What's Included

Everything between "order placed"
and "package delivered"

SML's order fulfillment is a full-service operation — not a hand-off to a black box. Here's exactly what you're getting.

Automated Order Ingestion

Orders flow directly from your storefront into our WMS the moment they're placed — no manual uploads, no CSV imports. Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Amazon, and custom API connections supported.

Same-Day Pick, Pack & Ship

Orders received before our daily cut-off go out the same day. Our team picks with barcode verification on every line item, packs to your spec, and hands off to UPS, FedEx, or USPS without delay.

Real-Time Inventory Visibility

Log in anytime and see exactly what's in stock, what's been reserved, and what's moving. Low-stock alerts and reorder thresholds configurable per SKU — no surprises, no stockouts you didn't see coming.

Quality Control on Every Order

Every shipment goes through a scan-verify-pack process before it leaves our floor. Accuracy is tracked per associate, per shift — 99.8% isn't an average, it's a floor.

Multi-Channel Order Management

Selling on Shopify, Amazon, and your own site simultaneously? We pull from a unified inventory pool and route orders correctly every time — no channel gets shorted, no SKU goes negative.

Dedicated Account Support

You get a real point of contact — not a ticket queue. Questions, escalations, or custom requests go directly to someone who knows your account and your SKUs by name.

How It Works

Your order fulfillment,
step by step

From the moment a customer clicks "buy" to the moment it lands on their doorstep.

01

Order Placed on Your Storefront

A customer checks out on your Shopify store, Amazon listing, or any connected channel. The order is transmitted to our warehouse management system automatically — no delay, no manual step on your end.

Automated
02

Pick & Verify

Our warehouse team receives the pick list, locates the SKUs, and scans each item against the order. Every line is barcode-verified before it moves to packing — this is where our 99.8% accuracy rate lives.

Quality Controlled
03

Pack to Your Spec

We pack to your preferred spec — branded tissue, poly mailers, custom inserts, specific box sizes. Standard or custom, we follow your packing guide for every single shipment, not just the first few.

Brand Consistent
04

Ship & Track

We rate-shop across UPS, FedEx, and USPS to get the best combination of speed and cost for each order's destination. Tracking numbers push back to your storefront automatically — your customer gets notified, you stay clean.

Same-Day Cut-Off
05

Delivered & Confirmed

Your customer receives their order. Delivery confirmation syncs back to your system. If something goes wrong — lost package, damage claim — we handle the carrier dispute on your behalf.

End-to-End

Who It's For

Built for brands that are
done doing it themselves

SML's order fulfillment works across a wide range of business models — but it's especially dialed in for these situations.

E-commerce brands shipping 200+ orders/month who are running out of garage or rented space and losing time to packing tables.

Multi-channel sellers managing Shopify, Amazon FBM, and wholesale simultaneously who need inventory unified in one place.

Growing DTC brands that need a 3PL that can scale from 500 to 50,000 orders/month without switching partners mid-growth.

Brands with complex SKU sets — multiple variants, bundles, or subscription boxes — that need pick accuracy they can actually count on.

Maybe not the right fit if…

  • You're shipping fewer than 100 orders/month and self-fulfillment still makes economic sense
  • You need same-day delivery (we ship same-day, but transit time depends on carrier and destination)
  • Your products require temperature-controlled pharmaceutical storage
  • You need a facility in a specific region for last-mile optimization (we're NC-based)

FAQ

Common questions about
order fulfillment at SML

Orders received by 2:00 PM EST Monday–Friday are processed and shipped the same day. Orders after cut-off ship the following business day. We'll confirm your specific cut-off during onboarding based on your carrier mix and order patterns.
We follow a packing guide you provide during onboarding — specific box sizes, void fill preferences, branded tissue, inserts, stickers, thank-you cards, whatever your spec calls for. We can store your branded materials in our facility and apply them per order at no additional labor cost for standard configurations.
We natively connect with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Amazon (FBM), ShipStation, EasyPost, Stamps.com, and several ERPs. If your platform isn't on the list, we also support custom API connections — our team will scope the integration during onboarding at no charge.
If the error is on our end — wrong item picked, wrong address printed — we cover reshipping at no cost to you. For carrier-side losses or delays, we file the claim on your behalf and work directly with UPS, FedEx, or USPS to resolve it. You don't manage carrier relationships; we do.
We generally work best with brands shipping 200+ orders per month, though we evaluate each situation individually. If you're under that volume but growing fast, let's talk — we'd rather onboard you early and scale together than have you scramble for a 3PL six months from now.
Most clients are fully onboarded and shipping within 7–14 days of signing. That includes platform integration, receiving your first inventory shipment, configuring packing specs, and running a test batch. If you have a launch date you're working toward, tell us and we'll engineer backward from it.
