ShipBob
Outsourced ecommerce fulfillment network with inventory software
ShipBob is a inventory & shipping tool for E-commerce and Small businesses, offered as paid. Founded in United States in 2014.
About ShipBob
ShipBob is an ecommerce fulfillment company that stores a brand's inventory in its warehouses, picks, packs and ships orders, and gives merchants software to manage stock and orders across sales channels. It was founded in Chicago in 2014 by Dhruv Saxena and Divey Gulati and went through Y Combinator.
The network spans fulfillment centers in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia, so brands can split inventory to cut shipping zones and offer two-day delivery. The merchant dashboard handles inventory by location, order routing, lot and expiry tracking, kitting, B2B and wholesale orders, returns and analytics, and connects to Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, TikTok Shop and Walmart. Pricing is a custom quote covering implementation, receiving, storage, pick and pack and shipping; the software itself is free for fulfillment customers, and brands that run their own warehouses can license ShipBob's WMS separately.
ShipBob suits growing DTC brands shipping hundreds to thousands of orders a month that no longer want to pack in-house. Costs are opaque until you get a quote, very small shops may find it expensive, and support quality has drawn mixed reviews. ShipStation and Shippo suit brands that still ship themselves, and Cin7 is inventory software rather than a 3PL.
ShipBob says it has fulfilled over one billion units. In 2026 it announced new Foreign Trade Zone warehouses in the Northeast and Midwest, and in August 2026 an AI suite that includes a verified Claude connector. Quote with your real order profile.

Our take
ShipBob is one of the most complete 3PL options for scaling ecommerce brands, with software that is genuinely useful and free. Get quotes from at least one competing 3PL with the same order profile, because total cost depends heavily on storage, SKUs and packaging needs.
