Streamline your luggage fulfillment with the industry leader in big, heavy, and bulky fulfillment
Red Stag specializes in the careful handling and efficient shipping of travel gear and luggage products that require special attention:
Hardside spinner luggage
Hard and soft suitcases
Carry-on backpacks
Duffel bags
Garment bags
Packing cubes
Travel toiletry kits
Luggage scales
TSA-approved locks
Passport holders
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.

Why partnering with a 3PL built for large items like travel gear & luggage benefits your brand:
Expert shipping savings
Transporting bulky travel gear and luggage items comes with premium shipping costs. Through our combined volume across multiple clients, we’ve secured exceptional carrier discounts specifically beneficial for oversized luggage sets and heavy travel equipment with challenging dimensional weights.
Travel gear-optimized facilities
Our warehouses feature strategic layouts with extended vertical space and extra-wide pathways specifically designed for bulky items. Our specialists excel at handling oversized luggage collections and delicate travel equipment, treating each piece with the attention high-value travel gear deserves.
Protection guarantees
When selling premium travel gear and luggage that customers trust with their belongings, mistakes are costly to your reputation. That’s why we offer zero-inventory-loss and perfect-shipping guarantees, providing full reimbursement plus compensation if your valuable travel merchandise is ever compromised in our care.
People-first fulfillment
Unlike competitors who rely on rigid automation systems designed for standard-sized parcels, we implement a strategic blend of specialized team members and custom automation specifically engineered for handling oversized luggage and unique travel equipment configurations.
Common challenges of travel gear & luggage fulfillment & shipping to customers
01
Travel gear and luggage products vary widely in size and weight, from compact accessories to oversized suitcases requiring specialized handling and storage solutions.
02
Luggage often features multiple compartments, wheels, and retractable handles that can be damaged during transit if not properly packaged and secured.
03
Premium travel products frequently include restricted materials like lithium power banks that require special documentation and shipping compliance.
04
Precise shipping helps to avoid costly returns from customers with damage through the shipping process, particularly critical for high-value luggage investments.
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.
Travel gear & luggage 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!).

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 guarantees exist because we align our incentives with yours – when you experience pain, we do too.
Where are Red Stag Fulfillment’s warehouses?
Red Stag Fulfillment strategically has two warehouse hubs, one in Sweetwater, Tennessee (Knoxville) and one in Salt Lake City, Utah. We’ve found that two warehouses—one located central to each coast—is optimal for the fastest shipping time while minimizing costly inventory balancing between locations. This setup allows us to efficiently ship travel gear and luggage to customers nationwide within 1-2 days in most cases. Warehouse placement is a complex issue, but our clients consistently find this two-location strategy delivers the best balance of speed and cost-effectiveness.
What is Red Stag Fulfillment’s pricing?
Pricing is custom to each client, as no two stores and shipping needs are alike. We strive to get the best rates whenever possible and are proud to have negotiated the best shipping discounts in the industry for travel gear and luggage items, which can be bulky, oddly-shaped, or require special handling.
Will Red Stag Fulfillment integrate with my store?
Yes, your store will integrate with Red Stag. No matter which online retail platform you use, we’ll sync it with our system. We have APIs for all the major ecommerce platforms and can provide custom integrations for unique circumstances to ensure your travel gear and luggage business operates seamlessly.
