Our Customers
Don’t just take our word for it — see why ShipBob is trusted by industry-leading brands
ShipBob automatically selects the best delivery method for us so it costs us less and our customers get faster shipping. We’re saving hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, just in postage. ShipBob has helped us save 40% on total fulfilment costs.Adam LaGesse,
Global Warehousing Director at Spikeball
There are so many growth opportunities on the table for us – and because ShipBob offers so many different solutions and growth levers, we’re able to leverage our existing partnership to scale instead of having to go out and find different providers for every new expansion.Jessica Cedarleaf,
VP of Operations at Tonies
The way our manufacturer prepares the cartons, ShipBob doesn’t even need to pick and pack B2B orders – it just needs to be labelled and then it’s ready to send out. ShipBob seamlessly manages those orders and gets them out. Our retail partners are significantly happier since we’ve made the change to ShipBob.Courtney Trevino,
VP of Finance & Ops at BRUCE BOLT
FEATURES
Fulfilment features tailored to your brand’s needs

One network and global pool of inventory

.

Customisation Suite
ShipBob’s Customizations Suite enables your business to create unforgettable unboxings that will delight your customers. Brands can use their own custom branded boxes and poly mailers, include marketing inserts to encourage repeat purchasing, and even give customers the option to include personalised gift notes.

Scalable fulfilment for peak seasons
ShipBob is built to handle any surge in demand, from seasonal spikes to viral product drops. With real-time insights into inventory, order status, and transit times, we ensure increasing order volumes are fulfilled quickly and accurately. Our data-driven forecasting prepares inventory across our network to keep operations running smoothly.
Using wearable devices and our proprietary WMS, our fulfilment associates can ramp up faster on things like barcode scanning and system checks. This efficiency reduces training time, optimises labour usage, and ultimately lowers costs for you. Plus, our batch picking capabilities optimise efficiency for large volumes of the same order, allowing us to pass on cost savings from reduced operational overhead to you.

Returns
Processing returns should be as easy as processing orders – and with ShipBob, it can be. Brands can handle both return-to-sender and customer-initiated returns through ShipBob, and we will restock, dispose of, or quarantine returned products automatically according to your preference. You can also access direct integrations with partners like Loop and AfterShip to provide shoppers with a seamless returns experience.

Omnichannel fulfilment through a single partner
ShipBob makes it easy to fulfil retail dropshipping and distribution orders, so you can reach customers wherever they shop while accessing real-time visibility and control across sales channels. Our solution lets you keep a shared pool of inventory that can be used for any DTC, B2B, or marketplace order. This flexibility helps prevent overstocking and stockouts, keeping cash flow healthy by ensuring you’re not tying up capital in excess inventory for a single channel. Our B2B fulfilment associates adhere to strict retailer guidelines to preserve your relationships and mitigate chargebacks, manage routing, and handle different carton configurations with expertise.

Connectivity & integrations
ShipBob’s turnkey integrations with all major ecommerce channels and tools – including Shopify, NetSuite, SPS Commerce, Gorgias, Klaviyo, Loop, After Ship, and more – enable you to grow your business smarter, faster, and stronger than ever before.
You can access the 50+ integrations on our App Store directly from your ShipBob dashboard to connect your tech stack to power your business and leverage ShipBob’s Developer API for custom builds.
