One of the things that set ShipBob apart from other companies we were considering was the scale at which they’re operating. There were very few providers that could support even one customer that is doing hundreds of thousands of packages in a month, and a lot of the systems would fall apart once you started to scale to any kind of degree. ShipBob’s system is built to handle millions of orders per month, so businesses can scale with peace of mind.

2-Day Express Shipping
ShipBob’s 2-Day Express Shipping enables fast delivery to 100% of the continental US (even from just one fulfillment center). Our proprietary algorithm uses a combination of ground, air, and regional carriers to provide high on-time delivery rate.
While 2-Day Express is available for any of our ecommerce store integrations, our top ecommerce channels can even display 2-day shipping badges and estimated delivery dates on product pages to further increase conversions pre-checkout.
Inventory Distribution & Placement
Split your inventory to be closer to your customers, and get optimal, data-driven fulfillment center location recommendations over time to improve delivery speeds and reduce shipping costs.
ShipBob’s Inventory Placement Program in the US allows high-volume brands to send inventory to one location. Then ShipBob does the rest — from choosing ideal locations and distributing your stock, to proactively rebalancing your inventory levels — giving you time back, lowering your inbound freight costs, and unlocking more affordable 2-day shipping.
Global Expansion
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.
ShipBob WMS
Have your own warehouse in the US? Keep fulfillment in-house with ShipBob’s proprietary warehouse management system. You can even centralize logistics across locations by using our WMS in conjunction with our fulfillment centers in other regions and/or countries.
With ShipBob WMS you get warehouse productivity and performance monitoring, multi-location inventory management, optimized picking routes for efficient retrieval, transportation management for optimized shipping carrier routes, and much more.
Case Studies
Don’t just take our word for it — see why ShipBob is trusted by thousands of merchants
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.

FAQs about ecommerce fulfillment services in Columbus, OH
Does ShipBob have a fulfillment center in Columbus, Ohio?
While we don’t have a Columbus, OH fulfillment center at this time, ShipBob has fulfillment centers located within a few hundred miles of Columbus in multiple directions, providing a relatively fast turnaround to Columbus-based customers when fulfilling orders from these locations. ShipBob has fulfillment centers located throughout the United States and the world. Find a list of fulfillment centers here.
Can ShipBob ship to Columbus, Ohio?
Yes! ShipBob can ship to Columbus from any of its fulfillment centers.
How do shipping zones affect me in Columbus, Ohio?
Shipping zones are determined by the distance a package travels in transit, so end customers in Columbus, Ohio will experience short transit times when using fulfillment centers in the Midwest. When orders come from Midwest and East Coast fulfillment centers, Columbus customers will be in shipping zones 1-4. When using fulfillment centers on the West Coast, end customers in Columbus will experience longer transit times because they’re in shipping zone 8.
ShipBob has several fulfillment centers across the US to help brands offer fast, cost-effective shipping to customers, so brands can even split their inventory for bi-coastal or multi-regional coverage that reduces average shipping zones (and transit times and shipping costs).
Do I need a fulfillment center located in Columbus, Ohio?
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 (and not solely in Ohio), being more centrally located or near highly populous areas 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 Columbus, Ohio 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 located throughout the US and in Canada, the UK, the 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.
