ShipHero, a shipping and logistics platform for over 5,000 e-commerce brands based in Garnerville, New York, has acquired Golden Egg Solutions, an e-commerce fulfillment company based in Salt Lake City. Golden Egg is the latest acquisition for ShipHero following its $50 million funding round that closed in June.
Golden Egg Solutions specializes in e-commerce, fulfillment, packaging, drop shipping and white label supplement procurement. Golden Egg Solutions has been a longtime customer of ShipHero and uses its warehouse management software.
“With this business acquisition, ShipHero now has a warehouse strategically located in the northwestern half of the United States for use by their fulfillment and 3PL clients,” the company said. “Salt Lake City is the capital and most populous city of Utah, which is also connected to the retail supply chain in the Northwest.”
“Golden Egg Solutions was founded with the mission to offer smaller businesses the capacity and operations to fulfill their shipments,” the release said.”The team also brings the ability to handle HazMat and dangerous goods commodities along with B2B services, including retail fulfillment, pallet builds and cross docking.. ShipHero customers can now take advantage of these services moving forward.”
“The Golden Egg Solutions integration furthers our ability to give the e-commerce brands we serve a broad, nationwide network of facilities to enable more efficient and affordable shipping,” said Aaron Rubin, founder and CEO of ShipHero. “This is yet another example of how we continue to find ways to build better solutions for our customers.”
Golden Egg will be managed by owner and operator Randall Guernsey, who has been leading the Golden Egg Solutions team for the past five years.
“I’m excited for the GES and ShipHero integration,” said Guernsey. “At the heart of what we do lies a commonality of excellent customer service, and I look forward to top-notch fulfillment for our new ShipHero family and beyond.”
