Case Study: Metal Garden Beds streamlines seasonal shipping and absorbs spring surges with ShipStation

Metal Garden Beds cuts label processing from 3–4 minutes to 20 seconds with ShipStation

Metal Garden Beds, a company that ships heavy, oversized steel garden beds, faced the challenge of handling a 30-40% seasonal spike in shipping volume each spring without adding extra staff or encountering system failures. Their old manual process was slow and error-prone, making it impossible to scale for their peak season. They needed a reliable shipping solution from a vendor like ShipStation.

ShipStation provided the solution by automating order intake from Shopify and enabling batch label printing via UPS. This integration eliminated manual data entry, reducing label processing time from 3-4 minutes to just 20 seconds per order. As a result, Metal Garden Beds successfully absorbed their 40% peak season volume increase without adding shipping staff and has experienced zero shipping errors since implementation.
