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.
Red Stag went really aggressive on cutting down those costs with the carriers, and they could pass the savings on to us.

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.
Mattress fulfillment isn’t the only thing we have going for us…
US support team with dedicated account managers
You never get lost in the shuffle at Red Stag Fulfillment. Need to pick up the phone and talk to someone today? You got it. We aren’t going to send you down a support ticket rabbit hole with an outsourced rep.
Clean and organized warehouses
This should be a given for any 3PL, right? Sadly, it’s not. Cleanliness and organization are two of the best leading indicators of a successful operation. We’re proud of our warehouses and welcome you to come see for yourself, anytime.
Privately owned
12 years later, our co-founders still own 100% of Red Stag. They’re in it for the long haul. No venture capital pushing for growth at all costs. No 4PL shenanigans. We value a reliable and consistent fulfillment experience that brings peace of mind to operators.
Not convinced?
We get it, this is a difficult decision.
Your products are the life of your brand, and having them at the mercy of an outsourced partner requires a lot of trust. That’s why we have one of the most in-depth consultative sales processes in the industry to make sure you find the very best fit—even if it’s not us (we turn away over 95% of companies, helping them find better fits instead!). Send us some info and we will help point you in the right direction.
Red Stag Mattress Fulfillment FAQs
What are Red Stag Fulfillment’s guarantees?
Red Stag Fulfillment offers four key guarantees: 1) All inventory is received and ready to ship within 2 business days, 2) ZERO inventory shrinkage, 3) 100% on-time shipping, and 4) 100% order accuracy.
We stand behind these guarantees with financial compensation. If we ship a mattress late, we’ll pay you $50 directly. For missed receiving deadlines, you’ll receive $50 per late delivery. Inaccurate orders result in a $50 payment plus coverage of shipping costs to correct the mistake. In the rare event of lost inventory, we provide full reimbursement of the wholesale cost of the mattress.
Where are Red Stag Fulfillment’s warehouses?
Red Stag Fulfillment operates two strategically located warehouse hubs: one in Sweetwater, Tennessee (near Knoxville) and another in Salt Lake City, Utah. This dual-warehouse setup is designed to optimize shipping times across the United States while minimizing costly inventory balancing between facilities.
By positioning one warehouse central to each coast, we unlock efficient distribution of mattresses nationwide. Our clients consistently appreciate the benefits of this strategic arrangement once they experience it firsthand.
