For TikTok Shop sellers

TikTok Shop fulfillment for the day your video takes off

When a creator goes live or a video spreads, orders arrive by the hundred. We pick, pack and ship them the same day from our warehouse near Los Angeles, so a good day never turns into a backlog.

Illustration: hourly orders stay low, jump sharply when a creator goes live, then ease off. Below the warehouse floor line, the same orders leave as shipments shortly after, with no backlog.
Illustrative curve, not client data. Orders that reach us by 2 PM Pacific time ship the same day.

Why TikTok Shop orders need a different kind of 3PL

Selling through video changes the shape of your orders. Your fulfillment has to change with it.

Spikes arrive without warning

On most channels, sales grow at a pace you can plan for. On TikTok Shop, one video or one live stream can bring a week of orders in an afternoon. A fulfillment partner for TikTok Shop has to take that day in stride, without a pile of unshipped orders the next morning.

Shipping speed is part of your shop's record

TikTok Shop keeps track of how quickly sellers ship and how many orders go out late, and a poor record can hold a shop back. That is why the day of a spike has to ship like any other day. With same-day shipping, orders that reach us by 2 PM leave the building that day.

Small brands have big days too

Plenty of TikTok sellers are new brands with one or two hit products. We have no order minimums, so you pay per order and per item: a quiet week costs little, and a viral one is covered.

How TikTok Shop fulfillment works with us

Setup and the TikTok Shop integration are free. Most of the work happens before your first live sale.

  1. Connect your TikTok Shop

    We link your shop to our system. From then on, every new order comes to us automatically. No spreadsheets, no copying addresses.

    Free integration
  2. Send stock before the drop

    Ship cartons or pallets to our warehouse in Glendale, from a US supplier or straight from your factory in China. We count everything in and tell you what arrived.

    $1 per carton, $20 per pallet
  3. Go live. We pack.

    Orders that reach us by 2 PM are picked, packed and handed to UPS, FedEx, DHL or USPS the same day. Tracking goes back to TikTok Shop.

    $1.00 per order + $0.75 per item
  4. Returns come to us

    Returned parcels come to Glendale. We inspect each one and restock it or set it aside, as you decide.

    $1.00 + $0.75 per item

What a live sale costs to fulfill

Say a live stream brings in 400 orders with 1.5 items each. This is what picking, packing and processing them costs, before postage.

Example: one live sale, 400 orders

  • Order processing, 400 × $1.00$400.00
  • Pick & pack, 600 items × $0.75$450.00
Total$850.00
