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.

Common challenges of safes & gun safes fulfillment & shipping to customers
01
Safes and gun safes are extremely heavy items, often weighing hundreds of pounds, requiring specialized equipment and handling expertise during storage and transportation.
02
The high-value nature of safes demands enhanced security protocols throughout the fulfillment process to prevent theft and ensure customer confidence.
03
Gun safes require compliance with firearm-related shipping regulations, proper documentation, and secure delivery to authorized recipients only.
04
Precise delivery execution is essential to avoid costly returns, as damaged safes are nearly impossible for customers to ship back without specialized equipment.
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.
Specialty safes & gun safes 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!).

Red Stag Safes & Gun Safes Fulfillment FAQs
What are Red Stag Fulfillment’s guarantees?
We have 4 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.
These aren’t empty promises—they come with real compensation. If your safes ship late, we pay you $50 directly. Miss our receiving timeline? That’s $50 per late delivery to you. Ship the wrong safe model or quantity? We’ll pay you $50 and cover all shipping costs to correct the mistake. And if we ever lose one of your valuable safes or gun safes, we’ll reimburse you for your cost. We know security products require special handling and accountability, which is why our guarantees have teeth.
Where are Red Stag Fulfillment’s warehouses?
Red Stag Fulfillment strategically operates two warehouse hubs—one in Sweetwater, Tennessee (Knoxville) and another in Salt Lake City, Utah. This bicoastal approach offers optimal shipping times nationwide while minimizing expensive inventory balancing between locations.
For heavy, valuable items like safes and gun safes, having just two strategically positioned warehouses creates the perfect balance of efficient nationwide delivery and inventory management. While warehouse placement is a complex consideration, our experience shows that clients consistently appreciate this setup once they experience the benefits of reduced shipping costs and delivery times.
What is Red Stag Fulfillment’s pricing?
We develop custom pricing for each client because no two safe retailers have identical needs. We actively negotiate to secure the best possible rates and have successfully established industry-leading shipping discounts specifically for heavy, valuable products like safes and gun safes. Our focus remains on optimizing your total fulfillment costs, not just individual line items.
Will Red Stag Fulfillment integrate with my store?
Yes, we’ll seamlessly integrate with your store platform. Regardless of which online retail system you use to sell your safes, we’ll sync it with our fulfillment system. We maintain APIs for all major ecommerce platforms and can develop custom integrations for unique situations to ensure smooth inventory management and order processing.
