APPAREL FULFULLMENT EXPERTISE
Top 5 Features for Choosing a 3PL for Apparel Brands
For founders of small apparel businesses, choosing the right e-commerce clothing fulfillment partner is critical. Handled provides the specialized services and strategic advantage a growing fashion fulfillment center needs to offer. Here are the top 5 features that drive growth and customer loyalty for Shopify apparel brands:
ast and Efficient Apparel Returns Processing
Clothing fulfillment services must excel at returns due to the high return rates common in the fashion industry (size, fit, color). Our efficient reverse logistics quickly inspect, restock, or process refunds for garments, minimizing lost revenue and ensuring a seamless, brand-positive returns experience that retains customers.
Branded Unboxing for High-End Garment Fulfillment
For apparel brands where the brand matters, the delivery box is a marketing moment. We offer customized and high-quality branded unboxing options—from custom-printed boxes and tissue paper to branded inserts—to elevate the customer experience and reinforce your brand identity, turning every delivery into a catalyst for repeat purchases.
Real-Time, Multi-Channel Clothing Inventory Management
anaging multiple SKUs (size, color, style) is complex in clothing fulfillment. Our advanced WMS provides real-time visibility and synchronization of your apparel inventory across all sales channels (Shopify, retail, etc.), preventing oversells/stockouts and ensuring high accuracy in garment order fulfillment across all your locations.
