Ecommerce Fulfillment
Ecommerce fulfillment, without the fulfillment headcount
Peregrine Shipping coordinates ecommerce fulfillment through partner facilities, from receiving through pick, pack, and returns.
Overview
Order fulfillment built for online selling
Ecommerce fulfillment services turn inventory into delivered orders without you running a warehouse yourself. That means receiving stock, storing it, picking and packing individual orders as they come in, and getting them to a carrier, all on the timeline online buyers expect. We coordinate this through a network of partner fulfillment facilities rather than a single site we operate ourselves.
Order volume in ecommerce is uneven by nature, so the fulfillment setup has to flex with it. We scope receiving, storage, and pick-and-pack capacity around your actual order pattern, including prep work like poly-bagging, bundling, or marketplace-specific labeling where your channel requires it.
Returns are part of the picture too. A workable returns process, checking condition, restocking or disposing appropriately, and keeping your inventory numbers accurate, matters as much to customer experience as the outbound shipment does. Getting returns wrong quietly erodes margin, one mishandled unit at a time, so we treat it as a core part of the fulfillment scope rather than an afterthought bolted on at the end.
Receiving and storage
Inbound inventory is received, checked, and stored through our partner fulfillment network. Discrepancies against your packing list are flagged before stock is put away, not after an order fails to ship.
Pick, pack, and prep
Orders are picked and packed to your specification, with prep work such as bundling or labeling where needed. Packing materials and box sizing can be scoped to your product to control both damage risk and shipping cost.
Marketplace prep support
Prep for marketplace requirements can be arranged where applicable. Tell us which marketplace and product category you’re working with and we’ll confirm exactly what’s needed.
Returns handling
Returned items are received, inspected, and restocked or processed according to your instructions. We can also flag return patterns worth a closer look, such as a specific SKU coming back at an unusual rate.
From inbound stock to delivered order
How it works
Step 1
Inventory receiving
Stock arrives at the fulfillment facility and is checked in against your packing list.
Step 2
Storage and prep
Inventory is stored and any required prep, labeling, or bundling is completed ahead of orders.
Step 3
Order pick and pack
Orders are picked, packed, and labeled as they come in through your sales channel.
Step 4
Carrier handoff
Packed orders are handed to the appropriate parcel or courier carrier for delivery.
Step 5
Returns processing
Returns are checked in and your inventory counts are updated to match.
Reference
Common fulfillment prep tasks
| Prep task | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Poly-bagging | Individually bagging units for protection or marketplace compliance |
| Bundling and kitting | Combining multiple SKUs into a single sellable unit |
| FNSKU/barcode labeling | Applying marketplace-specific barcodes ahead of shipment |
| Quality check | Inspecting units for damage or defects before they’re stored or shipped |
These are standard prep tasks used across ecommerce fulfillment and Amazon FBA prep generally. Availability through our partner network depends on the facility and product.
