Fulfillment & Distribution

Fulfillment & Distribution

Getting it made is half the job. Getting it there is the other half.

Getting a product made and shipped only helps if it actually ends up where — and how — it needs to. We handle warehousing and fulfillment so a finished order doesn't land back on your desk as a logistics problem you now have to solve yourself, whether that's one destination or many.

What We Handle

From inventory on a shelf to an order at someone's door.

Fulfillment picks up where production and freight leave off, and carries the order the rest of the way. Coverage runs warehousing and storage through kitting, pick-and-pack, and last-mile delivery to one or many destinations — first-mile freight booking and customs clearance to get inventory here are handled separately under Freight & Customs.

Warehousing

Inventory is received, checked in, and stored, so stock is ready to ship rather than sitting somewhere untracked between production and sale.

Kitting & Pick-and-Pack

Individual SKUs get assembled into finished kits or bundles, then picked and packed to order as demand comes in.

E-Commerce Fulfillment

Orders coming in through your storefront are picked, packed, and shipped without you having to manage a separate warehouse process.

Single & Multi-Destination Delivery

Whether it's one bulk delivery or hundreds of individual parcels, delivery is coordinated and tracked as one operation.

Where This Fits

Whether you're just launching or already selling, the questions differ.

What matters most about fulfillment depends on where your business is right now.

If You're Launching Something New

  • Getting inventory received and checked in before the launch date
  • Setting up SKUs and kit structures correctly from day one
  • Confirming order volume assumptions before demand actually hits
  • Connecting fulfillment to freight, so stock isn't stuck in transit at launch

If You're Already Selling

  • Handling volume spikes without delivery times slipping
  • Keeping accurate stock counts across SKUs and kit variants
  • Managing returns or exchanges without disrupting main inventory
  • Scaling storage up or down as order volume changes seasonally
How It Works

From received inventory to a tracked delivery.

The same four steps apply whether it's a single restock or ongoing order volume.

01

Receive & Inspect

Inventory arriving from production or freight is checked in and inspected against the expected count before it's stored.

02

Store & Organize

Stock is organized by SKU so it can be picked accurately, whether orders come in one at a time or in bulk.

03

Pick, Pack & Kit

Orders are picked and packed as they come in, with kitting or bundling handled in the same step when needed.

04

Ship & Track

Finished orders are shipped to one address or many, with tracking visible the whole way through delivery.

Working With Us

What shapes cost and setup for a fulfillment program.

These are the factors that tend to matter most when sizing a fulfillment setup.

  • Number of SKUs
  • Monthly order volume
  • Storage duration & space needs
  • Kitting or bundling complexity
  • Number of delivery destinations
  • Seasonal or promotional spikes

Scaling & connecting to freight

Storage and pick-and-pack capacity can scale up ahead of a launch or a peak season, and back down once volume settles — it doesn't need to be sized for your busiest month year-round.

Fulfillment connects directly to freight and customs coordination, so inventory arriving from production flows straight into storage without a separate handoff to manage.

FAQ

Fulfillment and distribution questions we hear most.

Do you offer fulfillment only for goods you manufacture, or any inventory?

Fulfillment connects most easily to goods that came through our sourcing, production, or freight process, but it can be scoped separately if that's the specific gap you have.

How does fulfillment connect to freight and customs clearance?

Inventory arriving from freight and cleared through customs flows directly into warehousing, so there's no separate handoff or delay between "it landed" and "it's ready to ship."

Can you handle both bulk shipments and individual e-commerce orders?

Yes. The same inventory can support bulk deliveries to a distributor or retailer and individual parcel orders from an online store, picked and packed according to whichever channel the order came from.

What happens during peak season order spikes?

Storage and pick-and-pack capacity are planned ahead of known peaks — a launch, a holiday season — rather than reacting once volume has already climbed.

Is there a minimum inventory volume to use fulfillment services?

There's no fixed minimum, but fulfillment tends to make the most sense once order volume is high enough that packing and shipping has become a real time cost on your end. We can help you figure out if you're at that point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before reaching out.

Getting Started

Do I need to use all of Warwick Link's services?

No. Work with us for one part of the process or several. We can support an existing supply chain, fill a specific gap, or coordinate the process end to end.

What makes Warwick Link different from a sourcing agent or freight forwarder?

We're not limited to finding a supplier or moving a shipment. Warwick Link connects sourcing, production, packaging, quality control, and logistics, while helping clients evaluate the options and trade-offs along the way.

Sourcing & Manufacturing

Where does Warwick Link source and manufacture products?

Our manufacturing network is strongest in China, with sourcing capabilities in other markets depending on the product and project requirements. Today, that network runs strongest between China and North America, and the same model extends as your sourcing does.

Can Warwick Link work with my existing manufacturer or supplier?

Absolutely. You don't need to switch suppliers to work with us. We can step in for custom packaging, quality control, freight, customs, fulfillment, or other parts of the supply chain where you need support.

What types of products can Warwick Link source or produce?

Our work spans custom packaging, apparel and branded merchandise, corporate gifting, onboarding and PR kits, promotional products, event materials, and other custom physical goods. For more specialized products, we assess feasibility before recommending an approach.

How long does a typical project take, from concept to delivery?

Timelines vary by product complexity, but most projects move from concept to delivery in roughly 8 to 16 weeks, including sampling, production, and shipping.

Quality & Compliance

Does Warwick Link handle quality control in China?

Yes. Depending on the project, we can coordinate sample approvals, production checks, and pre-shipment quality inspections before goods leave the manufacturer.

How is quality managed when manufacturing overseas?

We coordinate sample approvals, in-production checks, and pre-shipment inspections, so issues are caught before goods leave the manufacturer rather than after they arrive.

Logistics, Freight & Fulfillment

Can Warwick Link handle freight and customs?

Yes. We coordinate air, ocean, and express freight, along with customs documentation, clearance support, and final delivery based on the destination and shipment requirements.

Can you manage a project from sourcing through delivery?

Yes. Warwick Link can coordinate sourcing, sampling, manufacturing, packaging, quality control, freight, customs, and final delivery, or manage only the parts you need.

Do you handle fulfillment or warehousing?

Yes, depending on the project we can coordinate warehousing and pick-and-pack fulfillment alongside freight, so finished goods move directly to where they need to go.

Working With Us

Who does Warwick Link typically work with?

Growing brands launching or scaling a product, marketing and brand teams running campaigns or gifting programs, operations and procurement teams coordinating suppliers, and agencies or creative teams that need an idea made physical.

Is Warwick Link only for China-based manufacturing?

Today our network runs strongest between China and North America, but the same model extends as your sourcing needs do — we're not limited to a single country or region.

Can one company really handle sourcing, packaging, freight, and customs together?

Yes — that's the core of how Warwick Link works. Instead of coordinating separate vendors for each step, we connect sourcing, production, packaging, quality control, and logistics into one process.
