Fulfillment built for indie beauty brands
Lip to Ship is a fulfillment provider that works only with indie and startup beauty brands: lip, color cosmetics and small-batch makeup that deserves better than a generic warehouse.
Most beauty brands start the same way: a formula, a kitchen table, a few hundred followers who become customers. Then the orders outgrow the living room, and the 3PL market tells them to come back when they're bigger. We think that's exactly backwards. The first 3PL a brand chooses shapes its unboxing, its reviews and its ability to survive a viral moment.
So we built our operations around the realities of early-stage beauty: lots of small production batches, shade variants that look identical in a bin, fragile compacts and heat-sensitive bullets, and marketing that runs on PR boxes and creator seeding rather than paid media alone.
Our fulfillment network spans 25 U.S. markets, with Canada and Mexico coming soon. That lets a Los Angeles brand ship from the West Coast and add an East Coast market later without changing providers, systems or processes.
We don't claim to be the biggest. We aim to be the 3PL indie beauty founders recommend to each other: clear about pricing, careful with product and genuinely helpful when you're figuring out fulfillment for the first time.
What we stand for
- Small is not a tier: A 300-order brand gets the same accuracy, packaging care and responsiveness as a 30,000-order brand.
- Treat it like it's ours: Every bullet, palette and PR box is handled as if our own name were on the label.
- Plain-language honesty: Clear quotes, no buried fees and straight answers about what we can and can't do.
- Built for the drop: Launches, restocks and viral posts are planned for, not panicked through.
