Fulfillment & 3PL

ShipBob is one of the largest ecommerce-focused 3PL providers in the United States, operating 40+ fulfillment centers across the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia. Their supplement fulfillment division offers temperature-controlled, GFSI-certified, and GMP-certified warehouses specifically equipped for dietary supplements. ShipBob's platform provides lot number and expiration date tracking from receiving through fulfillment, with FEFO (First Expired, First Out) picking logic to ensure oldest inventory ships first. The company integrates with major ecommerce platforms including Shopify, Amazon, and WooCommerce. Notable supplement clients include Ancestral Supplements. ShipBob has raised over $330 million in venture funding and serves thousands of brands. Their scale provides competitive shipping rates and 2-day delivery coverage across the continental US, but smaller brands may receive less personalized attention compared to a regional supplement-specialist 3PL.

ShipMonk operates fulfillment centers across the US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe with dedicated temperature-controlled storage for dietary supplements. Their FDA-registered, GFSI-certified facilities maintain climate control required for supplement potency and shelf-life preservation. ShipMonk's proprietary platform provides lot number tracking, expiration date management, and FIFO inventory management specifically designed for regulated health products. The company supports subscription box fulfillment for recurring supplement orders. ShipMonk has temperature-controlled facilities in New Jersey, Nevada, and Texas. Founded in 2014, ShipMonk merged with ShipHero's 3PL division and has grown to serve thousands of DTC brands. Their technology platform is a key differentiator, offering real-time inventory visibility and automated reorder alerts. They are particularly well-suited for mid-size supplement brands doing $5M-$100M in annual revenue.

Shipfusion operates over 1,000,000 sq ft of warehouse space across four locations: Chicago, Las Vegas, York (Pennsylvania), and Toronto. All US facilities are FDA-registered and SQF (Safe Quality Food) certified. The Toronto facility is Health Canada approved. Shipfusion maintains isolated temperature-controlled areas in all warehouses, keeping storage under 68°F for supplement potency preservation. They comply with GMP and HACCP standards. Shipfusion's technology platform provides advanced lot tracking, expiration date management, and real-time inventory visibility. The company handles subscription fulfillment, retail distribution, and DTC ecommerce orders. Their SQF certification is notable — it is a GFSI-benchmarked standard that goes beyond basic food safety requirements. Shipfusion is well-suited for supplement brands selling across multiple channels (DTC, retail, Amazon) that need FDA-compliant fulfillment with lot traceability across the entire order lifecycle.

NovEx Supply Chain operates FDA-registered, climate-controlled fulfillment centers in Salt Lake City, Utah and Memphis, Tennessee. Their strategic dual-location model provides 2-day ground shipping to over 90% of US addresses. NovEx specializes in nutraceutical fulfillment, handling vitamins, minerals, herbal blends, and nutrition products with lot number tracking, expiration date management, and serialized inventory control. The company positions itself as a compliance-focused 3PL, maintaining FDA and ISO standards throughout the fulfillment process. NovEx is a smaller, specialized 3PL compared to ShipBob or ShipMonk, which typically means more hands-on account management and flexibility for supplement-specific requirements. However, they have fewer facility locations and less global reach than the larger providers.
