ShipBob is a fulfillment service that stores your products and picks, packs, and ships orders through a network of fulfillment centers. It suits a woman running an online store whose order volume has outgrown packing and shipping from home. Early on, monthly minimums make it a poor fit.
Key features
- Fulfillment center network: storage, pick, pack, and ship.
- Major platform integrations: orders sync automatically.
- D2C and B2B orders: in one system.
- Scale without a warehouse: no space to rent.
Pricing
ShipBob does not publish flat pricing, since fees depend on order volume, storage, and shipping zones. Expect separate charges for storage, pick and pack per unit, receiving, and shipping, often with a monthly minimum. Get a written quote with all fees.
Prices change over time. Details above are based on the ShipBob sales team.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| No warehouse or shipping to manage yourself | Custom pricing makes budgeting harder |
| Strong store platform integrations | Monthly minimums do not suit very early stores |
ShipBob vs Shippo
Shippo, also covered on bahiyat, compares shipping rates and prints labels while you pack orders yourself. ShipBob handles storage, packing, and shipping entirely once volume is high.
Who it’s best for
Women running online stores with steady, growing orders who want to hand off fulfillment.
Skip it if your store is new or orders are few, or if its centers are far from your market.
How to get started
Work out your monthly orders and product sizes, request a detailed quote, and compare it with your current fulfillment cost.
