Every merchant wants inventory to arrive prepared in a certain way, which changes all the time. And you really don’t have the time or operational infrastructure to worry about that with multiple channels. You really can’t afford to keep getting inventory held up with compliance issues, not with every step of your cycle as tight as it is today.
Maybe your goods arrive from the manufacturer in poor condition or get broken in transit, and customers are unhappy. Or maybe you’re paying more in freight charges because your item arrives in a larger box than it needs.
If you already have your packaging, bagging, containers, etc., sorted out, maybe your inventory goes from one place to another and then to another to get prepped right. Or maybe you’re like Ritual Beverage Company and you want to consolidate prep under one roof and not have to think about it. We agree.
Introducing Deliverr Prep: hassle-free prep for sales-ready inventory, no matter where it’s going.
With Deliverr Prep, you get:
• Compliance expertise for every seller channel,
• A wide variety of value-added prep services,
• and predictable, transparent pricing
…all under one roof with one logistics partner.
Avoid all those lost cycles from constrained, rejected, or damaged inventory. You can get your products wiped down, packed right, or even folded and prepared any way you need to save costs and make customers happy down the line.
Whatever you need, it can happen in Prep.

Simplify your prep operation to focus on scale and growth
Simplifying logistics and scaling logistics shouldn’t be mutually exclusive goals. Usually it’s simplification that makes scale possible. In short, the less you worry about compliant and competent prep, the more you can expand to additional sales channels, use more kinds of pricing and packaging strategies, and ensure a better customer experience.
When we started working with Ritual Beverage Company, they sourced their zero-proof beverage alternatives from two places, had an inconvenient prep location, and wanted to reduce damages. Together we created a plan to build branded cartons, creating a safer journey for their bottles while also advertising their brand in transit.
Ritual’s COO Dave DiLoreto says Deliverr Prep will help “save us the headache of managing multiple providers, not to mention reduce our costs!”
With brands like Ritual and you in mind, we created Deliverr Prep to save time…
• No more keeping track of downstream fulfillment compliance regulations
• Get the time back you spend coordinating multiple vendors
• Stop doing prep manually or across different locations
…and money:
• Avoid non-compliant inventory fees
• Don’t pay a premium for having to move inventory somewhere else to get prep done
• Get predictable, transparent pricing for a service that’s often complex and opaque
Every step of your logistics infrastructure has the potential to weigh you down or supercharge your growth. For many brands we’ve worked with, going from pricey, complex, and opaque prep operations to the opposite makes sense as part of any effort to get more efficient.
Avoid costly lost cycles from inventory issues
Also, poorly prepped goods can cost you in compounding ways. Beyond obvious concerns about non-compliance fees, rejected inventory means your products might sit in one location for extended time, need to be returned to inventory to be re-prepped, or even need to be destroyed.
This means more manufacturing cycles, availability shortages, dealing with constrained inventory, maybe missing seasonal sales opportunities, and other issues.
What’s more, inexpertly prepped inventory could break or arrive damaged, which leaves you with all the issues above plus unhappy customers who will remember your brand for a poor customer experience.
Transform your inventory to meet all sales channel needs
If your prep operation is slowing you down in any way, consider what it might be like to have your prep phase actually make you more competitive. A prep partner with tons of options way beyond bagging and boxing gives you an edge over competitors doing it the old, slow, costly way.
We give our merchants the superpower to get anything done in the prep phase that’s needed. Inventory arriving dirty from the manufacturer? We’ll wipe it down. Items in larger-than-necessary boxes? We’ll fold them to save you fulfillment costs. Need to turn single-SKU boxes of 12 into 3 multi-packs of 4 different SKUs? No problem.
With professional, one-stop prep, you can also accelerate any plans to expand to new channels, or increase volume across channels. We take care of all kinds of SKU labeling, multi-provider fulfillment, and have tons of convenient options in packaging, bagging, floor containers, and more.
