Our promises

Four written guarantees.
Backed by our pricing.

Other 3PLs make promises in marketing. We make them in contracts. Every new client agreement includes these four guarantees — and a pricing mechanism that actually pays out when we miss.

Guarantee 01

Zero Shrinkage

If we lose it, we cover it — at your wholesale cost.

If we lose your inventory, we cover it at your wholesale cost. No paperwork warfare. No "we'll investigate for 90 days."

How we do it

  • Every unit scanned on receipt and on ship-out
  • Weekly cycle counts — not just annual audits
  • Camera coverage on all storage and prep zones
  • Sealed pallets with tamper-evident wrap for long-term storage
  • Single-operator handoffs — no "someone else touched it"

Fine print

  • Coverage up to $10,000 per incident
  • Excludes loss during carrier transit (UPS, FedEx, etc.)
  • Excludes acts of god (fire, flood, natural disaster)
  • Claims must be filed within 30 days of discovery
  • Wholesale cost must be documented on commercial invoice
Guarantee 02

99.8%+ Accuracy

Pick or pack wrong — we refund and reship.

For every pick or pack error, we refund the full order and reship at our cost. If our monthly accuracy drops below 99.8%, every client gets a credit equal to 1% of that month's fulfillment fees.

How we do it

  • Barcode scan at every pick and pack station
  • Weight-check verification on high-value orders
  • Dual verification for bundles and kits
  • Monthly accuracy audit published in client dashboard
  • Root-cause review for every confirmed error

Fine print

  • "Accuracy" = orders without any of 5 error types (wrong item, missing item, wrong quantity, wrong address-our error, damaged in packing)
  • Measured as % of total orders shipped
  • Customer-caused errors do not count
  • Credit calculated on fulfillment fees (not shipping pass-through)
  • Reshipment coverage: we pay shipping both ways
  • Industry average 3PL accuracy is ~96% for context
Guarantee 03

Same-Day Shipping

2 PM CT cutoff — or we refund the shipping fee.

Orders received before 2 PM Central Time on a business day ship the same day. If we miss the cutoff, we refund the shipping fee on that order.

How we do it

  • Cutoff times by service: Ground 2 PM CT, Express 3 PM CT, Amazon FBA weekly pickup (Wed 10 AM CT)
  • Dedicated same-day pick queue separate from batched picks
  • Package picked, packed, labeled, and handed to carrier before daily pickup
  • Saturday shipping available for SFP

Fine print

  • Business days only (Mon–Fri, excluding US federal holidays)
  • Order must be paid and tech-complete before cutoff
  • Carrier pickup delays do not count as our miss — we'll reship priority at no cost
  • Refund is the shipping fee line item only
  • Applies to orders under 50 lb / standard pallet count
Guarantee 04

2-Hour Receiving

Unloaded, counted, live in inventory — within 2 hours.

Your inbound shipments are unloaded, counted, and live in your inventory within 2 hours of arrival at our dock. If we miss the window, we credit the inbound handling fee back to your next invoice.

How we do it

  • Pre-scheduled receiving appointments to eliminate waiting
  • Dedicated receiving dock separate from outbound shipping
  • Handheld scanners + real-time WMS updates
  • First 2 hours per inbound shipment already free
  • SKUs sell the same day they arrive

Fine print

  • Applies during business hours (Mon–Fri 8 AM–6 PM CT, Sat 9 AM–2 PM CT)
  • Requires pre-scheduled receiving appointment with 24 hours' notice
  • Applies to standard palletized freight up to 10 pallets per shipment
  • Container off-loading (20'/40') has a separate 6-hour SLA
  • Shipments with damaged/missing documentation may be held — hold time does not count against the 2-hour clock
Claims process

When we miss a guarantee, here's what happens.

Fast resolution is part of the guarantee. Every claim is acknowledged within 1 business hour, investigated within 24 hours, and resolved within 72 hours.
