We follow your business’s rules to ensure consistent handling.

Organized inventory management

We keep your returned inventory properly categorized and accounted for.

Our system prevents returned items from disappearing and ensures proper tracking of all merchandise, whether it’s going back to stock or elsewhere.

Transparent returns reporting

Our standard reports help you understand what’s coming back and why, giving you the basic information you need without overwhelming complexity.

Ready for returns management success, built for reliable fulfillment

In 2012, our co-founders, who were ecommerce operators, were on their 3rd 3PL and struggling.

Missed shipments, lost inventory, and unhappy customers.Being entrepreneurs, they made the classic entrepreneur move—build the business they wish they’d found.

So, in 2013, Red Stag Fulfillment was born to provide ecommerce fulfillment services to other ecommerce brands (and their own brand).

“Red Stag Fulfillment got us set up quickly and with little effort on our side. We were onboarded just in time for our peak season, and Red Stag right away delivered flawlessly. They even accommodated our last-minute changes by taking on additional order volume and inbound deliveries, all while beating the promised SLAs. The Red Stag team always replied, “Happy to help!” when we were in a bind due to our order volume being two times our forecast. Red Stag Fulfillment exceeded our expectations from the start. They have already become a valued partner.”

The Red Stag Difference

Poor fulfillment destroys value for your brand.
So, we created Red Stag Guarantees — either we hit these guarantees, or we pay you for our mistakes.

Dock-to-stock in 2 business days

We receive all shipments in less than two days because “Out of Stock” is never okay.

No shrinkage allowed

Once we receive your product, we won’t lose it or damage it.

P.S. Ask other 3PLs about their shrinkage allowance.

Pick & pack accuracy

We get the right stuff to the right customer, or we’ll pay you for the mistake.

On-time shipments

We get orders out the door on time, every time—with 5pm cutoff available for same day shipping.
