Minnesota Fulfillment Services

Big-box retailers like Amazon and Wal-Mart have the ability to offer fast shipping because they have a distribution network in every state in the country. But smaller ecommerce merchants based in states like Minnesota often don’t have the infrastructure and technology to compete with bigger brands and marketplaces.

ShipBob is a third-party logistics (3PL) provider with an extensive distribution infrastructure. With our growing fulfillment network, rather than relying on a single fulfillment center in Minnesota, you can store your inventory across the US, save time on fulfillment, and offer your customers better shipping options.

Thanks to ShipBob, we’re able to reduce shipping costs by being closer to the end consumer and splitting inventory. We had inventory in 4 ShipBob warehouses, and we just added 3 more.

Boost AOV and reduce cart abandonment

Splitting your inventory across multiple fulfillment locations (both domestic and internationally) is simple.

ShipBob has fulfillment centers across the globe. Once you know where your customers are, you can strategically distribute inventory across the fulfillment centers closest to them. When an order is placed, it’s routed to the optimal fulfillment center and our team picks, packs, and ships the order. 

Shipping is one of the most important considerations an ecommerce customer will make. If shipping costs are too high or delivery timelines are too long, customers are likely to abandon their carts. Removing these common barriers to purchase will improve average order value (AOV) and reduce cart abandonment.

With ShipBob, your fulfillment is on autopilot: we take care of the nitty-gritty details like warehouse management, picking and packing, shipping, and returns, and you get full visibility into the fulfillment process from your ShipBob dashboard.

Distributed inventory

With ShipBob’s network of fulfillment centers, you can strategically split your inventory across our locations to get your products from point A to point B more quickly and affordably. Storing inventory near your customers helps reduce the shipping zones and costs associated with shipping orders to faraway destinations.

Distributed inventory also helps you stay competitive by offering fast shipping to your customers. When an order is placed, ShipBob’s algorithm automatically selects the warehouse and carrier that will give you the quickest turnaround at the best price. This strategy has helped our merchants bring 13% savings to their bottom line.

100% Coverage Across the Continental US

If you’re looking to expand into the United States, ShipBob has 2-Day Express Shipping that provides 100% coverage in the continental US from even just one fulfillment center.

You can also distribute your inventory across ShipBob’s fulfillment centers across all regions of the United States. We leave it up to you to decide where you want us to store your inventory.

Order management

At ShipBob, we track your orders from A to Z. Filter orders by status, search for specific orders, see a quick timeline view of where your order is in the fulfillment process (e.g. when an order is picked, packed, or shipped), easily find shipping-related information (e.g., weights, dimensions, or carrier service), and get a quick snapshot of any orders that require action.

With order management software for your direct-to-consumer and wholesale shipments, you can manage subscriptions, make changes to your orders post-purchase, map your store’s shipping options to ShipBob, and automatically share tracking information with your customers.

Reporting and analytics

To provide you with visibility into our operations and performance, and also hold ourselves accountable, ShipBob’s free analytics tool is packed with charts to help you with everything from year-end reporting, to better supply chain decision-making.

Data can be a competitive advantage, and our reports show an analysis of which fulfillment centers you should stock, days of inventory left before you run out, impact of promotions on stock levels, each shipping method’s average cart value, shipping cost, and days in transit, your fulfillment cost per order, storage cost per unit, and much more.

End-to-end customer experience

We care about the customer experience as much as you and strive to be an extension of your team. From custom branded boxes to free plain packaging, ShipBob works with you to provide the unboxing experience you want. We also help you offer the fastest, most cost-effective shipping options to meet your customers’ expectations.

As soon as an order ships, tracking is pushed back to your store. We also offer return management services, allowing customers to generate return shipping labels and track returns, while getting your products processed and back into your available inventory as efficiently as possible.
