When it comes to ecommerce logistics, timing is everything, especially for brands in seasonal industries like toys, apparel and entertainment merchandise. If your team is already feeling pressure from limited warehouse capacity, missed SLAs or slow turnaround from your current 3PL, now is the time to rethink your fulfillment strategy.
Q2 and Q3 aren’t just the calm before the storm. They are your best window of opportunity to onboard a new fulfillment partner with the tools and experience to carry your business through peak season and beyond.
Why Switching 3PLs Before Q4 is a Smart Move
By Q4, your operations should be humming, not scrambling. Switching fulfillment providers in the middle of peak season is risky, disruptive and expensive. But when you make the move in Q2 or Q3, your brand gains valuable lead time to:
- Migrate SKUs and inventory without chaos
- Test new systems and workflows before order volumes spike
- Ensure fast, consistent delivery through the holidays
- Give your team breathing room to focus on strategy, not crisis control
This is where G&B Fulfillment stands out. Our model is designed around seamless transitions and scale-ready service, especially for ecommerce brands managing fast product turns and high-volume surges.
Fast-Growth Ecommerce, Ready for Peak
Take EVME, a rising DTC brand that needed to shift out of a sluggish 3PL relationship before peak season hit. They came to G&B Fulfillment looking for speed, consistency and a warehouse partner that could keep up with demand spikes.
We got to work immediately. In Q3, EVME’s team and G&B Fulfillment mapped out a full SKU migration plan, onboarded their systems, configured custom shipping rules and staged inventory for smoother operations.
By the time the holiday season rolled around, EVME wasn’t stuck reacting. They were ready. With accurate inventory, efficient picking and on-time delivery, they headed into Q4 with confidence.
Built for Brands with Complex Fulfillment Needs
Entertainment merch is a world of its own. Companies managing multiple artist collections, sub-brands or drop schedules often face a high degree of complexity that standard 3PLs simply can’t handle.
High-quality, high-variation merch operations thrive with G&B Fulfillment. Whether it’s artist-branded apparel, limited-run collectibles or exclusive drops, each SKU may demand different packaging rules, handling protocols or fulfillment logic based on sales channels.
G&B Fulfillment provides the structure and systems to manage those needs effectively. With real-time SKU-level visibility, configurable workflows and inventory controls, we help keep campaigns and product launches moving smoothly.
Our warehouse operation supports multichannel selling, time-sensitive drops and retail distribution—all within a single, scalable solution.
An Ecommerce Fulfillment Partner that Helps You Grow
Switching to G&B Fulfillment means more than just new boxes on new shelves. We start every client engagement by understanding your brand’s unique needs and growth goals.
From there, we build a transition plan that includes:
- SKU and inventory mapping
- Systems integration
- Shipping rule setup and testing
- Ongoing operational support
We’re not here to take over. We’re here to become a seamless extension of your business and remove the roadblocks that stall your momentum.
