SMB score 8/10/10

Overview

ShipBob is a third-party logistics (3PL) company that stores your inventory, picks and packs your orders, and ships them to customers. You send your products to their fulfillment centers, connect your store with a few clicks, and they handle the rest. Their software is free for all customers and connects to Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, TikTok, and 50+ other platforms. Because ShipBob ships at high volume, they negotiate bulk rates with UPS, USPS, FedEx, and DHL and pass those savings to you. They operate 60+ fulfillment centers worldwide, which means you can store inventory closer to your customers and reduce shipping costs and transit times. Their published accuracy rate is 99.97% and 99.6% of orders ship on time. Standard packaging materials including plain boxes, poly mailers, and tape come at no extra charge.

Features

Best for

ShipBob works best for product-based small businesses shipping at least a few hundred orders per month who want to stop managing their own warehouse or outgrow their current 3PL. It is especially strong for brands selling on multiple channels who need a single fulfillment partner that can handle both direct-to-consumer and wholesale orders.

Why this SMB score

ShipBob earns a strong score for transparent billing, free software, carrier rate savings, and proven results from real customers, but the lack of published pricing and per-service add-on costs require budget-conscious owners to do extra homework before committing.
