Shipping & Fulfillment
Here is the secret the big retailers do not advertise: how you ship is a profit lever, not just a delivery method. Master it, and your margins take care of themselves.
How fulfillment works
Once you place an order, your verified supplier gets to work. Products are typically dispatched 5–10 days after purchase while they pick, pack, and quality-check your goods. From there, your shipping method decides how fast — and how cheaply — it reaches you.
Two ways to ship
Express / Air
Fast, but you pay for the speed. Higher cost per unit eats into your margin. Great for samples, hot restocks, and need-it-now moments.
Freight
Around 30–40 days after purchase — and the smartest money in the game ships this way. Lowest cost per unit, fattest margins, built for volume.
Why freight is the pro move 🚀
Freight is how the big players keep their margins fat. When you ship in volume, the cost to move each unit drops to pennies — and every penny you save is a penny that lands in your pocket instead of a courier’s.
Yes, it takes a few weeks. But here is the play: pre-sell while it ships. Take orders, collect deposits, and build hype so your stock is half-sold before it even lands. Patient shipping, impatient profits.
