Global Fulfillment From One US Hub to Buyers Worldwide
Global fulfillment is meant to take the weight of managing a dozen shipping relationships off you. Instead of guessing at export paperwork country by country, you hold inventory in one place and let a single team pick, pack, document, and ship every order — wherever the buyer lives.
What Global Fulfillment Actually Means
Global fulfillment is the operation behind an order that starts in your store and ends on a doorstep in another country. It covers receiving your inventory, storing it, picking and packing each order, preparing the export and customs documents, choosing the right carrier for the destination, and handling the return if the buyer sends it back.
Plenty of providers call themselves an international 3PL because they can drop a parcel with one courier. That is not the same thing. The hard part of cross-border shipping is not the label — it is the paperwork that clears customs, the classification that decides the duty, and the carrier choice that decides whether a package lands in five days or sits in a bonded facility for three weeks. We own all of that so your team does not have to learn it destination by destination.

How Global Fulfillment Works With Us
The process is the same for a first-time international seller and a brand shipping to forty countries — six steps, start to finish.
Connect Your Store
We link your sales channels so orders and inventory sync automatically.
Send Us Your Inventory
You ship stock into our hub. We receive, count, and inspect it, then flag any discrepancy against your packing list.
We Store & Track It
Your stock goes on the shelf with a location and a live count you can see anytime.
An Order Comes In
Our team picks and packs it the same day when it lands before the daily cutoff.
We Prepare Export Paperwork
For any order leaving the US, we generate the commercial invoice and customs documentation the destination requires.
We Dispatch & Track
We route the order through the carrier that fits the destination and service level, and tracking pushes back to your customer.
If a buyer returns an item, it comes back to us. We inspect it, restock what is sellable, and log the outcome so your inventory stays accurate.
Regions We Ship To
We ship to more than 200 countries. These are the corridors we handle most, and the ones our international clients ask about first.
| Region | Example Destinations | What We Handle |
|---|---|---|
| West Africa | Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire | Export docs, consolidation for distributors, duty guidance per destination |
| South America | Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru | Commercial invoices, carrier routing, bulk consolidation |
| Brazil | Nationwide | Documentation for Brazil's import requirements, distributor consolidation |
| UK & Europe | United Kingdom, Germany, France, Netherlands | VAT-ready paperwork support, carrier selection, DTC and wholesale |
| Middle East | UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar | Export handling, secure long-haul packaging |
| Asia | Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and more | Documentation, carrier routing, consolidation |
Transit times vary by destination, carrier, and service level, so we quote them per lane rather than promising a single number that would not hold across two hundred countries. When you get a quote, you get the realistic window for your specific route.
Assisted Purchasing and Trade Credit for International Buyers
If you are an overseas wholesaler or distributor buying US products, you often hit the same wall: you need a US entity, a US address, and working capital before a single supplier will deal with you. Our assisted purchasing service removes that.
We source on your behalf — from verified US suppliers, consolidate everything in our hub, prep it, and export it to you.
Up to $500,000 in trade credit for qualified international clients, so you can place larger orders without tying up your own cash first.
No US entity, no multiple shipping relationships — one consolidated shipment with the documents already handled.
This is where most cross-border orders go wrong, so we treat it as core to the service, not an afterthought. For every order leaving the US, we prepare the commercial invoice and the customs paperwork the destination country asks for, working from the correct product classification so duties are assessed properly. Rules changed recently — the duty-free de minimis treatment that used to cover many low-value US imports under Section 321 was suspended on August 29, 2025, so duties and thresholds now depend heavily on the destination and the goods. We do not promise duty-free entry, because that promise is no longer accurate for most lanes. What we do instead is prepare accurate documentation and point you to the authoritative source for your route — for US export classification and current rules, US Customs and Border Protection is the reference, and for anything moving by air, especially products with batteries or other restricted contents, the International Air Transport Association sets the standards carriers follow.
Running It Yourself vs. Using a Global 3PL
Many brands try to handle international orders in-house first. Here is the honest comparison of what that looks like against handing it to a partner.
| Task | Handling It Yourself | With Lite Fulfillment |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier accounts | You open and manage one per region | We hold the accounts and route each order |
| Customs paperwork | You learn each country's rules | We prepare docs per destination |
| Inventory visibility | Spreadsheets and manual counts | Live counts synced to your channels |
| Returns across borders | You arrange each one | We intake, inspect, and restock |
| Upfront cost | Warehouse, staff, software | No setup fee, no minimums |
| Scaling to a new country | Weeks of research | Included in the service |
Doing it yourself can work at low volume. Once orders cross a few hundred a month across several countries, the paperwork and carrier admin usually cost more in staff time than the fulfillment itself.
