How Pet Brands Ship Smarter

Pet fulfillment comes with unique challenges , heavy products, repeat orders, and zero tolerance for mistakes. Our fulfillment process is built to support growing pet brands without slowing them down.

Pet Fulfillment Capabilities

Accurate picking and packing for high-SKU catalogs, which cuts mis-ships and the complaints that follow.

Heavy and bulky pet products handled as standard, including food, litter, and oversized supplies.

Pallet positions rated to 2,500 lbs, which is the real limit on bagged food rather than height.

Lot and expiration tracking on food and treats, with FEFO picking so the closest-dated batch ships first.

Custom kitting and assembly for monthly subscription boxes, built and shipped in one flow.

Fast turnaround on DTC and wholesale orders from one inventory pool, with same-day shipping on orders released by 2pm.

Returns processed in the same building as outbound, so stock goes back on the shelf quickly.

Real-time inventory and order visibility through our WMS, so you always know what is in stock and what is shipping.

Pet Fulfillment FAQs

Dry pet food, treats, supplements, supplies, toys, beds, leashes, bagged litter. We don’t fulfill refrigerated or frozen pet food, and we don’t handle prescription pet medications.

Yes. Custom kitting and assembly for monthly pet boxes is a core service, built for BarkBox-style brands, custom variety boxes, and subscription supplements. We assemble, label, and ship in one flow.

Orders placed by 2pm local time ship the same day. Inbound put-away takes 24 to 48 hours after delivery.

Yes. We handle dimensional weight pricing carefully and negotiate carrier rates that account for heavy pet food shipments. No surprise shipping fees on bulky orders.

Yes, our warehouses are FDA-registered. We track lot numbers and expiration dates on every pet food and treat shipment, and pick using FEFO so the closest-dated batch ships first.

Check it before you talk to us. The shipping rate calculator returns live parcel rates through our carrier accounts. Bagged food usually bills on real weight, but beds, crates, and large toys are the classic dimensional-weight trap, so run those through the dimensional weight calculator to see the billable weight a carrier will use.

Storage is billed by the pallet position at published rates: $7.50 a month for a 30 x 36 x 24 inch pick rack position, $18.50 for a 40 x 48 pallet up to 60 inches, $25.00 up to 72 inches, and $40.00 over 72 inches. You are billed on the height a pallet is actually built to, and the pallet deck itself uses about 5.5 inches of that allowance.

Weight is usually your limit rather than height. Each pallet position is rated to 2,500 lbs, and bagged food and litter reach that long before a pallet runs out of height, so the right build for those is shorter and heavier rather than tall. Lighter goods like beds and toys are the reverse and hit the height tiers first.

Yes, from the same inventory pool. Retailer prep including UCC-128 labels and routing guide compliance is handled alongside your direct orders, so you are not holding separate stock per channel.

Yes, in the same building as outbound orders, so a returned item is inspected and back in sellable stock rather than sitting between sites.

New Jersey (two warehouses, about 40 minutes from Port Newark), California (eight locations near the Ports of LA and Long Beach), and Kansas City, Kansas. Most brands start in one and add a second only when their order file justifies it.
