Who they are.

Drop is an American eCommerce website which was founded in 2012. It empowers passionate people to take part in product development, creating inventive and diverse products for a community of over 7 million people. Drop uses data and insights from the community to develop a final product that feeds their interests in things like audio, mechanical keyboards, apparel, outdoors and cooking. The Drop community can also learn, share, shop and participate in product development through polls, discussions and interest checks. Its logistics and fulfillment activities in China are handled by Shipkoo, which provides them with reliable shipping solutions all around the world.

Challenge

Drop believes that the best way to make good product is to tap the knowledge and ideas of passionate people. There are many challenges for Drop but the main pain point is fulfilling products to their community quickly because customer’s taste is changing day by day and community can drive complicated designs.

Solution

By using Shipkoo’s e-commerce origin fulfillment model, Drop has been able to save both time and costs. Origin fulfillment reduced the amount of time that customers have to spend waiting for the product. Instead of sending a regular flow of goods to Drop’s warehouses in the US, Shipkoo sends the shipment directly from the fulfillment center in China as soon as it receives an order. End-to-end service enables to spend less time to wait for inventory in a US warehouse and then resending it to the customer.

Improvement

With Shipkoo, Drop has found that it has reduced warehousing costs by 60%, operating costs by 70%, transit time by 4 days and sales taxes by over 5%. The following three aspects are highly improved:
