Paul Chaney says, “If you run a small ecommerce business or are a brick and mortar retailer that also sells online, you need to know about ShipBob, a “next generation” fulfillment service that provides Amazon-scale same-day delivery for orders placed in Chicago, New York City and Los Angeles. But more than that, the company offers shipping services for merchants and customers outside these metro areas, too.

Actually, ShipBob offers two services: a software platform that the company lets businesses use for free to manage orders, inventory and customer communication. On the back end, it provides physical logistics to warehouse inventory and fill orders.

“ShipBob is not an old-school logistics provider but a next generation fulfillment center,” said ShipBob co-founder Divey Gulati in a telephone interview with Small Business Trends. “We’re located close to end consumers and merchants in three metropolitan areas — Chicago, New York and Los Angeles — which lets us give Amazon Prime Now style same-day pickup and delivery services“.
