With North American remote fulfillment, you should be able to follow these realities without interruption or any great difference. The best sales opportunities for you deserve a strong backing, no matter when they happen.
Your fulfillment partner should remove as many seasonal restrictions and limitations as possible to meet this. You should be able to scale inventory and order support as your company needs it. Whether ahead of holidays or your busy season, space shouldn’t get in the way of fulfillment.
This need is the main reason ecommerce companies start thinking about outsourcing fulfillment. By working with a 3PL like Red Stag Fulfillment, you get access to the space you need as you need it. That means no signing another lease or breaking new ground to expand a warehouse or move operations. Shelves are ready and waiting for your growth.
In lean months, you can reduce inventory count and still only pay for what you need. Outsourcing lets you avoid expenses around empty space in your warehouse.
How remote fulfillment can optimize your deliveries
By offering multiple fulfillment centers, 3PLs like Red Stag Fulfillment can help you reach customers across North America quickly and efficiently. When a new customer places an order, their package arrives in a few days with no hassle. They’ll appreciate your capabilities and give you all credit while your fulfillment centers ensure a smooth delivery.
One important thing to discuss with your 3PL is the location of their fulfillment centers and how these impact elements such as shipping time and import duties or customs. Using multiple locations gives you two benefits related to shortening the distance between starting point and destination. It’s faster for a carrier to move goods a shorter distance, and they may charge you less if you’re shipping across fewer zones.
To make the most of any partnership, get a firm idea of their import support. Look for North American remote fulfillment that makes it simple to ship to Canada and the U.S. A partner will help you calculate and predict costs, look for opportunities to minimize expenses, and work with carriers to establish rates right for your business.
How to satisfy other countries’ rules
A remote fulfillment partner may be able to help you handle destination country regulations, including shipping, import duties, and other trade compliance matters. Ask directly how they can help you meet eligibility requirements to introduce your brand to new marketplaces—without paying higher fulfillment fees or referral fees. At Red Stag, we make it easy for you to manage speed, cost, and other fulfillment requirements on our dashboard, where you can work with freight forwarding and export partners to establish an unbroken chain of custody.
We’ll track government and carrier requirements for every order. This may help you spot when you may need to comply with other countries’ rules to do things like pay taxes to satisfy local tax codes. Keep your business running smoothly while our experts help you avoid higher fulfillment fees, minimize your costs, protect products, and keep customers happy.
