With Red Stag, I spend about an hour each week on routine fulfillment tasks. At my old 3PL, I was spending more than 10 hours a week dealing with fulfillment. Now I can focus on growing the business instead of babysitting fulfillment operations.

One of the reasons we moved to Red Stag is because they had secured big discounts with their carriers on the things that really kill a big product brand: high surcharges for big and heavy items.
Red Stag went really aggressive on cutting those down with the carriers, and they could pass the savings on to us.

Why partnering with a 3PL built for seasonal and holiday products benefits your brand:
Scalable capacity for seasonal peaks
Our operations are designed to flex with your business needs, expanding during your busy holiday rushes and contracting during slower periods. Unlike many 3PLs that struggle with sudden volume increases, we maintain staffing and operational flexibility specifically to accommodate the dramatic swings that come with seasonal merchandise.
A warehouse and process
designed for seasonal fluctuations
Our facilities are built to accommodate the dramatic inventory fluctuations that come with seasonal merchandise. We offer flexible storage solutions and scalable operations that expand when you need more capacity and contract when you don’t, ensuring you’re never paying for space you aren’t using.
Guarantees that make a difference
We offer zero inventory shrinkage and 100% order accuracy guarantees. For seasonal merchandise with tight selling windows, this protection is crucial. If we mess up, we’ll reimburse your full costs, pay you $50 compensation, or both—because we know a missed holiday shipping deadline can’t be made up later.
Hybrid automation approach
Unlike 3PLs that can’t adapt to changing product mixes, we employ a hybrid model optimized for seasonal flexibility. Our highly trained team works alongside specialized automation to scale operations up or down as needed, ensuring we can handle your Valentine’s Day rush just as efficiently as your Christmas volume.
Common challenges of seasonal & holiday product fulfillment & shipping to customers
01
Seasonal merchandise requires significant warehouse space for short periods, creating inefficient capacity utilization and high storage costs during peak seasons.
02
Order volume fluctuations can increase by 5-10x during seasonal peaks, requiring flexible staffing and operations to maintain accuracy and on-time shipping.
03
Tight selling windows mean late deliveries can lead to customer dissatisfaction and expensive returns after the holiday or season has passed.
04
Forecasting errors can leave brands with either too much unsold inventory after a season or stockouts during critical selling periods, both of which seriously impact profitability.
The Red Stag story
Committed to accuracy and trustworthy fulfillment since 2012
In 2011, our co-founders were on their third 3PL and at their wit’s end.
Their ecommerce 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.
The problem? Their 3PL partners consistently failed to deliver the accuracy and reliability they promised. Orders weren’t shipping on time, inventory was disappearing, and customer complaints were mounting.
This was the moment Red Stag was born.
Our founders created the fulfillment company they wished had existed—one built on accountability, accuracy, and trust. They designed a 3PL that would care about each client’s business as much as they cared about their own.
Seasonal fulfillment isn’t the only thing we have going for us…
