Launch Grow Joy: How to Pick the Right Order Fulfillment Model

launch-grow-joy:-how-to-pick-the-right-order-fulfillment-model

Launch Grow Joy and Nicholas Daniel-Richards talk about order fulfillment for your online store.

Our own Nicholas Daniel-Richards recently teamed up with Andreea Matei at Launch Grow Joy to explain the different order fulfillment models that ecommerce businesses can utilize.

Option 1: In-house

Storing the inventory, picking, packing, shipping, all done by your company.

To DIY, you’ll need space to house your inventory, and efficient processes to handle orders and ship in a timely manner, not to mention a process for handling returns. Overhead costs are high to house inventory yourself, but this rewards your business full autonomy.

Option 2: Outsource to a third party

Hand your inventory over to 3PL and smart fulfillment companies like ShipHero who invest heavily in infrastructure and software to create global networks of warehouses and to provide a wide array of cutting-edge fulfillment capabilities.

Option 3: Dropshipping (goods ship directly from the manufacturer)

Dropshipping is when the manufacturer ships directly to the consumer, completely bypassing the retailer. This is typically used by businesses that are just starting that don’t have the capital for inventory, so the price to start a business is low.

When it comes to each option, there are pros and cons that store owners must consider.
