FAQ

Which 3PL offers better customer support?

At Shipfusion, you’re never just another client; you’re the priority. Every brand gets a dedicated on-site account manager from day one, with no hidden fees or service tiers. Just real support from someone who knows your business inside and out, and is always a call or email away.

Red Stag Fulfillment’s support is available in tiered options, ranging from shared support teams to a dedicated account manager at a higher cost. 

Which 3PL is better for scaling brands?

Whether you’re scaling fast, launching new SKUs, or expanding into new markets, Shipfusion’s tech-powered platform, flexible solutions, and global warehouse network are built to grow with you. You’ll get the visibility, control, and support you need to move forward without slowing down. 

Red Stag Fulfillment stands out for its specialization in fulfilling heavy, high-value and fragile products. However, its small network of warehouses makes it difficult to address country-wide demand as a brand scales. 

Is Red Stag Fulfillment safe for food, beverage and supplement storage?

Red Stag Fulfillment isn’t built for cold chain logistics, and its facilities don’t hold FDA registration, SQF certification, or Health Canada approval. For food and beverage brands, that’s a dealbreaker.

With Shipfusion, your food and beverage products are stored in regulatory-compliant warehouses. Our North American fulfillment centers are Safe Quality Food (SQF) approved and FDA-compliant. Additionally, our warehouses follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and are Health Canada certified. Coupled with our cold-chain shipping and advanced lot tracking, your products are guaranteed to maintain their quality and integrity from warehouse to doorstep.

What is Red Stag Fulfillment's pricing structure?
Red Stage Fulfillment uses a custom pricing model based on customers' unique needs. Typical fulfillment fees and ranges include the following (in USD):
  • Account / Setup Fee: $250 – $1,000+
  • Inbound Receiving (per pallet): $5 – $15
  • Pick & Pack Fee (per order): $0.20 – $2.00+
  • Storage (per pallet / mo.): $15 – $40
