With 20+ years working for the post office, our guest had a dream to one day own her own postal store with the ability to individualize customer service and provide guidance.

In the spring of 2019 that dream came true when Tiffany Townsend founded Ship Black, a logistics super center focused on serving black owned e-commerce businesses.

Ship Black is a one-stop-shop for startup businesses. It provides fulfillment services, education, and guidance in the customer service realm to elevate its customers’ ecommerce business and the effectiveness of their supply chain.

Tiffany is also an advocate for autism awareness, regularly volunteering her time and resources to support local organizations, and providing warehouse apprenticeship training and jobs, which helps individuals gain the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in the logistics and warehousing industry.
