Having grown up on the east coast of the US, he was very comfortable surfing, diving, and spearfishing, and spent most of his time in the water.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Then when he was 18, a close friend of his was badly attacked by a bull shark. For Nate, it was a wake-up call; a new awareness emerged, and along with it, a faint idea for a wearable safety device that someone could use to prevent these sorts of incidents.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Over the next few years, further shark attacks impacting acquaintances pushed Nate and his father to get serious about developing their idea into an actual product. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>By that point, Nate\u2019s role as project management liaison for a footwear company had equipped him with product design, marketing, manufacturing, and sales skills, and he was ready to take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharkbanz.com\/\">Sharkbanz<\/a> from a dream on a drawing board to reality on shelves.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>In collaboration with scientists, their team licensed the patent to a shark repellent technology that was small, required no batteries or charging, and wouldn\u2019t impact performance \u2014 perfect for the wristband they envisioned. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Finally, after building prototypes and personally testing them in shark-filled waters, Sharkbanz launched in Fall of 2014 and shipped their first order in January 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>We sat down with Sharkbanz Co-Founder Nate Garrison to learn more about Sharkbanz\u2019s fulfilment journey, their expansion into Australia, and how they utilised FreightBob to save their Black Friday Cyber Monday sales.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sharkbanz Baited Leg Test Compilation - Proven Shark Deterrent\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xdjIA4ECADY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-mom-and-pop-warehouses-to-shipbob\">From mom-and-pop warehouses to ShipBob<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As told to ShipBob by Nathan Garrison, Founder &amp; CEO of Sharkbanz.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we first started the company, we only sold direct-to-consumer through our Shopify store, so fulfilling orders wasn\u2019t a huge issue \u2014 but once we started to gain traction and then expanded to selling through retailers, we realized that we needed to outsource fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We initially partnered with a small mom-and-pop warehouse in Georgia, but they were also running their own sunscreen company at the same time and weren\u2019t able to offer us nearly the level of support and dedication we needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then tried using a larger, more established 3PL service, but their services and technology weren\u2019t user-friendly at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we found ShipBob, which gave us the best of both worlds and offered a true fulfilment platform. Our Merchant Success Manager provides excellent customer service, and ShipBob\u2019s merchant-facing software is really intuitive to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can offer 2-day shipping across the US thanks to ShipBob\u2019s fulfilment centre network and be consistent with our most important service levels: receiving times, fulfilment cutoffs, and shipping speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love that ShipBob integrates directly to our website and our other ecommerce software we use, and that it gives us real-time data on inventory, order volume, warehouse processes, and shipments. Discovering that one provider could deliver all of these capabilities was a game-changer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271309758_343052174000213_770089751422583976_n.jpg?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2744\" style=\"width:329px;height:503px\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271309758_343052174000213_770089751422583976_n.jpg?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271309758_343052174000213_770089751422583976_n.jpg?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271309758_343052174000213_770089751422583976_n.jpg?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271309758_343052174000213_770089751422583976_n.jpg?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271309758_343052174000213_770089751422583976_n.jpg?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271449829_117686344104826_3530289778517330096_n.jpg?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2750\" style=\"width:307px;height:223px\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271449829_117686344104826_3530289778517330096_n.jpg?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271449829_117686344104826_3530289778517330096_n.jpg?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271449829_117686344104826_3530289778517330096_n.jpg?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271449829_117686344104826_3530289778517330096_n.jpg?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/271449829_117686344104826_3530289778517330096_n.jpg?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-having-one-partner-for-both-dtc-and-retail-fulfillment\">Having one partner for both DTC and retail fulfilment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we initially used ShipBob exclusively for our retail fulfilment, we quickly outsourced DTC fulfilment to them as well once we experienced how easy and effective it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ShipBob\u2019s omnifulfillment solution could handle every sort of order we had, including retail, DTC, and B2B, and had no qualms whatsoever about facilitating our FBA prep orders for Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multichannel fulfilment with ShipBob is affordable, too, as not having to do any shipping ourselves enables us to keep low overhead, and ShipBob\u2019s transparent pricing across channels provides even more cost-savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re currently fulfilling 100% of our orders through three of ShipBob\u2019s fulfilment centres, as we\u2019ve done for the last couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With ShipBob, we can fulfil both DTC orders and orders for our retail partners (including Leisure Pro, Divers Direct, Swim Pro, and small surf shops in Hawaii) through a single solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been a massive help to centralise and funnel everything through one reliable fulfilment partner, especially going into next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201c<em>Outsourcing both retail and DTC order fulfilment to ShipBob really just gave us the flexibility that we needed to effectively grow our business \u2014 not just the DTC segment, but the retail segment also.

We not only cut down our shipping time from Hong Kong to LA significantly, but even saved money doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to ShipBob\u2019s freight program, we had no stress and were super well-stocked for the rest of the year and into next, without any kind of inventory issues that have plagued us in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once picked up from the port, ShipBob cross-docked it from California to Pennsylvania, while keeping some inventory in California too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it turned out, our sales for BFCM exceeded expectations \u2014 so we were lucky that we had FreightBob to deliver extra inventory so quickly, including the ocean freight portion that they orchestrated with Flexport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were in a tough spot, and I don\u2019t think we would have been able to fulfil all of our retail orders across every single SKU throughout the entire BFCM holiday period without it.
