Alaska Fulfilment Services

Ship faster and offer lower prices!

ShipBob uses a distribution method called distributed inventory which allows you to store your inventory in multiple locations across the US (or the globe). This reduces the shipping zones that each package must cross. By bringing your inventory closer to your customer base, you can lower shipping costs and speed up delivery timelines. 

So, if your customers are located across the country, you can choose from our fulfilment centres in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and California (or ship from all of them!). If you want to grow outside of the US and start shipping to Canada or even Europe or Australia, we have fulfilment centres across the globe. With distributed inventory, you’re no longer stuck paying a premium on shipping and passing that cost along to the customer. 

Modern ecommerce customers expect fast, affordable shipping. Since shipping is one of the most important considerations a customer will make before they purchase, offering more shipping options can be a game-changer for ecommerce companies. Our customers often see major benefits in partnering with us including higher average order value, more sales, and faster growth. Not to mention you no longer have to spend time packing boxes!

Distributed inventory

With ShipBob’s network of fulfilment centres, 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.

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 fulfilment 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 fulfilment centres 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 fulfilment cost per order, storage cost per unit, and much more.
