Dropship Fulfillment designed to expand your sales

At a2b, we understand the benefits that drop shipping programs have for brands like yours. a2b provides unparalleled execution to help you expand your sales opportunities by leveraging new channels via drop shipping programs.

Drop Shipping is when a retailer sells a product without ever taking physical possession of the goods. Instead, the seller is responsible for the storage, fulfillment, and delivery. This eases the operational load for retailers and enables them to expand their product offerings significantly. It's a boon for aspiring vendors. Examples of Drop Shipping programs are Amazon’s FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant), SFP (Seller Fulfilled Prime), and Walmart DSV.

a2b understands that drop shipping is serious business. Many retailers put forth stringent guidelines. You must consider every aspect of the drop shipment process. From packaging, presentation, and speed of fulfillment to the choice of shipment carrier and service. 

Retailers' #1 goal is to ensure that orders represent their brand well. Detailed data exchanges with your vendors will ensure seamless communications with customers.
