Receiving Hubs

Hub-Centered Distribution Network 

Streamline inbound receiving and distribution.

New dedicated receiving hubs are transforming our fulfillment network in the US to improve reliability and accuracy while giving you complete visibility and inventory tracking at every step.

Send inventory to select ShipBob hub locations that specialize in receiving your inbound inventory accurately and quickly. Then, goods are transferred to your (final) regional fulfillment center location, where they are stowed and ready to ship to your customers.

ShipBob’s US-based SoCal and Midwest hubs are live, with Northeast and Texas hubs launching over the spring and summer months.

Inventory Placement Early Access

Send your inventory to one location and let us do the rest.

Inventory Placement helps you distribute your inventory across the US, so your team doesn’t have to manage multi-location inbound shipments or identify the most optimal fulfillment center locations. New for Spring, we’ve released dashboard enhancements to:

  • Generate ideal distribution in seconds based on historical trends and current on-hand inventory levels. 
  • View exactly how WROs are being distributed directly from your merchant dashboard with granular quantity and timeline statuses updated in real-time.
  • Leverage new built-in flexibility to turn off auto distribution when you need to send your inventory to a single region.

Inventory Placement is available by request in the US for high-volume brands.

Restock Return to Sender Lot Products

Increase returns efficiency for lot products.

Say goodbye to quarantined or discarded inventory from returned lot items! ShipBob now offers the ability to restock lot products (or products with expiration dates) that are Returned to Sender (RTS). 

This new release includes new options on how to manage your lot products, along with photo attachments of products that were restocked, quarantined, or disposed of.

Learn more.

Assign Orders to the Highest Priority FC

Optimize for the lowest fulfillment cost, every time.

Your supply chain? Your rules. Now, you can assign orders to the highest-priority fulfillment center, even when inventory isn’t immediately available.

Orders can be automatically allocated to the closest facility to the shopper, irrespective of inventory levels to ensure the lowest cost and quickest time in transit once inventory is replenished. Reach out to our team to enable this new order allocation rule!

BigCommerce Inventory Sync

Prevent overselling, and display stock levels in real time. 

Say goodbye to manual inventory updates when you enable these new ShipBob features for your BigCommerce store:

Inventory sync: Auto-sync inventory counts between BigCommerce and ShipBob every ~15 minutes. Inventory quantity will only update in BigCommerce if ShipBob shows lower stock levels (or if ShipBob has a stock increase due to restocking, warehouse receiving orders, etc.).

Inventory threshold: Prevent overselling by specifying a safety buffer when syncing ShipBob inventory quantities with BigCommerce. If a SKU’s quantity falls below the value you set, we will post 0 as the sellable quantity back to BigCommerce.

  • A token history to view who generated tokens and when
  • A maximum active tokens of 10 per account

B2B Order Timestamps & Photos

Improve B2B order visibility, and prevent retailer chargebacks.

Are you looking for a way to fight costly chargebacks from retailers? This new ShipBob feature provides you with timestamps detailing when a freight or prepaid parcel order has been sorted and picked up.

This gives you visibility into outbound orders, along with the ability to combat expensive retailer chargebacks with photo attachments. 

FBA Prep

Gain FBA prep improvements that ensure FBA compliance

Having your Amazon Seller Account suspended due to non-compliant FBA prep orders costs your business thousands in lost sales. Ensure compliance through ShipBob’s 3-part validation process during the packing process.

Our team will confirm your shipments are fulfilled on time, and within Amazon’s mandated dims and weights. We’ve also improved tracking visibility with linked tracking URLs on your ShipBob dashboard. To get started, connect your Amazon Seller Central account.

Partial Shipment Rules GIF

Self-Serve Partial Shipment Rules

Get orders into customers’ hands faster.

Rather than have orders go into exception and manually split them when not all items are available in a single fulfillment center, reduce the operational burden and optimize for timely delivery with partial shipment rules.

Now available to enable from your ShipBob dashboard, you can set a maximum number of shipments per order, turn on partial backorders, and enable split shipments from international sites.

Learn more.

Inventory Placement Early Access

Unlock cheaper 2-day shipping in the US.

Inventory Placement helps your team reduce operational complexity and costs — and your customers will love it too.

Inventory Placement is available by request in the US for high order volume brands.
