ShipBob grew by solving the most painful problem for DTC brands: fast, affordable shipping without Amazon dependence. Their Shopify integration made signup frictionless, and their pricing model aligned incentives: they make money when merchants sell more. When your pricing model means your success equals your customer success, growth happens naturally.
