We pick, pack and ship DTC orders seven days a week from four U.S. fulfillment centers in Lancaster and Mountville, PA, Reno, NV and Houston, TX, reaching 90% of U.S. consumers in 1–2 days by ground with 99.9% order accuracy.

  • Compliance: All four facilities FDA-registered and cGMP compliant
  • Locations: Lancaster and Mountville, PA, Reno, NV and Houston, TX

Ecommerce fulfillment is the storage, pick-pack, and shipping of online orders directly to consumers, plus the returns that come back — the operation that turns a checkout into a package on a doorstep. Jay Group runs ecommerce and direct-to-consumer fulfillment from facilities we own and operate, with the shipping speed, order accuracy, and brand-presentation control that decide whether a first order becomes a repeat customer.

Why Ecommerce Fulfillment Matters

For a DTC brand, fulfillment is the only physical moment a customer ever has with you. A late shipment, a wrong item, or a damaged box is not a warehouse problem — it is a refund, a bad review, and a customer who buys somewhere else next time. As order volume climbs, the margin for error shrinks: a small mispick rate spread across thousands of parcels a week becomes real money in reships, support tickets, and lost repeat purchases. Fast, accurate shipping and a clean unboxing are what protect the customer relationship you paid to acquire.

Online orders are a growing share of every brand’s revenue. The U.S. Census Bureau puts e-commerce at 17.1% of all U.S. retail sales in the second quarter of 2026, up 12.2% from a year earlier.

Time in Transit That Drives Performance

Speed isn’t just about moving faster — it’s about shipping smarter. By positioning 3PL locations strategically and optimizing last-mile delivery, Jay Group enables 1–2 day ground delivery to 90% of the U.S., reducing reliance on costly expedited shipping. With 7-day-a-week fulfillment and shipping, our last-mile optimization becomes a competitive advantage — improving delivery times, controlling transportation costs, and meeting customer expectations even during peak demand.

Actual delivery times vary by carrier, service level, weather, and operational conditions. For accurate transit times specific to your business, request a transportation analysis.

Pick and Pack Fulfillment

Pick and pack is the core of ecommerce fulfillment. For every order, the warehouse picks the right items from their storage locations, packs them in the right box with any inserts, and labels the package to ship.

  1. Order in: orders flow automatically from Shopify, Amazon and your other channels into Jay Group’s order management system.
  2. Pick: each item is scanned against the order in Manhattan Associates WMS, with UPC verification at the pick and lot and expiration control (FIFO or FEFO).
  3. Pack: items go into right-sized packaging with your inserts, samples or branded unboxing.
  4. Ship: the package is labeled with the carrier and service that fit the delivery promise and cost.
  5. Track: tracking numbers flow back to your store, so customers get their shipping confirmation.

Pick and pack is usually priced per order plus a fee for each additional item, with packaging, inserts and kitting quoted separately. Jay Group builds each quote from your order profile; see fulfillment pricing.

What Sets Jay Group's Ecommerce Fulfillment Apart

This is where Jay Group is genuinely different, and it is worth being specific rather than generic.

99.9% order accuracy and on-time shipping

Jay Group runs its ecommerce operation at a 99.9% order accuracy and on-time shipping rate. In DTC that number is the customer experience — it is the difference between an order that arrives right, on time, and a wrong or late parcel that turns into a support ticket and a one-star review.

Seven-day fulfillment across facilities we own and operate

We are not an asset-light platform routing your inventory through a network we don’t control. We own and run four facilities — Lancaster and Mountville, Pennsylvania, in the East; Reno, Nevada, in the West; and Houston, Texas, in the Central/Gulf region — more than 770,000 square feet reaching over 90% of the U.S. within two days. Reno sits eight minutes from the airport for time-sensitive and promotional SKUs, and we ship seven days a week, so orders keep moving to consumers over weekends instead of stacking up until Monday.

One inventory pool across DTC, wholesale, and subscription

Your ecommerce, wholesale, and subscription orders all draw from a single accurate inventory pool. You don’t split stock across separate operations or discover you sold online what you already committed to a retailer — the same lot-controlled inventory feeds every channel.

