ShipBob’s order fulfilment services for NYC based ecommerce companies

ShipBob has multiple order fulfilment centres strategically placed across to the United States, including one in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania that provides guaranteed 2-day shipping to the greater New York City area. If you’re looking for a New York fulfilment centre, learn why ShipBob is a great option.

When choosing a 3PL, you want to make sure they’re offering the services you need. These are just some of the benefits of outsourcingecommerce fulfilment to ShipBob.

Distributed inventory

ShipBob’s fulfilment centre in the Northeast is part of a network of warehouses that allows ShipBob’s clients to strategically distribute their inventory across the United States. This practice, called distributed inventory, helps ecommerce retailers fulfil orders more quickly and affordably than self-fulfillment or storing all inventory at one centralised location. You can efficiently reach your customer in New York city while saving lots of money on shipping costs and warehousing.

Working with a third-party fulfilment provider that owns its own fulfilment centre network provides a wide variety of benefits for your ecommerce store, including the ability to offer two-day shipping to customers across the continental US.

Inventory management 

With ShipBob, it’s fast and easy to track inventory levels so you know when to repurchase items or send additional inventory to their fulfilment centres, ensuring that customers never experience a stockout. ShipBob even sends automatic reorder notifications when your inventory runs low. Working with a third-party fulfilment provider can help you manage inventory in an efficient and transparent way, even when it is stored in the fulfilment centre.

Order management

When you need to track the delivery of a package, look up customer information, or pull up order metrics, it’s easy to do from the ShipBob dashboard. It’s updated in real-time and always available. ShipBob’s easy-to-use software allows you to track the entire fulfilment process in any of their fulfilment centre in real time.

“I love that you can view orders based on when they are processing, completed, on hold, and in other stages. It is super helpful for us to have that and track the order every step of the way.”

Ines Guien, Vice President of Operations at Dossier

In addition, ShipBob integrates with the major ecommerce platforms, which helps automate the retail fulfilment process in a way that saves you time and money, making it easier for orders to be picked, packed, and shipped as soon as they are submitted.

Guaranteed support

Above all else, as a third party logistics company, ShipBob wants to help your business grow and succeed, so we guarantee high-quality service to our clients, including same-day fulfilment for all orders placed by noon locally. You can also reach our dedicated fulfilment experts by submitting a ticket through the dashboard itself. We also staff our own fulfilment centres, so there are always representatives at our fulfilment centres to help you succeed.

ShipBob works with New York City brands

New York-based brand, iloveplum, has been using ShipBob’s fulfilment services for a couple years, and they’re not limited to shipping from one location. Even though they’re located near their East Coast fulfilment centre, they found it’s actually more advantageous for them to ship from elsewhere.

After analising their order history, they chose to first store inventory in ShipBob’s centrally-located Dallas fulfilment centre to efficiently reach the majority of where our orders are shipped to: the midwest, south, and east coast.

“If we kept shipping only from New York, it would be expensive to ship to the west coast. Since partnering with ShipBob, we’ve been able to scale our business from $300,000 in sales per year to over $1.1 million due to infrastructure, technology, and scalability improvements.”

Ryan Casas, COO of iloveplum
