About this listen

Shopify merchants generated $14 billion over BFCM weekend—but the real test starts now with fulfillment execution and operational strategy.

In this episode, discover:

Why apparel, beauty, and toys grew 20-40% YoY while you're strategically timing inventory to avoid cash pressure (the inbound spike happened one week later than last year)
How international markets exploded with Canada up 400% and Australia 250%, creating immediate expansion opportunities you can execute this quarter
The exact moment to transition from self-fulfillment to 3PL—and why focusing on your core competency beats operational heroics at any revenue stage

James Solier is Senior Vice President of Central Operations at ShipBob. He oversees fulfillment operations serving thousands of DTC brands from startup to household names.

Whether you're doing $50K months or $5M months, this conversation delivers actionable insights you can implement this week.