The Technology Behind Ecommerce Fulfillment

Jay Group runs ecommerce fulfillment on Manhattan Associates WMS — a longtime Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems — with AI and machine-learning features built for DTC accuracy: back-order management, SKU substitution, UPC verification at the pick, and lot and expiration tracking with FIFO/FEFO rotation. A proprietary Order Management System and a real-time Client Access Portal give you inventory levels, orders, tracking, and freight costs in one view, and 50-plus native integrations connect the storefronts, marketplaces, and carriers your team already uses. AI forecasting helps you hold the right stock so cash isn’t tied up in inventory you don’t need.

Facilities we own & operate across the East, West & Central U.S.

We are not an asset-light platform brokering your inventory to a network we don’t control. We own and run four facilities — Lancaster and Mountville, Pennsylvania, in the East; Reno, Nevada, in the West; and Houston, Texas, in the Central/Gulf region — more than 770,000 square feet reaching over 90% of the U.S. within two days. For a wholesale program that means product positioned close to your retail buyers and their distribution centers, on floors we actually staff.

Why Jay Group for Ecommerce Fulfillment

Every Jay Group facility is FDA-registered and cGMP compliant, ISO 27001 certified, and DEA-registered, and we handle hazardous materials including class 2 aerosols, class 3 flammables, and class 9 lithium — so regulated and restricted products ship to consumers under proper handling, not just general merchandise. Our packaging is right-sized and sustainable, with green returns and renewable energy behind the operation. And because we have been third-generation, privately owned and woman-led since 1965, we answer to clients, not outside investors — when your customer experience and an investor’s return would conflict, there is no conflict here.

Industries We Serve with Ecommerce Fulfillment

Jay Group runs DTC and subscription programs for supplement and nutraceutical brands, health and beauty, personal care, food and beverage, pet, kids and baby, medical devices, and other regulated and lifestyle categories — the same brands that rely on our FDA-registered, lot-controlled operation for their wholesale and retail channels.

Ecommerce Fulfillment FAQ

What is ecommerce fulfillment?

Ecommerce fulfillment is the storage, picking, packing, and shipping of online orders directly to consumers, along with processing the returns that come back — everything that happens between a customer’s checkout and the package arriving at their door.

How is ecommerce fulfillment different from B2B or wholesale fulfillment?

Ecommerce ships single and multi-item orders to individual consumers; B2B ships bulk case and pallet orders to retailers against strict specifications. Jay Group runs both from one inventory pool, so you don’t split stock across operations.

Does Jay Group handle subscription and crowdfunding fulfillment?

Yes — Jay Group fulfills recurring subscription boxes and crowdfunding and Kickstarter campaigns alongside standard DTC orders, all from the same facilities and inventory.

Who is Jay Group’s ecommerce fulfillment best for?

Growing DTC and subscription brands — especially in regulated categories that need FDA-registered, lot-controlled handling — generally shipping at least 5,000 orders a month, with flexibility case by case.

What is pick and pack fulfillment?

Pick and pack is the part of fulfillment where a warehouse picks the items for each order from storage, packs them in the right box with any inserts, and labels the package to ship.

How is pick and pack priced?

Usually per order plus a fee for each additional item, with packaging, inserts and kitting priced separately. Jay Group quotes it from your order volume, products and channels.

How much does ecommerce fulfillment cost?

Most 3PLs price ecommerce fulfillment in four parts: receiving, storage, pick and pack per order, and shipping. Packaging, kitting and returns are priced separately. We quote from your order volume, SKU count and product profile. See how our 3PL pricing works.

What delivery times can I promise my customers?

Only times you can back up. The FTC Mail Order Rule requires a reasonable basis for any shipping time you advertise, and for shipping within 30 days if you state none. Our four centers reach 90% of U.S. consumers in 1–2 days by ground.

Does Jay Group process ecommerce returns?

Yes. Returns come back to the same facility, where our team inspects each item, restocks what is sellable and sets aside the rest. Learn more about our returns management.
