Your first 3PL, onboarded in Houston
Moving your first inventory into a 3PL in Houston starts with a guided onboarding rather than a pile of forms. We set up your SKUs and barcodes, connect Shopify, agree packaging rules for each product type and give your manufacturer an inbound checklist so cartons arrive labeled and countable. After receiving, our Houston operations run a test order you can inspect before you switch live traffic over. From there you can add TikTok Shop, Faire wholesale or Amazon FBA prep, all drawing from the same inventory in Houston.
Makeup fulfillment in Houston for indie brands
Makeup fulfillment in Houston is set up for brands with dozens of shades and small production batches rather than a handful of high-volume SKUs. Every pick is barcode-verified so similar-looking shades don't get swapped, and lot numbers recorded at receiving follow each order out the door. Pressed palettes, glass jars and lip bullets each get their own packing rules, from the right mailer size to inserts that stop compacts rattling. With 1-2 day ground across Texas and the Gulf Coast, fulfillment in Houston keeps transit short, which matters for heat-sensitive formulas and for customers who expect their order before the weekend.
