Apparel fulfillment is harder than it looks. SKUs multiply. Returns pile up. Sizes get mixed. Seasonal demand spikes without warning.
ShipBots handles apparel fulfillment for brands that need speed, accuracy, and room to scale. We store, pick, pack, and ship clothing and accessories from our Los Angeles fulfillment center, with nationwide delivery and real-time inventory visibility.
Whether you’re shipping 100 orders a month or 100,000, our apparel fulfillment services are designed to keep orders moving and customers happy without adding operational chaos to your day.
You focus on growing the brand.
We handle the boxes.
Apparel SKUs add up fast. Sizes, colors, fits, and seasonal drops make inventory messy.
Our apparel fulfillment platform gives you real-time inventory tracking by SKU, variant, and location. You always know what’s in stock, what’s moving, and what’s about to run out. No guesswork. No surprises.
Speed matters in apparel. Late shipments turn into refunds.
We process your apparel orders quickly and accurately, with same-day and next-day fulfillment available. Orders flow directly from your ecommerce platform into our warehouse, so nothing gets stuck waiting in line.
Clothing fulfillment falls apart when warehouses get sloppy.
We organize apparel inventory by SKU, size, and variant so picks stay accurate and fulfillment stays consistent. That structure means fewer mis-ships, fewer returns, and fewer angry emails landing in your inbox.
Returns are part of apparel. Pretending otherwise just makes it worse.
We offer apparel returns and exchanges customized to your brand’s policies. Whether it’s size swaps, refunds, or restocks, we handle the logistics so your team doesn’t have to.
Apparel moves differently than boxed goods. Soft goods wrinkle, sizes multiply your SKU count fast, and a single style can land as forty separate line items once you account for size and colorway. Here is how we handle it end to end.
Returns are the part of apparel fulfillment that quietly eats margin. Clothing carries the highest return rate of any ecommerce category, largely because fit is a guess until the box is open. If returned units sit in a corner for three weeks, that is inventory you paid for and cannot sell.
We process apparel returns as their own workflow. Each returned item is inspected, graded, and routed: back to sellable stock, to a repair or rework queue, or to disposal. Sellable units go back into inventory and show up as available in your portal, so the size small that came back Tuesday can ship out Wednesday.
You set the grading rules. Some brands restock anything without visible wear. Others want anything opened pulled from primary stock. We follow your standard, not ours, and your account manager can adjust it as your policy changes.

Apparel may be lightweight, but fulfillment mistakes get expensive fast.
From folded garments to polybags, boxes, and custom inserts, ShipBots handles apparel packaging with care and consistency. Items like folded shirts, outerwear, accessories, and boxed products are packed to protect the product and represent your brand properly.
Our warehouse team follows clear packaging rules for each SKU, so every order goes out the way it should, no matter how busy things get.
A twelve-style apparel line is rarely twelve SKUs. Run it across five sizes and three colorways and you are managing 180 individually trackable units, each with its own sell-through rate.
We manage over 100,000 SKUs across our facilities, and variant-heavy catalogs are a normal Tuesday. Every size and color combination is tracked separately in real time, across every channel you sell on: your own store, Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, wholesale, and retail. That means you can see that navy is moving and olive is not while there is still time to do something about it, and you are not accidentally selling a size that ran out three days ago.
Your customer experience doesn’t stop at checkout.
ShipBots supports branded apparel packaging including custom boxes, poly mailers, inserts, and packing materials. Branded packaging improves unboxing, reinforces your brand, and increases repeat purchases without slowing down fulfillment.
You supply the materials.We make sure they’re used correctly, every time.
Apparel volume is never a flat line. A drop, a collab, a seasonal changeover, or one video that takes off can put a month of orders through in 48 hours.
Because there's no long-term contract and no volume minimum, you're not paying for peak capacity in your slow months or scrambling for it in your fast ones. You scale up for the launch and back down after, and your pricing follows your actual volume.
We also take on the work around the launch itself: kitting, assembly, custom inserts, and light rework or refurbishment. If you're running a crowdfunding launch or a limited drop that needs special handling, tell your account manager and we'll scope it.
Fulfillment pricing gets confusing because most 3PLs split it across a pile of line items and then add fees you did not budget for. Here's how we structure ours.
Your costs come down to three things: receiving your inventory, storing it, and picking, packing, and shipping each order. On top of that sits a flat monthly maintenance fee that covers your dedicated account manager, the warehouse and order management software, inventory management, discounted carrier rates, claims handling, and freight management. API connectivity to your sales channels is included.
Anything genuinely case by case, like fragile handling, unusual packaging, storage insurance, or special projects, we price and tell you before it appears on an invoice. There are no long-term contracts and no minimums. We would rather earn the account every month on performance than hold you to a signature.
For your specific volume and SKU mix, visit our fulfillment center pricing page or request a quote and we will price your actual catalog.
No. We work with brands shipping 50 orders a month and brands shipping 50,000, and lower-volume accounts get the same dedicated account manager as everyone else. That is the whole idea behind why ShipBots exists.
As little as 48 hours from dock to stock. We are minutes from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which shortens the timeline further for import-heavy and overseas-manufactured lines.
Yes. There are no volume minimums and no long-term contract, so you scale up for a launch and back down afterward without renegotiating anything. Tell your account manager what is coming and we will staff for it.
Yes. Garments are stored and prepped flat, folded, polybagged, or on hangers depending on the item and how you want it to reach the customer. You specify the standard and we hold to it.
Every returned item is inspected and graded against rules you set, then routed back to sellable stock, into a rework queue, or to disposal. Restocked units become available in your portal immediately, so returned inventory gets back into circulation instead of sitting idle.
Apparel fulfillment is the storage, picking, packing, and shipping of clothing and fashion products by a third-party logistics provider. It differs from standard ecommerce fulfillment because apparel carries high SKU variant counts across sizes and colors, high return rates, and handling requirements like folding, polybagging, and hanging storage.
We have a monthly maintenance fee that covers premium personal account management and one software connection. This is separate from any storage fees.
Yes. We’re happy to accommodate custom branded packaging to enhance your DTC fulfillment experience. While we provide standard supplies, using your own custom boxes will be billed as an additional item for each order.
Yes! There are no long-term commitments in place to use our services. While we use a Master Service Agreement (MSA) to define service levels and protect both parties, we believe in earning your business every month through performance, not legal lock-ins.
Transparent pricing. Simple pricing based on volume of orders. No hidden fees.
