B2B and Wholesale Order Fulfillment

B2B and Wholesale Order Fulfillment

YouParcel handles both DTC (direct to consumer) and B2B/wholesale orders. B2B orders typically involve larger quantities, retailer-specific routing guides, and specialized compliance requirements.

What B2B Fulfillment Involves

  • Pallet-level or case-level picking rather than individual unit picking.
  • Compliance with retailer routing guides (Target, Walmart, Costco, independent retailers, etc.).
  • GS1-compliant labeling including pallet and carton barcodes.
  • Advance Ship Notice (ASN) transmission to the retailer's EDI system.
  • Floor-ready merchandise preparation (tagging, pre-pricing, hangers).

Routing Guide Compliance

If your retail customer has a routing guide, please share it with your account manager before the first order ships. Routing guide violations can result in chargebacks from your retail buyer, which are the responsibility of the client.

Setting Up B2B Shipping Accounts

Many B2B orders require shipment on the buyer's own carrier account. Provide the buyer's carrier account number and any specific carrier or service level requirements when submitting the order.

Lead Times for B2B Orders

B2B orders generally require more preparation time than DTC orders. Please provide as much advance notice as possible, and discuss expected order cadence with your account manager so we can plan staffing and dock scheduling accordingly.
