Frequently Asked Questions about Fulfillment in Mexico
Common questions from US ecommerce brands evaluating nearshore fulfillment in Mexico.
What is a fulfillment center in Mexico?
A fulfillment center in Mexico is a 3PL warehouse that stores, picks, packs, and ships ecommerce orders on behalf of brands selling to US customers. Centers located near the US border — like our Tijuana facility — enable nearshore fulfillment with 2-5 day delivery across the United States and significantly lower operating costs than US-based warehouses.
How much can I save by moving fulfillment to Mexico?
US ecommerce brands typically save 30-40% in total fulfillment costs when moving operations to Mexico. Savings come from lower labor costs (up to 40-60%), reduced warehouse rents, IMMEX duty-free imports, and VAT exemptions. Final savings depend on order volume, product type, and current 3PL contracts.
How fast can a Mexico fulfillment center deliver to US customers?
From our Tijuana fulfillment center, orders reach US customers in 2-5 business days. Same-day border crossing into San Diego enables direct handoff to USPS, UPS, and FedEx. West Coast destinations typically deliver in 1-2 days. East Coast destinations deliver in 3-5 days.
What is IMMEX and how does it benefit my ecommerce business?
IMMEX is a Mexican government program that lets companies import goods duty-free for fulfillment and re-export. For US ecommerce brands, IMMEX eliminates Mexican import duties and the 16% VAT on inventory destined for the US market — saving 16-20% on landed cost and improving cash flow.
Can a Mexican fulfillment center integrate with Shopify, Amazon, or my ERP?
Yes. Our WMS integrates natively with Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, WooCommerce, and major ERPs like NetSuite and SAP. You get real-time inventory sync, automatic order routing, and tracking pushback to your sales channels — no manual handoffs required.
What's the difference between bonded warehousing and IMMEX fulfillment?
Both defer Mexican import duties. IMMEX is a re-export program ideal for ecommerce brands shipping internationally. Bonded warehouses defer duties until goods are released into the Mexican market or re-exported. For US-bound ecommerce, IMMEX is typically the better fit because it removes tax burden entirely from your supply chain.
How do I migrate my fulfillment from a US 3PL to Mexico?
Migration typically takes 4-8 weeks. The process includes: inventory audit and migration plan, WMS integration setup, IMMEX and customs documentation, physical inventory transfer via truck or sea freight, and phased order routing. Lateral handles 90% of the operational complexity so your team can focus on growing the business.
Is fulfillment in Mexico right for high-value or regulated products?
Yes — nearshore fulfillment in Mexico works for apparel, beauty, health and wellness, pet supplies, tech goods, and direct mail. Regulated products like medical devices or supplements may require specific certifications (COFEPRIS, FDA) that we evaluate case by case.
