How It Works

Your brand operating seamlessly from Mexico to the US doorstep.

Step 02

Sync & Control

Your Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom store syncs orders automatically. Our WMS gives you real-time visibility into inventory levels, order status, and tracking numbers generated instantly.

Step 03

Frequently Asked

Can you handle subscription boxes?

Yes. Pet products often include bulky items, heavy SKUs, and multi-item bundles — which require specialized workflows.

At Lateral Fulfillment, we design operations specifically for:

  • Large and irregular SKUs

  • Multi-item orders and bundles

  • Subscription box assembly

Our nearshore model allows us to handle these operations more efficiently, reducing pick/pack costs while maintaining speed and accuracy.

Do I have to pay duties on every order?

Absolutely. Subscription workflows are a core part of our fulfillment model.

We support:

  • Monthly subscription box assembly

  • Kitting and bundling at scale

  • Forecast-based inventory planning

This ensures consistency, accuracy, and the ability to scale during peak demand without operational bottlenecks.

How do you handle returns for pet products?

Returns are a critical part of pet ecommerce — especially with bulky items, damaged packaging, or subscription orders.

At Lateral Fulfillment, we manage returns through a structured nearshore recovery process:

  • U.S.-based intake for faster customer experience

  • Transfer to Mexico for cost-efficient inspection and handling

  • Product grading (sellable, rework, or non-sellable)

  • Repackaging and reintegration into inventory when possible

This approach allows brands to:

  • Recover value instead of writing off returns

  • Reduce reverse logistics costs

  • Maintain inventory availability and accuracy

Does it take longer to ship from Mexico?

From our Tijuana fulfillment center, orders are:

  • Crossed daily into the U.S.

  • Injected directly into USPS, UPS, and FedEx networks

  • Delivered in 1–3 days to major U.S. metro areas

This allows brands to achieve near-domestic delivery speeds while benefiting from lower operating costs.
