Pick and Pack

One tracking number per order

Pick and Pack is when you send us boxes of loose items, and as orders enter our system, we “pick and pack” all the items into our own boxes, and ship them on your behalf. Basic packaging is included at no cost.

Limitations

  1. Entire order must fit in stock packaging.
  2. If an order is too big for one stock box, then the order will be split across multiple stock boxes. Each additional box will have an additional shipped fee.
  3. Inside packaging is included at no additional charge, but may vary based on availability.

Free basic packaging

The entire order must fit in our basic packaging. Shipwire provides the same free packaging materials as the US Postal Service. The only difference is we use generic boxes, so you are not limited to any specific service. Here are our stock sizes:

  2. Each item will be shipped individually, in the sealed mailer or box in which it was received

Business-to-business capabilities only Class A warehouses can deliver

Retailer compliance is our specialty. With regular shipments to major retail chains, we can palletize, label and notify the retailer as needed. Yes, we can handle “ASNs via EDI.” Retailer pickups can be scheduled online as well.

Time and Costing Optimization

We manage your orders across multiple warehouses

As each of your orders comes into our system, we will determine the time and cost of shipping that specific order from our Los Angeles, Chicago, Vancouver and Toronto facilities. The order will then automatically be fulfilled from the optimal facility.

You get 1-2 day delivery across North America, at ground rates

 

With multiple warehouses to choose from, and inventory being held to a minimum, it is critical that you can properly manage your orders. That’’s why Shipwire gives you lots of options. Examples:

  • Submit orders to the warehouse in real-time, for fastest service. Or once a day in batch, leaving you time to correct order errors (such as order corrections).
  • Manage backorders, by canceling portions of the order so it ships faster, or canceling the entire order and shipping it from your own facility.
  • Break orders between multiple warehouses.
  • Let Shipwire do everything for you, and prompt you only when needed.
