Cracking the code of toy and game fulfillment
Toys and games are as varied as the customers who buy them. An ecommerce brand might juggle plush dolls, fragile action figures, limited-edition collectibles, and sprawling product bundles all at once. The complexities only grow during peak sales periods, like the holiday season or the launch of a trending product.
Here’s how we help toys and games brands turn those complexities into a competitive advantage
Simplifying SKU management
Whether your inventory includes two dozen products or two thousand, our proprietary Inventory Management Software (IMS) makes it all feel easy. Add new SKUs, create product bundles, and monitor stock levels in real time. With ShipMonk, you’re always ready for your next big wave of sales.
Ensuring pristine product handling
Not all toys are built for rough-and-tumble handling. Iconic collectibles, detailed model sets, and high-demand merchandise need special care. Our team is trained to handle delicate and high-value items with precision, ensuring that every product arrives safe, sound, and ready to delight your customers.
Scaling seamlessly, year-round
Seasonal spikes and viral hits aren’t challenges to us; they’re opportunities. With 12+ owned and operated fulfillment centers across the U.S., Europe, Canada, and beyond, ShipMonk positions your inventory strategically for fast shipping wherever orders may come from. And our AI-powered Virtual Carrier Network (VCN) ensures cost-effective delivery, even during the busiest times of the year.
Stress-free returns that build loyalty
Returns can be complex, but they don’t have to slow you down. Our streamlined reverse logistics system handles every return smoothly—from self-service customer portals to re-shelving inventory quickly and accurately. Because delivering a positive returns experience is often what keeps customers coming back.
