Sellers of all shapes and sizes are attracted to APS because we do not impose an order limit.

Nor do we have a limit on the product, weight, size, or shape.
The accurate and fast pick-and-pack ensures all of your products, even fragile, expensive, and awkward items, get to their destination fast and as promised.
Warehousing is also a specialty at APS Fulfillment, Inc. Our standard pallet size is 40” x 48” x 55”, but we also provide space and individualized shelving for plus-size storage and smaller items.

Features of Our Comprehensive Warehouse Management System
APS Fulfillment Inc.’s comprehensive warehouse management system (WMS) takes care of the entire process, from start-to-finish.
Through our full-fledged, cloud-based WMS system, our partners have instant access to detailed, real-time inventory reports, which shows the total inventory, allocated inventory for orders, and available inventory for future orders. Partners can also use the WMS system to track their products during the fulfillment process, by status and tracking.
Our warehouse inventory management system also tracks all returns. Once a return is received, at the warehouse, we inspect it and file a report, noting condition, who returned it, and when. A report is then provided to our partner who then tells us how they would like us to handle the return: put it into quarantine, the return section, or back into inventory.
