Red Stag Fulfillment and Veyer built their fulfillment operations around different strengths.
Red Stag specializes in big, heavy, and bulky products with financially-backed guarantees. Veyer leveraged Office Depot’s distribution infrastructure to offer warehouse space, Amazon prep, and B2B distribution.
Your ideal fulfillment partner depends on what you ship, which channels you sell through, and how much accountability you need.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: In January 2026, Veyer announced it is exiting the third-party e-commerce fulfillment business following Atlas Holdings’ acquisition of Office Depot. Brands currently using Veyer for fulfillment will need to find alternative providers. This comparison covers what both companies offered to help displaced Veyer clients evaluate Red Stag as an alternative.

Head-to-Head Comparison
Product Types & Handling
Both companies developed expertise in bulkier product categories, but from different angles.
Red Stag built its infrastructure specifically around big, heavy, and bulky products from day one. The company handles items that require freight shipping alongside standard parcels, with warehouse layouts, equipment, and processes designed for larger SKUs. This extends to high-value products where accuracy and shrinkage prevention directly impact profitability. Red Stag’s operators founded the company after experiencing fulfillment failures with their own ecommerce businesses.
Veyer inherited infrastructure optimized for office products and supplies. The company found a niche in office furniture, gaming chairs, and similar products that fit naturally within Office Depot’s existing distribution capabilities. However, this infrastructure was designed for retail distribution first and adapted for third-party fulfillment second.
For brands shipping fitness equipment, outdoor furniture, or heavy goods that need specialized handling, Red Stag’s purpose-built approach offers advantages over adapted retail infrastructure.
Fulfillment Channels
Red Stag covers DTC parcels, DTC pallets (direct-to-consumer freight shipping), retail distribution to Walmart and Target, and comprehensive Amazon solutions. The Amazon capabilities include FBA prep, Seller Fulfilled Prime certification, and FBM fulfillment. The DTC pallet capability is particularly relevant for brands shipping large items directly to consumers who may have been using Veyer for similar products.
Veyer offered DTC ecommerce fulfillment, B2B distribution, and omnichannel capabilities. The company’s strength was in B2B distribution through Office Depot’s commercial channels, though they expanded to serve DTC brands as well.
For brands selling across DTC, Amazon, and big-box retail, Red Stag offers comprehensive channel coverage from a single inventory pool. The ability to fulfill Walmart, Target, and Amazon orders alongside DTC from one location simplifies operations compared to managing multiple fulfillment relationships.
Service Guarantees
This is where the companies diverge significantly.
Red Stag offers four financially-backed guarantees: zero shrinkage, order accuracy, on-time shipping, and fast receiving. These aren’t just service-level commitments. If Red Stag misses a guarantee, they pay clients for the mistake. This shifts fulfillment risk from the brand to the 3PL and creates aligned incentives for performance.
Veyer published strong performance metrics (99.9% accuracy, 97.53% OTIF rate) but did not offer financially-backed guarantees. The company’s accountability was reputation-based rather than contractual with financial consequences.
For brands where fulfillment errors directly impact margin or customer lifetime value, Red Stag’s guarantee structure provides financial protection that Veyer did not offer.
Technology & Integrations
Red Stag offers direct integrations to major platforms like Amazon and Shopify, with middleware options for additional connections and custom API development for complex requirements. The focus is on reliable data flow across omnichannel operations, with technology that supports the specific needs of heavy and bulky product fulfillment.
Veyer provided integrations with Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Amazon, ShipStation, NetSuite, and QuickBooks. Their technology stack supported standard ecommerce workflows with custom API options available for larger clients.
Both companies offered the core integrations ecommerce brands need. The key consideration for former Veyer clients is ensuring their existing integrations can be replicated with a new provider.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose Red Stag if:
You ship big, heavy, or bulky products
You need parcel and pallet/freight capabilities from one provider
You want financially-backed guarantees that pay when mistakes happen
You sell across DTC, Amazon, and big-box retail like Walmart and Target
You’re an enterprise or fast-growing brand prioritizing fulfillment accountability
You were using Veyer and need a 3PL with similar product handling capabilities
Veyer was a good fit if:
You shipped office furniture, gaming chairs, or similar products
You needed B2B distribution through Office Depot’s commercial network
You valued broad geographic coverage over specialized handling
You were comfortable with performance metrics without financial guarantees
NOTE: With Veyer exiting third-party fulfillment, brands meeting the above criteria should evaluate Red Stag and other Veyer alternatives based on their specific product and channel requirements.
For Former Veyer Clients
If you’re currently using Veyer for fulfillment and need to transition to a new provider, here’s what to consider:
Timeline: With Veyer winding down third-party operations, don’t wait until the last minute. Fulfillment transitions typically take 4-8 weeks for proper inventory transfer and integration setup.
Product fit: If you ship bulky or heavy products that Veyer handled well, Red Stag’s purpose-built infrastructure for these categories may be a natural fit.
Channel coverage: Evaluate whether your new 3PL supports all your sales channels. Red Stag’s omnichannel capabilities (DTC, retail, Amazon) can consolidate what may have required multiple providers.
Guarantees: Consider whether financially-backed guarantees matter for your business. Red Stag is one of the few 3PLs that pays when they miss performance targets.
