A 3PL that's easy to work with
Contract-locked pricing
The rates in your contract are the rates on your invoice, for the full term.
No shortfall fees
The 500-order minimum is averaged over the quarter. Hit the average and you pay nothing extra.
Direct line to the owners
We're owner-operated. You talk to the people running the warehouse floor, not a ticket queue.
First month storage free
New clients pay nothing for storage in the first month while inventory settles in.
Who we work best with
- Shopify and DTC brands shipping 500 or more orders a month
- Amazon sellers who want FBA prep and FBM orders handled in one warehouse
- Brands with East Coast customers who want faster ground delivery
- Sellers leaving a 3PL over surprise fees or slow replies
Who we'll point elsewhere
- Brands shipping fewer than 500 orders a month
- Storage-only accounts with no outbound orders
We'd rather tell you upfront than take on an account we can't serve well.
Do you have a minimum order volume?
Yes. We work with brands shipping 500 or more orders a month. The minimum is averaged over the quarter, so a slow month does not cost you anything as long as the quarterly average holds. There is no shortfall fee.
Which sales channels can you connect to?
We pull orders in from Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, eBay and TikTok Shop, and we can take orders by CSV upload. Every client gets a portal login to see inventory and order status.
How fast do orders ship?
Orders that reach our system by 1 PM Eastern ship the same business day. Orders that come in after 1 PM ship the next business day. We ship with UPS and USPS, and tracking is sent back to your store automatically.
What packaging is included?
A poly mailer is included in the pick and pack fee. If your products need boxes, you can send your own branded boxes or use ours, starting at $1.10 per box.
Can I visit the warehouse?
Yes. Clients and serious prospects are welcome to visit by appointment. We are at 8538 Terminal Rd, Suite F, Lorton, VA 22079, just off I‑95.
