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 restaurant equipment fulfillment & shipping to customers
01
Restaurant equipment ranges dramatically in size and weight, from small kitchen tools to massive commercial ovens, requiring flexible storage and specialized handling solutions.
02
Many pieces of commercial kitchen equipment require careful positioning and secure packaging to protect sensitive electronic components, glass doors, and precision calibration during transit.
03
Equipment often needs coordinated delivery timing with restaurant construction or renovation schedules, demanding precise logistics coordination and reliable delivery windows.
04
White glove delivery and installation services are frequently required for heavy commercial appliances, necessitating partnerships with specialized delivery teams and technicians.
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.
Restaurant equipment fulfillment isn’t the only thing we have going for us…

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.
