Case Study: A Year of Dates grows US sales by over 600% with ShipBob

How UK Brand A Year of Dates Grew Their US Sales Over 600% with ShipBob

A Year of Dates, a UK-based ecommerce brand selling gift boxes of date ideas, was struggling to serve its growing US customer base. Using Royal Mail, orders to America were taking 3–4 weeks to arrive, and a previous US fulfillment provider created visibility and shipping issues, making it hard to manage orders efficiently.

To solve this, A Year of Dates switched its US fulfillment to ShipBob’s ecommerce fulfillment service. ShipBob helped cut lead times from 3 weeks to 3 days, get the brand shipping in just 10 days, and support higher conversion and sales growth; US orders grew from 5% to 35% of total orders, and the company reported over 600% growth in US sales.
