When Shopify brands experience fulfillment problems, the warehouse often receives the blame. Orders ship late. Products become unavailable. Inventory runs short. Customers start asking when their orders will arrive. But not every fulfillment problem begins inside the fulfillment center. For brands sourcing products from China, some of the most important factors affecting fulfillment performance oc...
Many ecommerce brands think fulfillment begins when a customer places an order. The customer completes checkout. The warehouse receives the order. The product is picked, packed, and shipped. From the customer's perspective, that is where fulfillment begins. Operationally, however, reliable fulfillment starts much earlier. Before a product ever reaches the warehouse, suppliers have already influenc...
For many ecommerce brands, product sourcing and fulfillment begin as separate decisions. A sourcing agent or factory helps find and manufacture the product. A warehouse stores inventory and ships customer orders. At a small scale, this can work.

SKU labels may not m...
A growing ecommerce brand rarely depends on just one supplier forever. One Chinese manufacturer produces the main product. Another supplies accessories. A packaging company makes branded boxes or pouches. A separate printing supplier produces instruction cards or promotional inserts. From a purchasing perspective, these are independent supplier relationships. From the customer's perspective, they ...
Should your Shopify brand fulfill orders directly from China or move inventory into an overseas warehouse? For growing ecommerce businesses, this is rarely a simple choice between two warehouse locations. A brand selling a predictable bestseller in the United States has different fulfillment requirements from a brand testing 20 products across the US, UK, Europe, and Australia. The first may benef...
