When running an ecommerce business, many overlook the importance of the role their warehousing and fulfillment company plays. However, the conditions in which products are stored, packaged, and shipped to customers can significantly affect how your digital brand is perceived.

Where is the warehouse located?
Shipping costs and speeds are heavily impacted by the location of the shipping warehouse. You should look for a fulfillment partner whose warehouses are strategically situated near major ports and are not too far from your target market, like us.Our warehouse and fulfillment center is located in Boca Raton, Florida, which gives us that advantage.
Can they support my product?

Are there any capacity restrictions?
In a dynamic industry like ecommerce, you have to be flexible to grow, and your fulfillment provider needs to be able to keep up. There are peak seasons and discount periods when customer demand increases and other times when it drops. As your fulfillment partner, we can handle spikes in sales smoothly.
