Why use an order fulfillment company?

Why use an order fulfillment company?
Some common reasons are: Cost, Convenience, Growth and Speed

Cost
Running a warehouse get expensive. There is rent, labor, insurance, taxes, benefits, supplies, racking, equipment, pallet jacks, forklifts and dozens of other expenses that are best shared through a contract warehouse. By outsourcing your storage needs to us you don’t have to worry about these expenses - you can focus on growing your business. See our pricing page for a download able spreadsheet that can help you analyze costs.

Convenience
Many new ecommerce entrepreneurs get their start warehousing in the garage or a spare bedroom. Then business begins to grow and the excitement of taking orders down to UPS begins to fade. Making the pilgrimage each day becomes a grind, and is especially inconvenient if you have a full-time job as well. With our fulfillment solution, simply send us a file electronically once per day and we will pick, pack and ship your orders and supply you with the tracking numbers. Whether you are at the office, or on a shopping trip in China, your orders will go out on time.

Growth
Few things are as exciting as a successful new business that grows like crazy. Then the problems mount - hiring employees, drug testing, training, firing them and starting over. Your first employee is followed quickly by the second and third and fourth and now the spare bedroom is overflowing. Contract warehousing is a scalable solution to your business growth, allowing you to expand and contract as needed without hiring staff or having to lay them off. You can focus on the growth without having to focus on the space. We can help you grow from one section of racking to 50,000 cubic feet of it.

Speed
One commonly ignored aspect of filling orders is the time it takes to cross the country, or to cross the globe. If you are an east coast based company, our southwest location will make your shipments arrive days earlier that sending them from your home base. Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and parts of Texas are 1-2 days away at the Ground shipping price. Many progressive companies will use fulfillment warehouses scattered around the country to make sure all their orders are delivered quickly at a low cost. If you are based outside of the US, then using our warehouse will let you fulfill orders without having to deal with duties and paperwork for each individual order.
