Single carrier dependence is one of the riskiest decisions in your shipping strategy. When your carrier faces a disruption, your whole operation feels it. When their rates spike, you eat the cost. You have no backup, no leverage, and nowhere else to turn. Grip gives you access to a mix of national and regional carriers, delivering reach, reliability, and the most competitive rates. So your operation stays resilient with a carrier mix built to handle the unexpected.

There's a reason quality and precision aren't optional in the DTC shipping of temperature-sensitive products. As Grip Founder and CEO Juan Camilo Meisel told FreightWaves, these are products people feed their families with, give to their pets, and trust with their health. Because of that, "there needs to be a super high standard of quality that comes down to the actual operation that you have on the ground." That's exactly why John Hummel is joining as President of Grip Fulfillment, to help carry forward this standard of high quality execution for every customer we serve.

We’re very excited to announce our partnership with Giordano's, a Chicago institution and one of the most beloved pizza brands in the country. 🍕🚀 Through our partnership, Giordano's expanded their next-day delivery coverage by over 20% while lowering their shipping costs across thousands of weekly shipments. Here is the full story of how we did it: https://lnkd.in/e5KRtJmm

Chicago's most iconic deep dish pizza, now at your door. Giordano's has been perfecting their stuffed pizza since 1974. Some things are too good to stay in one city. We’re proud to partner with Giordano’s to power their nationwide shipping. Three facilities, 24-hour delivery, and the cold-chain precision a legendary brand deserves. So if you can't go to Chicago, now Chicago will come to you. 🍕

25–30% of Grip's nationwide orders ship from our facility in the Northeast.   Juan Camilo Meisel, CEO & Founder, walks us through the facility during one of our biggest shipping weeks yet. Our fulfillment operations are purpose-built for temperature-sensitve products going DTC.   Grip reaches 80% of the U.S. in 24 hours, and the rest in just 48. That's how we get our partners closer to their customers.

In perishable DTC, the delivery is the brand experience. That one moment at your customer's door defines everything you've worked to build. Grip was built specifically for brands that can't afford to get that moment wrong. Five fulfillment facilities nationwide, 80% next day coverage, and dynamic shipment optimization on every single order. These are some of the brands that trust us with that moment.

Very sad to see the wildfires spreading across Colorado. The Aspen Acres Fire has burned nearly 100,000 acres in just over a week, forcing thousands of people to evacuate. Thinking of everyone affected. We're actively monitoring the area and tracking logistics disruptions as they unfold. If your ecommerce business is impacted, DM me. We'll help.

July 4th is one of the biggest food and beverage spending moments of the year. For perishable DTC brands, it's also one of the most demanding weeks to fulfill. Peak summer heat, carrier congestion, and a delivery window that leaves zero room for error all hit at the same time. We put together a guide on exactly how to navigate it ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eCuseJzQ
