Order Fulfillment FAQs
What is order fulfillment and how does it work?
Order fulfillment is the complete process of receiving, processing, packing, and shipping customer orders. When someone buys from your online store, we receive the order electronically, pick the products from inventory, pack them with your branded materials, ship them to your customer, and provide tracking. All automatic. You never touch a box. It's the entire backend operation between "order placed" and "delivered."
How fast does order fulfillment ship?
Orders received by 2 PM Central ship the same business day. Morning orders often ship by noon. That means next-day delivery across Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, and the Carolinas, and 1-2 day ground to 75% of the US population. The Nashville metro's central location keeps your customers' shipping costs down without sacrificing speed.
What are order fulfillment costs?
Pricing typically includes storage fees (per pallet or cubic foot per month), pick-and-pack fees per order ($3-6 for most orders), and shipping at our negotiated carrier rates. The exact cost depends on your order volume, product dimensions, storage needs, and any special handling. Most clients find outsourced fulfillment runs 20-40% cheaper than doing it themselves once you factor in labor, rent, equipment, and shipping discounts. Reach out for custom pricing based on your order profile.
Do you have minimum order volumes?
No strict minimums. We work with brands shipping 50 orders a month up to 50,000 a month. Most eCommerce businesses find outsourced fulfillment cost-effective once they exceed 100 orders per month. You only pay for what you ship... No penalty for slow seasons, no panic during holiday rushes. We scale with you.
How quickly can my business start using order fulfillment services?
Most clients are shipping orders within 7-10 days. Once you're onboarded, we set up your platform integration (usually 24-48 hours for Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, etc.), you ship inventory to our warehouse, we receive and organize it (1-2 days), and you're live. We handle the heavy lifting so your transition from in-house fulfillment or another provider is seamless... Zero order delays.
Can you handle custom packaging and branded materials?
Absolutely. Every order includes custom branded packing slips with your logo. We can also use your branded boxes, tissue paper, thank you cards, promotional inserts, or follow any custom packaging procedure. Just provide the materials and instructions... Our team will execute your unboxing experience perfectly so customers never know a 3PL touched their order.
