Why Standard Fulfillment Fails Small Items

Most 3PLs treat every package the same way. This creates problems for brands shipping smaller products.

Here's what happens: traditional warehouses charge you based on dimensional weight calculations. These punish lightweight items in oversized boxes. A skincare serum that weighs 2 ounces costs way more to ship because it's bouncing around in a huge box. You're literally paying to ship air.

Standard fulfillment centers pick the wrong carriers too. They use whatever shipping partner gives them bulk discounts, even if that carrier charges extra for small parcels. Meanwhile, your jewelry orders get stored in sections meant for big items. Workers have to walk further to pick them. Everything takes longer and costs more.

You end up paying warehouse fees, shipping premiums, and dealing with damaged products. Your customers open boxes that look unprofessional. Small items need different handling, not the same approach used for everything else.

Inventory Intake and Storage

Precision Picking and Packing
Workers pick several orders at once, which cuts down on walking time. Your jewelry gets wrapped properly and put in a box that actually fits, not a giant container with tons of bubble wrap.
