One of the reasons we moved to Red Stag is because they had secured big discounts with their carriers. If you’re a brand with large products, high surcharges for big and heavy items can really kill you.

Common challenges of bulk pet food & farm feed fulfillment & shipping to customers
01
Bulk pet food and farm feed products are exceptionally heavy and bulky, requiring specialized handling equipment and reinforced packaging to prevent bag tears and product spillage.
02
These products often have limited shelf life and can attract pests if not stored properly, demanding climate-controlled environments and strict inventory rotation practices.
03
Carriers often apply dimensional weight surcharges and rural delivery fees that can dramatically increase bulk animal feed shipping costs.
04
Precise shipping helps to avoid costly returns from customers when products arrive damaged, contaminated, or past their prime freshness date.
The Red Stag Story
Focusing on big, heavy and bulky fulfillment since 2012
In 2011, our co-founders were on their third 3PL and at their wit’s end.
Their sporting goods e-commerce company was growing rapidly. But fulfillment was a major problem— late deliveries to customers, lost inventory, and package mixups were costing them dearly—in both money and customer loyalty.
One of the problems? Their inventory was heavy and bulky. And the 3PLs were struggling with the (literal) heavy lifting.
This was the moment Red Stag was born.
And since our very first client was our owners’ sporting goods company, we purpose-built our operations to handle big, heavy, and bulky fulfillment from day 1.
Pet food & farm feed fulfillment isn’t the only thing we have going for us…
