Shipwire

Running a retail business doesn’t have to involve so much grinding work on storage and shipping. With a few clicks on Shipwire’s Web site, a growing business can arrange to have inventory sent to Shipwire warehouses, integrate Shipwire with their Web site and start fulfilling customer orders in real-time.

Shipwire handles the storage, the packing, the shipping and other logistical details from warehouses in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Toronto, with more scheduled to come online around the world.

Once the domain of large enterprises, Shipwire enables garage startups, Web entrepreneurs, seasonal businesses and importers to have multiple warehouses and automated order fulfillment at their fingertips. Rather than deal with the hassles of storage and shipping, why not leverage Shipwire and start spending your valuable time growing your business.

Shipwire plans start at $30 a month and are easy enough to operate online that the whole setup process takes less than 15 minutes to set up. We even offer a free trial so that merchants can try before they buy.
