What FBA prep do you handle?
FNSKU and barcode labeling, poly-bagging with suffocation warnings, bubble-wrapping, bundling and multi-packs, unit inspection, and expiration/lot labeling, all to Amazon's current requirements, then forwarded to the assigned fulfillment centers.
More on Amazon FBA PrepCan you prep supplements, food, and cosmetics?
Yes. Because we're an FDA-registered, food-grade facility, we prep regulated categories, including supplements, food and beverage, and cosmetics, that many prep centers won't accept, including proper expiration and lot handling.
More on Amazon FBA PrepDo you forward to Amazon fulfillment centers?
Yes. We prep and forward your shipments to the FCs Amazon assigns, splitting inventory as required, and we move that inbound freight on our discounted carrier accounts.
More on Amazon FBA PrepCan you do FBM if FBA runs out of space?
Yes. We provide FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) from the same inventory, so if FBA capacity or your IPI limits get tight, you keep selling without interruption.
More on Amazon FBA PrepHow fast is prep turnaround?

More on Kitting & ReturnsB2B & freight 26 questions
Do you handle EDI and retailer routing guides?
Yes. We manage EDI transactions including 856 ASNs, GS1-128 labeling, packing slips, and each retailer's routing-guide and must-arrive-by requirements to prevent chargebacks.
More on B2B DistributionWhat are your B2B minimums?
For B2B clients, at least 15 pallets and 15 outbound shipments per month on an annual agreement, with no setup fees.
More on B2B DistributionHow does pallet pricing work?
Per-pallet rates for storage, inbound, and outbound, tiered by volume. We provide an exact quote and never change the price after you sign.
More on B2B DistributionCan you save me money on freight?
Yes. We ship over a million packages a year and pass our negotiated LTL, FTL, and parcel discounts to you.
More on B2B DistributionDo you handle imports and cross-docking?
Yes. We are about 20 miles from Port Newark-Elizabeth and can transload and cross-dock imported containers to outbound with minimal storage.
More on B2B DistributionWhat's the difference between cross-docking and transloading?
Cross-docking moves inbound freight directly to an outbound truck with little or no storage. Transloading is the handling step in between - for example devanning a floor-loaded ocean container and restacking the goods onto standardized pallets so they can move on domestic freight. We do both, together or separately.
More on Cross-DockingHow close are you to Port Newark?
Our Morristown, NJ facility is about 20 miles from Port Newark-Elizabeth, so drayage legs are short and inexpensive and containers can reach our dock the same day.
More on Cross-DockingCan you devan floor-loaded containers?
Yes. We unload hand-stacked, floor-loaded containers and transload the freight onto standardized, labeled, shrink-wrapped pallets, counted and inspected as we go.
More on Cross-DockingCan you ship cross-docked freight directly to retailers?
Yes. We flow freight straight to Walmart, Target, Amazon, and other retailers with GS1/SSCC labels, ASN, and routing-guide compliance to avoid chargebacks.
More on Cross-DockingDo I have to store inventory with you to cross-dock?
No. You can cross-dock flow-through freight without long-term storage - though many clients cross-dock part of a shipment and store the rest with us for fulfillment.
More on Cross-DockingHow much does cross-docking cost?
Pricing depends on container volume, transload handling, and outbound freight. Use our calculator for a ballpark and we'll send exact pricing that never changes after you sign, thanks to our price-lock guarantee.
More on Cross-DockingIs the facility FDA-registered for food and supplements?
Yes. We're an FDA-registered, food-grade facility and a certified organic handler, so consumable and regulated freight is handled compliantly through the cross-dock.
More on Cross-DockingWhat is the difference between LTL and FTL freight?
FTL (full truckload) means your shipment fills, or is priced as, an entire truck -- best for large volumes, 10+ pallets, or time-sensitive freight, and it's typically priced by the mile for the lane. LTL (less-than-truckload) means your freight shares a trailer with other shippers and is priced by weight, freight class, and distance -- best for 1 to 6 pallets. CHG books both on our discounted carrier accounts.
More on Domestic FreightHow is the FTL estimate calculated?
Our instant FTL estimate multiplies the driving distance between your origin and destination ZIP codes by an approximate per-mile rate, then shows a ballpark range. It's a directional figure to help you plan -- your exact, locked rate comes in your quote and reflects the specific lane, equipment, timing, and any accessorials.
More on Domestic FreightWhy don't you show an instant LTL price?
LTL pricing depends on freight class, exact weight and dimensions, accessorials (liftgate, residential, inside delivery), and the specific lane -- so an honest number needs a few details. Tell us about your shipment and we'll send a tailored LTL quote fast, on our discounted rates. And true to our promise, the quote we send is the quote we honor.
More on Domestic FreightDo your freight rates really not change after I book?
Correct -- our price-lock guarantee applies to freight too. A lot of providers quote low and then pile on surcharges. The rate we commit to for your agreed lane and scope is the rate you pay; the only variables are genuine third-party pass-throughs like fuel and accessorials, which we spell out up front.
More on Domestic FreightCan you handle retail and EDI freight to Walmart, Target, and Amazon?
Yes. We move palletized freight into major retailers with routing-guide compliance, ASN/EDI, and GS1 labeling to keep your must-arrive-by dates and avoid chargebacks -- the same B2B distribution muscle behind our fulfillment.
More on Domestic FreightWhere do you ship freight from?
From our facility in Morristown, NJ, about 20 miles from Port Newark-Elizabeth. That makes us ideal for cross-docking imported containers straight onto outbound freight, and for reaching the dense Northeast market in one to two days.
More on Domestic FreightIs there a minimum for freight shipments?
We handle everything from a single LTL pallet to full truckloads and dedicated lanes. Share your volume and lanes and we'll recommend the most cost-effective mode and send transparent pricing.
More on Domestic FreightWhat is a dim factor, and why does 300 matter?
Carriers bill large packages on dimensional weight - length x width x height divided by a "dim factor." A higher factor produces a lower billable weight. The common standard is 139, which overcharges bulky-but-light items; our 300 dim factor cuts that dimensional penalty substantially, so you pay closer to what the item actually weighs.
More on Heavy & BulkyWhat are the flat-rate 10-50 lb accounts?
For heavier parcels in the 10-50 lb range we have special carrier accounts that offer predictable, largely zone-blind flat-rate pricing - so a heavy order doesn't get dramatically more expensive just because it's shipping farther. We'll confirm the exact bands and pricing in your quote.
More on Heavy & BulkyCan you ship truly oversized items on freight?
Yes. Items too large or heavy for parcel move on discounted LTL (less-than-truckload) or FTL (full-truckload) freight, palletized and protected. We handle the booking and routing.
More on Heavy & BulkyDo you store bulky inventory?
Yes. We have the racking, equipment, and dock space to store and handle heavy and oversized product safely, with the same real-time inventory visibility as the rest of our warehousing.
More on Heavy & BulkyHow do you keep big items from getting damaged?
We use right-sized boxing, corner and edge protection, and sturdy packing methods suited to heavy goods, with QC before shipment - and freight palletizing for the largest items.
More on Heavy & BulkyCan you handle returns on heavy products?
Yes. We run reverse logistics for oversized goods: received, inspected, graded, and restocked when sellable, or dispositioned per your rules - including freight returns where needed.
More on Heavy & BulkyHow much does heavy/bulky fulfillment cost?
It depends on item dimensions, weight bands, and whether orders move parcel or freight. Use our calculator for a ballpark, and we'll send exact pricing - locked, so it never changes after you sign.
