Order Fulfillment 101

Need help shipping orders, but don’t know where to start?

You’ve figured out what you’re going to sell.

You have the inventory and a marketing plan to make it move.

But how do you actually get products to customers?

Order fulfillment is the answer.

But it’s also complicated to know how to do it or even where to get started.

We know it’s stressful and confusing and that finding good information can be tough.

That’s why we’ve put together this checklist to help you get started.

What is order fulfillment?

Order fulfillment is the process of receiving, packing, and shipping customer orders. It includes managing inventory, processing orders, and ensuring timely delivery to the customer.

Can I handle my own order fulfillment?

Yes, you can manage your own order fulfillment, but it requires time, space, and resources. As your business grows, handling fulfillment in-house can become overwhelming and may lead to delays or errors.

Why work with an order fulfillment company?

Working with an order fulfillment company saves you time and reduces shipping errors. They manage the logistics, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business while ensuring fast, accurate deliveries to customers.

We’re here to make your life easier, and your business more profitable.

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND FULFILLRITE!

Had 1500 books to ship after a successful Kickstarter. Their software is very straightforward to use and update, far better than the one Amazon is using. Lots of useful FAQs as well.
Their representative did a great job explaining to me how to do everything and helped along the way. I needed some customization adding a pamphlet to all my books and they did a great job adding it to the existing boxes.
Would highly recommend them to anyone doing something similar.

IT’S JUST SO EASY! I CAN’T SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE THINGS.

Overnight shipping happens reliably (a completely new experience for me!). International shipping is reliable, fast, and cheap! Their website is smooth and intuitive. Getting products to them is easy. Adding new SKUs to the site is easy. They pass on their negotiated discounted shipping rates to me and my customers, and my shipping is cheaper than ever. It’s just so easy! I can’t say enough positive things about the company.

THE BEST IN THE ORDER FULFILLMENT BUSINESS.

Fulfillrite is amazing. Their shipping rates are unbelievably good. The speed of receiving new inventory and shipping new orders is lightning fast, and inventory shrinkage has been next to nil.
What few times I’ve needed support, it’s been top-notch. I highly recommend.

THE BEST! … SIX STARS.

Fulfillrite is simply THE BEST! Lightning-fast fulfillment, awesome customer service and I don’t think they’ve ever dropped the ball on an order…seriously. We’ve tried other fulfillment services, but nothing comes close to Fulfillrite’s level of professionalism. Six stars.

EXCELLENT FULFILLMENT PARTNER

Sol has been incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my entire experience with Fulfillrite. I reached out to Sol about fulfilling Kickstarter orders for a board game. Pricing was transparent.
I had a peculiarly shaped product and Sol took the time to experiment with different boxes/packaging to find the lowest cost/safest shipping method.

BEST SERVICE OF ANY FULFILLMENT PROVIDER.

Their customer service was by far the best I’ve experienced. The support reps always responded very quickly to all my questions and they treated by business like their own, even finding ways to save me money when I didn’t ask.
