Order Fulfillment
Order fulfillment built for accuracy, visibility and scale.
SKU Distribution is an Arizona-based 3PL managing receiving, inventory control, pick and pack, shipping and returns for growing D2C, retail and B2B operations. Our scan-driven workflows and real-time inventory visibility are built to keep orders accurate and moving as volume grows.
Receiving → inventory control → pick & pack → shipping → returns
A connected fulfillment workflow from receiving through returns.
Fulfillment workflow design
SKU builds fulfillment workflows around your inventory profile, order volume, sales channels and service requirements. Receiving, storage, picking, packing and shipping processes are configured to support consistent execution as your operation grows.
Pick, pack & order fulfillment
Orders move through scan-driven picking and packing workflows designed to improve accuracy and reduce manual errors. SKU supports D2C, retail and B2B fulfillment from the same inventory operation.
Real-time inventory & order visibility
Connected systems provide visibility into inventory, orders and fulfillment activity so your team can make decisions without waiting for warehouse updates. Inventory controls help keep available stock and order status visible as volume changes.
Multi-carrier shipping & rate shopping
SKU configures least-cost carrier and service groups around each client’s requirements and rate-shops eligible orders based on weight, dimensions and destination. Orders are evaluated across approved ecommerce carriers to select the lowest-cost qualifying service for each shipment.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about working with SKU Distribution, from onboarding to shipping cutoffs.
SKU Distribution works with growing ecommerce brands, manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and established businesses that need reliable fulfillment across D2C, retail and B2B channels. We are especially well suited for companies whose order volume, channel complexity or inventory requirements have outgrown a manual or one-size-fits-all fulfillment solution.
Onboarding depends on your SKU count, inventory volume, integrations and operational requirements. Before launch, our team maps receiving, inventory setup, order workflows, shipping rules and system integrations so both teams know exactly how the transition will work. For straightforward accounts, onboarding can move quickly; more complex operations are planned around a defined implementation timeline.
SKU integrates with major ecommerce platforms, marketplaces and business systems, including Shopify, WooCommerce, NetSuite, SAP, Amazon and other leading platforms. We also support ERP, EDI and custom integration workflows. During onboarding, we review your technology stack and determine the best integration path for orders, inventory, shipping and reporting.
SKU Distribution operates fulfillment and warehousing facilities in Arizona’s Phoenix metropolitan area. Our location provides access to major Western U.S. markets, national parcel and freight networks, and international transportation routes while also supporting Foreign-Trade Zone operations for qualifying imported inventory.
Eligible imported goods can enter an activated Foreign-Trade Zone without immediately triggering U.S. duties. Duties are generally deferred until merchandise leaves the zone and enters U.S. commerce, helping businesses preserve cash while inventory is stored. Qualifying imported goods that are later re-exported can also avoid U.S. duties.
Returns are processed according to your business rules. SKU can receive, inspect and route returned inventory for restocking, quarantine, refurbishment or another defined disposition. The goal is to give your team visibility into returned inventory while getting sellable products back into available stock quickly.
SKU supports same-day fulfillment based on agreed order cutoff times, service requirements and carrier schedules. Cutoff times are established during onboarding so your team has a clear operating standard for when orders must be received to qualify for same-day processing. Typical cutoff time is 1PM for same-day fulfillment.
Fulfillment pricing is built around the actual requirements of your operation, including monthly order volume, SKU count, receiving, storage, pick-and-pack activity, shipping profile and any value-added services. We price around how your business actually operates rather than forcing every client into the same package. Pricing is very transparent without hidden fees.
Yes. SKU can support D2C, retail, wholesale and B2B fulfillment from a shared inventory operation, helping businesses avoid unnecessary inventory silos while supporting the different workflows, labeling, EDI and shipping requirements of each sales channel.
Yes. Moving inventory from an existing 3PL requires careful planning around inventory reconciliation, integrations, receiving schedules and order continuity. SKU works with your team to build a transition plan designed to minimize disruption while inventory and order flows move into the new operation.
