Apparel & Fashion Distribution
From the container at the port to a compliant carton at the retailer — receiving, storage, pick/pack and returns for clothing and footwear brands, out of our Kent warehouse.
Apparel moves in waves — a season lands all at once, sells through, and the returns come back. A general warehouse that's built for steady pallet storage struggles with that rhythm. We handle clothing and footwear distribution the way it actually flows: receive the import containers fast, store them through the pre-season, then pick and ship to retailers and direct-to-consumer as the orders hit — without you carrying fixed warehouse overhead in the slow months.
What we handle for apparel brands
We pull your import containers off the Seattle & Tacoma terminals and bring them straight to our floor — no third-party drayage handoff.
Carton-level receiving, SKU-level inventory and seasonal storage that scales up and back down with your buy.
DTC orders and B2B/wholesale cases picked, packed and shipped — by SKU, size run or store.
Routing guides, ticketing, labels and pallet specs for big-box and department-store receivers — and Amazon FBA prep.
Reverse logistics for DTC — inspect, restock or grade, so sellable units get back into inventory.
Re-ticketing, re-packing and pallet rework when a load needs to meet a different spec.
Most apparel for the U.S. market arrives in ocean containers, and the slow, expensive part is rarely the storage — it's the handoffs. A container sits at the terminal, gets drayed to one yard, transloaded at another, then trucked to a fulfillment center across town. Every handoff is a day and a markup. Because we run drayage, warehousing and fulfillment as one operation in Kent, your spring line can come off the boat and into pickable, sellable inventory without leaving our control. One team, one invoice, from the Port of Seattle or Tacoma to the store.
Apparel distribution is the 3PL handling of clothing and footwear — receiving imported product, storing it, then picking, packing and shipping it to retailers and direct-to-consumer customers, including retailer compliance and returns.

We prep to retailer routing guides — ticketing, labeling and pallet specs — and handle Amazon FBA prep for sellers going through Amazon.
That's the core of it. We pull your import containers off the Seattle and Tacoma terminals and bring them straight to our Kent warehouse, so there's no separate drayage vendor in the middle.
Yes — storage flexes with your buy, so you're not paying for empty racking in the off-season.
