Inventory Distribution & Placement
With ShipBob, you’re not just limited to the location you’ve searched for. While placement is your choice, we can help you find the most optimal inventory split to be closer to your customers and get data-driven fulfilment centre 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 Reach Through One Partner
No matter where your customers are, ShipBob gets you closer to them. With dozens of fulfilment centres across the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, having ShipBob as your sole fulfilment 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.
2-Day Express Shipping
ShipBob’s 2-Day Express Shipping enables fast delivery to 100% of the continental US (even from just one fulfilment centre). Our proprietary algorithm uses a combination of ground, air, and regional couriers 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.
Your Warehouse + ShipBob’s Award-Winning WMS
Have your own warehouse in the US? Keep fulfilment in-house with ShipBob’s proprietary warehouse management system. You can even centralise logistics across locations by using our WMS in conjunction with our fulfilment centres in other regions and/or countries.
With ShipBob WMS you get warehouse productivity and performance monitoring, multi-location inventory management, optimised picking routes for efficient retrieval, transportation management for optimised shipping carrier routes, and much more.

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 didn’t have to learn different platforms or deal with support representatives at different companies.

Running your own warehouse, you have to go out and hire very experienced people, invest in equipment, build in automation – and often, you’re wasting a lot of time, energy, resources, and human capital for a sub-par result. Why do that when a partner like ShipBob exists, and makes fulfilment so easy at a fair price?
Tyler McCann

of Taste Salud
Our business’s core strength is marketing; we’re not experts in logistics, so we knew that would never be our internal competitive advantage. So why not outsource logistics to the best people in the industry, who know what they’re doing, and focus our energy on what we’re great at? By partnering with ShipBob, we’re doing just that.

The deciding factor that sold us on ShipBob was price. International fulfilment 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.

On Black Friday I woke up with a smile on my face because I knew our orders were going out smoothly. This BFCM has been incredible for us. We couldn’t have done it without ShipBob. One of our long-time customers placed an order on Black Friday and her order was delivered that Monday. She couldn’t believe that her order arrived so fast. We’re so happy with the results from Black Friday and Cyber Monday. ShipBob made it a great success.

FAQs about ecommerce fulfilment services in Chesapeake, VA
Below are answers to common questions about Chesapeake fulfilment centres.
Does ShipBob have a fulfilment centre in Chesapeake?

We also have dozens of fulfilment centres across other regions of the US, including the Midwest, Northeast, and West Coast. For a full list of ShipBob’s locations, click here.

How do shipping zones affect me in Chesapeake?
Shipping zones are calculated based on an order’s origin point. The closer an order’s destination is to its origin point, the lower the shipping zone for that order will be; conversely, the farther away an order’s destination is from its origin point, the higher the shipping zone will be.
For brands shipping from Chesapeake, this means that orders shipped within the state or to nearby destinations such as North Carolina or West Virginia will have lower shipping zones, such as Zones 1, 2, or 3. Orders bound for locations in more distant states like California or Oregon will have higher shipping zones, such as Zones 7, 8, or 9.
ShipBob can help brands lower their average shipping zone by distributing their inventory across our network of US fulfilment centres. That way, you can fulfil orders closer to end customers, and provide the fast and affordable shipping they want without breaking the bank.
Do I need a fulfilment centre located in Chesapeake?
While many brands think they need a fulfilment centre 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, 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 fulfilment centre locations.
Does ShipBob have plans to open a Chesapeake fulfilment centre?
We are continuously evolving our warehouse locations, using data and feedback from our customers to decide where to add fulfilment centres.
Where are ShipBob’s fulfilment centres located?
ShipBob has dozens of fulfilment centres across different regions of the US, including the East Coast, West Coast, and Midwest. We also have several fulfilment centres in the UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia, and we are constantly expanding our geographic footprint. Leveraging this ever-growing network, ecommerce brands can handle US and international fulfilment through a single partner and platform.
