What Sureship does

SureShip is a privately held, founder-owned third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in Maryland, operating a 100,000+ square foot fulfillment center in Capitol Heights with the ability to reach one-third of the U.S. population within 24 hours via proximity to the Port of Baltimore. The company serves enterprise businesses, non-profits, and eCommerce retailers with a portfolio spanning warehousing and distribution, pick-and-pack fulfillment, kitting and assembly, event premium management, branded merchandise (delivered through its G&G Outfitters partnership), and custom eCommerce platform builds. Named clients include BB&T, GEICO, Hilton, PepsiCo, Stanley Black & Decker, AARP, USO, the Smithsonian, and the Washington Capitals.

The underlying technology stack is centered on a proprietary wireless Warehouse Management System with real-time barcode scanning, automated inventory updates, and SSAE 16 Type 2 certified data infrastructure, complemented by API/EDI/XML integration for client order transmission and customizable eCommerce storefronts. Reported operational metrics include 30,000 outbound shipments per day, 3,000 kits assembled per day, a 99.79% perfect order rate, and 30 million cumulative orders shipped since inception.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on fulfillment, storage, and shipping, alongside managed-services revenue from custom eCommerce builds and branded merchandise programs. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year enterprise contracts; no standard pricing is publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales, industry partnerships, content marketing through the company blog and case studies, and SEO-driven inbound via the sureshiponline.com website. The company remains bootstrapped with no external funding rounds, no disclosed acquisitions, and no parent company.
