What are some of the challenges of starting retail fulfillment?
Every retailer has their own complex set of requirements for order fulfillment. It can take a lot of time and resources to learn the nuances of these requirements and keep up with changes.
How does retail fulfillment differ from eCommerce fulfillment?
With retail fulfillment, you’re shipping items to a retailer rather than the end consumer. Failure to meet retailer requirements in ordering, shipping and invoicing can lead to costly chargebacks.
What are the benefits of entering retail fulfillment?
Retail fulfillment allows you to ship product in bulk, which can be more cost-effective when compared with picking, packing, and shipping individual orders received via eCommerce. You’ll be perfectly placed to help support the growth of your customers, and to grow along with them as they enter big-box stores.
