US fulfillment for international brands

Selling to the US? Ship from the US.

For brands based in Canada, the UK, Europe, and beyond, keeping inventory in a US fulfillment center is usually the fastest and most affordable way to serve American customers.

Why a US fulfillment center

Six reasons brands outside the US keep stock here.

Shipping every order across a border works when US sales are small. As they grow, a US warehouse changes the cost, the speed, and the customer experience.

01

Faster delivery for US shoppers

An order that ships from Michigan travels on domestic UPS, USPS, FedEx, or DHL eCommerce services, not an international parcel route. Orders received by 1:00 PM Eastern ship the same day, so US customers get delivery times they are used to.

02

Lower cost per order

Instead of paying international postage on every parcel, you send inventory to the US in bulk and each order ships as a domestic package. For most brands with steady US demand, that is the biggest saving.

03

No surprises at the door

When each order crosses a border on its own, the customer can face delays, extra paperwork, or charges on delivery. Shipping from US stock removes that from the customer experience.

04

Easier returns

US customers can send returns to a US address instead of overseas, which is simpler for them and quicker for you to process and restock.

05

Built for US marketplaces

US shoppers on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, and TikTok Shop expect fast, trackable delivery. Orders from those channels and your own Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce store flow straight to our warehouse.

06

No US company needed

You do not need a US company or US address to work with us. Start with no setup fees and no minimums, then scale in a 100,000-square-foot facility as your US sales grow.

Questions

US fulfillment FAQ for international brands

How much does US fulfillment cost?

Standard rates start at $1.25 per order, with no setup fees and no minimums. Rates are negotiated on your monthly volume, storage needs and shipping method.

How fast do US orders ship?

Orders received by 1:00 PM Eastern ship the same day on domestic UPS, USPS, FedEx and DHL eCommerce services.

Can you send my inventory into Amazon US?
