Hey Warriors,

My girlfriend manufactures her own art crafts product line and she sells through her own site. Now, we're searching for a reliable storing+fulfillment facility in the US that can ship our products world-wide to our customers at reasonable costs.

I've looked into Amazon FBA, but from I've read in their website, their multi-channel international program (so we can sell through our own site world-wide) only services media products.

Any recommendation for an affordable and reliable storing+fulfillment house located in the US?

TIA!

    This is the time to go old school. Do a search for local fulfillment companies either on the internet, or even better the good ole yellow pages. What is great about some of these local people, is they can actually take all your raw materials and create your kits for you, making it even easier for you. Many of their bread and butter is assembling store displays and kits as well as fulfilling.

    And if you are in a metropolitan area there will be tons to choose from. Great thing, you don't have to ship things off to a new warehouse and you can tour the fulfillment shop.

    I am sure others will have some other suggestions but this is where I would start. Really though, the appeal of Amazon besides selling on Amazon is the dirt cheap shipping options but many fulfillment shops can get just as good pricing.

    See there are two options in everything:

    One is chip price from which we can’t expect the better service.

    Second one is normal or high price which is best at their service.

    In E-commerce business SHIPPING is one of the most important part and in that customer always excited to get the product after placing an order so we have to deliver a product as soon as possible and for the worldwide shipping, you can use DHL or UPS, which are very reliable and fast. Tracking system also affects the customer because he/she periodically check at where his/her product reaches. So you have to consider this entire thing, not just a price, because after all customer satisfaction is important...

      That is great, but it's not what the thread is about. Please stay on topic.
