What EcoShip does

EcoShip is a third-party logistics (3PL) provider based in Reading, Pennsylvania, that offers pick, pack, and ship fulfillment services to small and mid-sized e-commerce brands. Founded in 2018 as Hawkridge Fulfillment by Jake and Molly Higley, the company rebranded to EcoShip in January 2023 to emphasize a sustainability-focused positioning. EcoShip operates a single warehouse facility serving as both storage and distribution hub, with services including receiving, storage, kitting, custom branded inserts, B2B wholesale fulfillment, DTC fulfillment, sustainable packaging, and returns handling.

The company's underlying technology is a proprietary order management and fulfillment platform with native integrations to roughly fourteen e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, eBay, Walmart, Etsy, Squarespace, Magento, BigCartel, Miva, Weebly, PrestaShop, and Jet) and four shipping carriers (UPS, USPS, DHL, FedEx). The system provides real-time visibility into stock, orders, and shipments through a centralized dashboard and automates order flow from connected storefronts. Right-size box optimization and 100% biodegradable, compostable, recyclable packaging are core product features, and B Corp certification is in progress.

EcoShip generates revenue on a transaction-fee basis through per-order fulfillment charges, storage fees, and value-added services such as kitting, custom branded inserts, and B2B/LTL fulfillment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company emphasizes 'simple fees and no surprises' and offers a free rate matrix and 3PL pricing comparison tool as top-of-funnel content assets. Go-to-market is sales-led, primarily via a website lead capture form (collecting order volume, SKU count, and 3PL concerns) with quotes delivered within 24 hours and dedicated account managers assigned to each customer. The customer base targets e-commerce brands shipping 300 to over 2,000 orders per month that are scaling out of in-home fulfillment; EcoShip is bootstrapped, family-owned, has no disclosed institutional funding, and serves a mix of US-based and international DTC brands.
