ABOUT
What is eCommerce Fulfillment?
eCommerce fulfillment is the process of moving your product to your customers. This involves receiving inventory, storing and packing products, and then shipping orders. It may also involve handling returns and managing customer service.
How ShipCalm’s Ecommerce Fulfillment Works
Every order that moves through ShipCalm follows the same seven-step process — built for speed, accuracy, and brand consistency from the moment inventory arrives to the moment it reaches your customer.
Step 1: Receiving When your inventory arrives at our fulfillment center, every inbound shipment is checked against your Advance Shipping Notice (ASN), inspected for damage, scanned, and logged into our warehouse management system. Each SKU is assigned a bin location immediately.
Step 2: Storage Your inventory is stored across our Los Angeles and Indianapolis facilities based on your customer geography and delivery speed requirements. Distributed storage means more of your customers receive orders in 2 days via ground shipping — no air freight required.
Step 3: Order Integration When a customer places an order on your Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, or any of our 60+ connected platforms, it flows automatically into our WMS. No manual uploads, no delays.
Step 4: Picking Our warehouse teams use scan-verified picking to retrieve items for each order. Every pick is confirmed against the order before moving to packing, eliminating mispicks before they become misshipments.
Step 5: Packing Orders are packed using the optimal box size, protective materials, and any custom inserts or branded packaging your brand requires. Our system selects packaging automatically to minimize dimensional weight charges.
Step 6: Shipping Packed orders are handed to your carrier of choice — UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, or our recommended carrier for each route — with tracking information uploaded to your storefront automatically.
Step 7: Returns Returned items are received, inspected, and restocked or processed according to your returns policy. Every return is logged in real time so your inventory counts stay accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Ecommerce fulfillment is the end-to-end process of storing inventory, picking and packing orders, and shipping them to customers after an online purchase.

Fulfillment costs depend on your order volume, product dimensions, storage requirements, and shipping destinations. The main cost categories are receiving fees, monthly storage, pick and pack per order ($2–5 for standard items), and carrier shipping rates.
