Shipo provides subscription box fulfillment for DTC brands, with engineered kitting, custom-box assembly, and the capacity to ship a full monthly run within a tight window. Subscription brands live and die by the monthly peak, so Shipo builds repeatable kitting workflows, assembles boxes with inserts and branded packaging, and syncs recurring orders from Shopify and Recharge.

What subscription brands need from a 3PL
A subscription box is really a manufacturing-and-shipping event that happens on the same days every month. Hundreds or thousands of identical boxes have to be kitted, assembled, and shipped in a narrow window, then the cycle repeats. The right partner treats the monthly run as a planned production process — engineered kitting, staged components, and the labor to ship the whole batch on time — not a scramble.
How Shipo handles subscription box fulfillment
- Engineered kitting workflows so each box is assembled the same way, every cycle.
- Custom-box assembly with inserts, tissue, and branded packaging.
- Monthly-peak capacity to ship a full run within a tight window.
- Recurring-order sync from Shopify and Recharge so the subscriber list drives the run.
- Component storage and staging for the SKUs that go into each box.
Why an East Coast 3PL keeps subscription costs down
Shipping a whole run at once rewards short zones. From tax-free Wilmington, Delaware, Shipo delivers to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic in 1–2 days by ground, lowering per-box shipping cost for the region where many subscribers live, while Delaware’s 0% sales tax applies to the components and packaging staged at the facility.
