Show Notes
According to Shopify sales data, "merchants on Shopify generated peak sales of nearly $3.1 million per minute at 12:02 PM EST on Black Friday, and merchants crossed $1 billion in sales by 4:00am EST, four hours earlier than Black Friday in 2020."
Now we have to get all that product delivered. In 2020, that was a problem. Is it an issue this year?
CMO of ShipBob, Casey Armstrong, joins to tell us. The global 3PL ships millions of orders per month for over 7,000 brands across a network of 30 fulfillment centers worldwide. They track and publish carrier fulfillment data which they'll share with us in this episode.
After a BFCM breakdown, we discuss common questions around outsourcing fulfillment, and the future of fulfillment.
