Ship Monk isn't just a 3PL; we're a growth partner for merchants
. We provide cutting-edge technology and a network of owned and operated fulfillment centers that empower high-growth e‑commerce and DTC brands to stress less and grow more. With over 2,500 employees across five countries, we're on a mission to revolutionize fulfillment by providing everything from the fastest click‑to‑delivery and real‑time inventory to custom solutions—all with a merchant‑first mindset.

We believe in building for the long term, and our success is powered by five key differentiators that help us become true partners to our merchants.

• Global Fulfillment Network: Our 12+ owned and operated fulfillment centers span the US, Canada, Mexico, the U.K., and Mainland Europe. We never outsource, ensuring quality and consistency.
• Proprietary Technology: We’ve eliminated the need for tribal knowledge with our AI‑powered platform. It provides a real‑time, unified view of inventory and orders, giving our merchants the control and visibility they need to succeed.
• Unrivaled Support: We provide hands‑on, “mom and pop” support with a global reach. Our dedicated teams are on‑site at every fulfillment center, ready to jump into action.
• Transparent Pricing: We believe in honest, long‑term partnerships. Our all‑inclusive pricing means predictable costs, with no hidden fees or surprises.
• Committed to the Future: We invest over $10 million annually in research and development to ensure our technology and services continually evolve, helping merchants plant roots with a partner who is here to stay.

• Merchant‑first: We handle the logistics so our merchants can focus on what they do best—growing their business.
• Own it: We take ownership of our work, our mistakes, and our successes.
• People make Ship Monk: We believe in our team and invest in our people.
• Change the score: We challenge the status quo, constantly innovating and improving.
• Get sh
  * t done: We’re a fast‑paced, high‑growth company that values action and results.
