ShipBob Updates

?? Join Fulfilled by TikTok, Powered by ShipBob?

As TikTok's US partner for their 'Fulfilled by TikTok' (FBT) program, ShipBob can help you gain access to this invite-only program.

How it works: Once approved, your inventory will be stored and shipped by ShipBob, while TikTok manages order inquiries from your end customers, so you don’t have to troubleshoot “Where is my order?” questions or carrier claim inquiries. TikTok also subsidizes shipping and storage costs.

Featured Case Studies

?? How Bloom Nutrition Scaled to a 9-Figure Brand with ShipBob?

“We’re fulfilling orders from 4 ShipBob fulfillment centers in the US. We’ve been able to engineer it so that most of our shipments are within Zones 1 and 2. Eliminating high shipping zone ranges by distributing inventory is a no-brainer, and really helps us minimize our shipping costs, especially on high-velocity items.”??

- Neil Blewitt, SVP of Operations at Bloom Nutrition

?? How Pick Up Bricks Managed 20x Orders After Shark Tank Holiday Episode With ShipBob Helping Deliver in Time for Christmas?

“After our holiday Shark Tank episode, I looked at the list of orders that were piling up, just wondering if they would ship in time for the holidays. I checked the ShipBob dashboard and saw that all of the orders from the weekend had been processed. That immediately made me a big ShipBob fan. This was a huge relief for us.?? Our last holiday season, we were with our previous 3PL, and it took them over 2 weeks to process orders. Those orders weren’t getting delivered so we had to send replacements via overnight shipping. And even then, many of them didn’t get delivered in time for Christmas. So partnering with ShipBob this year was a major reassurance.”????

- Steven Weinstock, Co-Founder of Pick Up Bricks?

??? How Rugby Bricks Manages 4x Growth in a Year With Partners Like ShipBob?

“We went with ShipBob because their process seemed quite streamlined.Their technology makes setting up rules to send out wristbands and stickers that we send out as a bonus to customers who order our tees really easy.? We’ve grown 266% in the last year due to our audience expanding online and from selling in more retail stores. ShipBob has definitely saved us a lot of time. I also don’t have to worry about whether orders are going out or if anything’s going wrong with them.”??

- Joe Coventry, Marketing & Partnerships Lead at Rugby Bricks?
