How Fulfillment Works for Small Beauty Brands
From the first call to your first shipped order, here is what moving your beauty brand to Lip to Ship looks like. Every step is designed for brands handing off fulfillment for the first time.
- 1
Tell us about your brand
Share your order volume, SKU and shade count, channels and any fragile or flammable products. We use this to recommend markets and quote accurately.
- 2
Get a custom quote
You receive a transparent quote covering receiving, storage, pick and pack, packaging and shipping. Extras like PR kitting and inserts are listed separately so nothing is hidden.
- 3
Set up products and integrations
We map every SKU and shade, connect your storefront and marketplaces and document packing rules, inserts and kit specs. Test orders confirm everything flows correctly.
- 4
Send your inventory
You ship inventory with an advance notice listing SKUs, quantities and lots per carton. We receive, count and record each lot so stock is visible in your dashboard.
- 5
Start shipping
Orders flow in automatically, are picked by barcode scan and packed to your spec. Tracking syncs back to your store and customers get shipping updates.
- 6
Review and improve
We review accuracy, damage, returns and inventory with you regularly. Packing rules, kits and stock placement are adjusted as your line and channels grow.
Typical timeline
Most small beauty brands move from first call to shipping orders in a few weeks. The timeline depends mostly on how quickly product data is ready, how many SKUs and integrations are involved and when inventory arrives, so we agree on a plan together during onboarding rather than promising a fixed date.
