Expanded US Coverage

Most fulfillment providers treat Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US territories as a lost cause — slow, expensive, and stuck on the boat. At ShipMonk, we don’t accept that.

With ShipMonk Economy Expanded US Coverage, we cover every US address with the same speed and simplicity. Outlying deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii, military bases and US territories that crawl in on a boat with other fulfillment providers now arrive in about half the time.

No special setup, no workaround, no premium tier. Just faster delivery to every corner of the country, at a better price than doing it yourself. That’s fulfillment built to adapt, not just react.

Delivery windows cut roughly in half
