It usually takes about 2-4 weeks to get your inventory into ShipBob's fulfillment center(s) and complete onboarding (unless you have complex needs such as a custom Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integration, which takes slightly longer), but some merchants have completed onboarding in as fast as 7 days. For small companies, usually the owner or Founder will be involved on these calls. For larger companies, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) or Operations Manager will often set up and maintain the relationship with ShipBob, though ShipBob's software has free unlimited users.

An Implementation specialist will be assigned to your account to help you navigate the onboarding process. This individual will help you set up your ShipBob dashboard, lead training sessions tailored to your brand and your needs, and create materials specifically for you. Additionally, your Implementation Specialist will walk you through how to integrate your store(s), set up products, and go live with shipping (whether it's virtually if you outsource fulfillment, or even in person to install our WMS in your warehouse). Your Implementation Specialist will be available to educate and empower you to confidently use the ShipBob dashboard and features.

ShipBob's Merchant Care team will then be your go-to team for day-to-day support, requests, troubleshooting, and resolution. Your account will be assigned a Merchant Care pod, full of support reps who are familiar with your specific needs.

ShipBob does not have any order minimums, though clearly larger brands benefit the most through the ability to distribute product across their warehouse network.

For brands shipping under 400 orders/month, you can tap into their Growth Plan, a self-service onboarding program designed to help pre-launch brands or startups grow their business by outsourcing fulfillment without giving up control.

There are 2 primary types of merchants that can benefit from ShipBob:

• Any brand that wants to outsource fulfillment, from small startups to mid-market/enterprise brands shipping half a million orders/month.
• Any brand that has their own warehouse in the US (generally between 4,000 and 50,000 square feet) and wants to improve their fulfillment strategy, inventory management, picking processes, warehouse organization, and more through ShipBob's Merchant Plus (WMS).For either of these, fulfilling orders for nearly any eCommerce platform works with ShipBob as well as custom carts for tech-savvy brands that want to build an integration using ShipBob's Developer API (in addition to DTC marketplaces and B2B fulfillment).

Roughly 25% of ShipBob's customers are in the beauty and personal care space, 22% sell nutrition and health products, 11% are in apparel and accessories, with the rest being a mix of many other industries.

ShipBob is a great option for brands looking to not just grow but scale. From partnerships with top retailers and marketplaces to integrations with the leading technology eCommerce experts, merchants can easily expand their online presence into physical storefronts. This also makes ShipBob a great option for brands looking to expand internationally. With warehouses in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Australia, as well as cross-border solutions like DDP shipping and partnerships with local tax authorities, they have the tools you need to get started in new markets.

ShipBob is not for dropshippers or anyone else that doesn't have to directly (or through an existing 3PL) ship and manage their inventory. ShipBob is not for digital product sellers, SaaS, or other non-physical goods providers.

The types of orders ShipBob cannot fill include alcohol, refrigerated products, perishables, very large and heavy products (e.g., furniture and mattresses), and carrier-prohibited products. ShipBob works best for lower-SKU count merchants that turn inventory over quickly, though ShipBob can cater to a mix of products and SKU lines.
