Riverside, CA · Edison, NJ
Receiving, storage, pick & pack, and shipping for Shopify, TikTok Shop, Temu, eBay, Etsy, and Amazon FBM sellers — run from ARDI’s own warehouses in Riverside, CA and Edison, NJ.
Definitions
E-commerce fulfillment is everything that happens between a customer’s click and their doorstep: receiving inventory into a warehouse, storing it, picking and packing each order, shipping it with the right carrier, and processing returns. Brands outsource this to a third-party logistics (3PL) warehouse when order volume outgrows the garage — or when they need faster delivery zones than a single location can reach.
Process
cartons, pallets, or full containers checked in against your ASN, including bulk imports from overseas suppliers.
racked pallet and shelf storage, month-to-month, no annual lease.
orders picked per channel rules, packed with your materials or ours.
rate-shopped carriers from Riverside, CA and Edison, NJ; most of the US reached in 1–2 shipping days.
received, inspected, graded, restocked or routed per your instructions.
Since the de minimis exemption ended in 2025, direct-from-factory parcel models pay full duties — which is why cross-border DTC brands are moving inventory into US warehouses and fulfilling domestically. ARDI is built for exactly that switch: bulk inventory in, channel orders out.
Shopify
Your Shopify store connects to ARDI’s warehouse flow: orders sync automatically, inventory counts push back to your admin, and tracking numbers post to the order the moment a label prints. You keep the storefront; we run the physical half.
Compared with keeping fulfillment in-house or inside a single-region provider, a bi-coastal 3PL cuts average zones per shipment — which is where Shopify stores actually lose margin as they scale. Setup is a connection, not a migration: most stores are live within days.
Pick & pack
Every order is picked against a scanned pick list, verified at the pack station, and sealed with the right box size and dunnage — batch picking for flash-sale spikes, single-order flow for steady catalogs. Kitting, bundling, inserts, and branded packaging run as part of the same pass, not a separate service ticket.
Pack accuracy is what keeps marketplace ratings alive: a mispicked SKU costs the refund, the return shipping, and the review. Our pack-station verification exists to keep that failure mode near zero — and both warehouses run the same process, so a bi-coastal split doesn’t mean two different quality standards.
Temu
Temu’s local-fulfillment track rewards sellers who ship from inventory already inside the US — faster badges, better placement, and no per-parcel duty exposure now that the de minimis exemption is gone. That requires exactly one thing sellers of the direct-from-China era never had: a US warehouse.
ARDI receives your bulk inventory in California or New Jersey, stores it month-to-month, and ships Temu orders under local-delivery timelines — the same operation that runs our Shopify and TikTok programs, pointed at Temu’s requirements.
TikTok Shop
TikTok Shop enforces tight ship-by and delivery windows, and sellers who miss them lose visibility or worse. ARDI fulfills TikTok Shop orders under those SLAs: same-day or next-day dispatch cutoffs, tracked carriers, and inventory positioned on the coast closest to your buyers.
Selling on TikTok and Shopify at once? Orders from both channels draw from the same pooled inventory in our warehouses, so a viral spike on one channel doesn’t strand stock allocated to the other.
eBay
ARDI picks, packs, and ships eBay orders with tracking uploaded automatically, keeping your handling-time metrics inside eBay’s thresholds. Multi-quantity listings, variations, and combined orders are handled at the pack station — and eBay inventory can share the same stock pool as your other channels.
Etsy
Etsy buyers expect careful packaging and honest dispatch times. ARDI ships Etsy orders with your branded materials where provided, posts tracking back to the order, and holds dispatch SLAs that protect your Star Seller metrics — useful once handmade or curated volume outgrows kitchen-table logistics.
Coverage
Integrations
Channels connect through standard integrations — Shopify, TikTok Shop, Temu, eBay, Etsy, Amazon FBM — with orders, inventory, and tracking synced both ways. One dashboard view covers both warehouses.
Two coasts
Riverside, CA covers the West; Edison, NJ covers the Northeast corridor. Split inventory across both and most US addresses fall within 1–2 shipping days — lower zone costs on every parcel, without managing two vendors.
FAQ
You send inventory to the 3PL’s warehouse; they receive and store it, then pick, pack, and ship each order as it comes in from your store or marketplace, and process any returns. You pay for storage plus per-order fees. The practical test of a good 3PL is accuracy and dispatch speed at your real volume — ask for both numbers before you commit.
Match three things: geography (can they reach your customers in 1–2 zones?), channels (do they natively support your marketplaces and their SLAs?), and terms (month-to-month or a lease-like lock-in?). Then verify accuracy rates and dispatch cutoffs in writing. Bi-coastal coverage under one company beats stitching two regional vendors together.
Pick and pack is the core warehouse workflow behind every online order: a picker retrieves the exact items from storage locations, and a packer verifies, boxes, and labels them for shipment. Rule of thumb: if your orders contain multiple SKUs or need kitting, pick-and-pack quality — not storage price — is what determines your error rate.
Yes. Your Shopify store connects to ARDI through standard integration: orders flow to the warehouse automatically, stock levels sync back to your admin, and tracking posts to each order at label print. Setup typically takes days, not weeks, and TikTok Shop, Temu, eBay, Etsy, and Amazon FBM can share the same inventory pool.
Three routes: ship them yourself, use TikTok’s own logistics program, or connect a 3PL that meets TikTok’s shipping SLAs. The 3PL route keeps your inventory in one pool across channels and survives policy shifts — relevant after TikTok’s 2026 logistics-mandate reversal left sellers wary of single-channel dependence. ARDI dispatches TikTok orders under its cutoff windows from both coasts.
Both. Temu began as direct-from-China parcels, but since the US ended the de minimis duty exemption, a growing share of orders ship from US local warehouses stocked in bulk by sellers. Items marked for local delivery arrive in days rather than weeks. For sellers, that shift means holding inventory stateside — which is the service ARDI provides.
Typically 1–5 business days depending on the buyer’s distance from the warehouse — versus 1–3 weeks for cross-border parcels. Splitting stock between a West and East Coast warehouse puts most US addresses within 1–2 shipping zones, which is what makes 2-day-style delivery economics work without paying expedited air rates.
Yes — both channels run through the same warehouse flow: orders sync in, tracking syncs out, and dispatch SLAs are held to protect your seller metrics. Etsy shipments can use your branded packaging; eBay multi-quantity and combined orders are consolidated at the pack station.
Yes. Both warehouses receive cartons, pallets, and full containers from overseas suppliers, check them in against your packing list, and move inventory into storage the same day where scheduled. This is the standard on-ramp for brands switching from direct-from-factory parcels to US-based fulfillment.
Both. ARDI operates its own warehouses in Riverside, California (51,000 sq ft) and Edison, New Jersey (35,000 sq ft) — 86,000 sq ft total under one company. You can run one coast or split inventory across both under a single onboarding and one point of contact.
