In reply to Rob Hardwicke. Rob, the needs you describe are perfect for our company. Our system integrates with Volusion. And we shouldn't have any problems receiving your products, especially if you're working with a broker. The seasonal nature of your products is a strength of ours. Our pricing adapts to your volume needs automatically. And our team would love to talk with you. I see that you've already provided us with the info we need on our form. Our sales team will be able to get back with you shortly after the New Year's Holiday. We are back in the office on January 3rd. Thank you so much for getting in touch!

We are a small online (via Volusion) company that sells skincare products that we formulate in Israel and import (generally over the Port of NY/NJ). Can our Customshouse Broker easily interface with your facility to take custody of imported pallets of products following Customs & FDA clearance? Our sales are seasonal. Off-season sales could be as small as 50 units/month. High season sales could be 10x that volume. We have self-fulfilled for 2 decades but want to offload the burden of receiving, storing, and packing/shipping to a 3PL to allow more management retirement time.

We also ship at wholesale to retailers. Can you handle this distinction?
