Are ShipNetwork’s delivery times affected by peak seasons?

ShipNetwork is built to maintain consistent delivery performance even during peak seasons. We proactively prepare for high-volume periods such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, holiday sales, and back-to-school campaigns by scaling warehouse operations and optimizing carrier strategies to meet increased demand.

During peak seasons, eCommerce order volume can surge dramatically. To handle this, ShipNetwork expands fulfillment staffing, extends operational hours, and adjusts workflows to ensure orders continue to be picked, packed, and shipped within our guaranteed fulfillment timelines. Our 1-day fulfillment promise still applies, and we prioritize maintaining this standard regardless of seasonal fluctuations.

In addition to operational scaling, we leverage a diversified carrier network to reduce the risk of delays. By analyzing real-time carrier performance and regional shipping data, we adjust routing strategies and switch between partners when needed to maintain optimal transit times. This flexibility ensures your packages are delivered on time, even when traditional carrier networks are under stress.

ShipNetwork also offers tools for advanced inventory planning and shipment forecasting. This allows your team to position inventory across multiple warehouse locations to reduce delivery zones and shorten shipping distances. By doing so, you can reach more customers within two days using ground shipping, which helps keep costs down and delivery times competitive during busy seasons.

We keep clients informed throughout peak periods with proactive communication, including service alerts, inventory insights, and carrier updates. This transparency helps you plan promotions, manage customer expectations, and respond quickly to any external shipping disruptions.

By combining strategic planning, scalable infrastructure, and real-time data analysis, ShipNetwork ensures your business can deliver reliably year-round, no matter how busy the season gets.
