Clothing fulfillment in Los Angeles for DTC brands
Clothing fulfillment in Los Angeles starts with the variant. Every size and color is received, barcoded and slotted individually, and each unit is scanned against the order line before it is packed, so a black medium never ships in place of a navy medium. Orders received before the daily cutoff leave the same day, packed to your documented fold, tissue and insert specs. With 1-2 day ground to California, Nevada and Arizona, our Los Angeles operations can shorten delivery times for a large share of your customers, which matters in a category where shoppers compare delivery promises before they check out and often order two sizes to be safe.
Apparel returns processing in Los Angeles
Apparel returns processing in Los Angeles runs as a daily workflow rather than a weekly cleanup. Returned packages are opened, matched to the original order, inspected for wear, odor, makeup marks and missing tags, and graded. Sellable garments are re-folded, re-bagged or re-tagged and returned to available stock, often while the style is still selling at full price. Units that need repair, steaming or a markdown channel are separated according to your rules, and each disposition is recorded so you can see return reasons by style and size and fix fit problems at the source.
Wholesale, retail EDI and drops from Los Angeles
The same Los Angeles inventory that ships DTC orders can fill wholesale and retail purchase orders. EDI purchase orders, advance ship notices and invoices are exchanged electronically, cartons are labeled with GS1-128 labels, and prepack ratios and routing guide rules are followed to avoid chargebacks. For launches, our Los Angeles operations stage inventory ahead of time, pre-kit bundles and add pack capacity so drop-day orders ship in planned waves. Asia imports land here first, so inventory can move from port to shelf in days instead of weeks.
