillment center, then shipping to the west coast or heartland will be expensive.

ShipBob is a 3PL that reduces shipping costs and transit times by giving you access to multiple fulfillment centers including their east coast fulfillment center. This allows you to store your products in regions closer to your customer base, so you can ship fast to customers on the east coast and everywhere else.

ShipBob’s partnerships with all the major shipping carriers get you the best rates, and ShipBob’s best-in-class technology streamlines the retail fulfillment process.

Outsource fulfillment to ShipBob and you’ll immediately see an improvement in your bottom line (and your customers will be pleased with lower shipping rates as well).

2-day shipping

Many ecommerce businesses can’t offer affordable 2-day shipping via ground because their fulfillment center is too far from their customers. The shorter shipping distances and faster transit times you get with distributed inventory let you offer 2-day shipping to customers anywhere in the US (without breaking the bank).

Is it time for you to hire a 3PL?

Shipping isn’t usually the strongest point of expertise for most ecommerce businesses, yet the benefit of a 3PL is that they can make shipping one of the strongest points of your business. Faster, cheaper, more efficient shipping gives you an advantage over your competitors. But some businesses can benefit more from a 3PL than others. Here are some signs that your business may be ready:

You lack the infrastructure or resources to scale fulfillment in-house
You are devoting too much manpower to picking, packing, and shipping
Your storage space is overcrowded and disorganized
Your order volume has rapidly increased and you’re struggling to keep up
You have a single east coast fulfillment warehouse and want more cost-effective cross-country shipping.
