[ Why US warehouse ]

The honest answer: most Chinese factories don't have one.

If you're a US buyer ordering custom apparel from China, the math usually works out — until you need a 200-piece reorder in 5 days for a trade show, a campaign rally, or a school event. Then you're stuck waiting 25 days for a boat from Yiwu, or paying $8/piece to air-freight a single emergency batch.

Our US warehouse program solves this. You pre-build 100-500 pieces of your top sellers and stock them in our Fontana, CA facility. When an order comes in, we ship same-day from California — 2-5 business days anywhere in the continental US, no customs, no duties, no surprises. When stock runs low, we air-freight a replenishment batch from our Yiwu factory in 5-7 days.

The math works because the alternative — paying retail US prices, or absorbing 25-day lead times on every reorder — is worse. You keep the China cost advantage on initial production, but you get US-domestic speed on every reorder.

[ 008.A / What you get ]

Six things this warehouse actually does.

Most "fulfillment" services in China are a forwarding address. This is a real, staffed, pallet-racked warehouse with WMS, US-domestic shipping accounts, and a team that picks, packs, and labels to spec.

[ 008.C / When to use it ]

Six scenarios where it pays for itself.

If any of these sound like your business, the US warehouse pays for itself in the first rush order.

01

Race & event deadlines you can't miss

A 5K shirt order due Saturday shouldn't be on a boat. Stock the top 3 designs in CA; refill from Yiwu when usage hits 60%.

02

Schools, colleges, and Greek life reorders

Rush orders during orientation week, finals, or homecoming — overnight or 2-day from CA, no Chinese time zone required.

03

POD platforms and Shopify stores

Use us as your US micro-fulfillment. Send a weekly CSV, we ship as 2-day ground. 30+ ecommerce clients already on this flow.

04

Amazon FBA replenishment

We ship to any FBA warehouse (FTW1, ONT8, IND9 etc.) on your routing. Stickering, poly-bagging, and box labels included.

05

Trade show floor samples

Trade show in Las Vegas next week? Stock 200 hero samples in CA, walk in with empty luggage, hand-carry out the leads.

06

Political and campaign merch

Last-minute rallies, yard signs + matching tee combos, candidate swag drops — US stock lets you ship within 48 hours of an event.

[ 008.D / FAQ ]

The questions buyers ask first.

Q · 01

What's the minimum for the US warehouse program?

First deposit: 100 pieces (any mix of styles/sizes). Reorder minimum is 50 pieces per SKU. Storage is free for the first 90 days, $0.05/piece/month after that.

Q · 02

How do you handle customs when shipping from Yiwu to California?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) under our US warehouse program. We pay all import duties, tariffs, and brokerage. You see one landed cost, no surprises.

Q · 03

Can I split a single order between Yiwu direct and US warehouse?

Yes. Common pattern: ship rush qty from CA (2-5 days), ship the bulk balance from Yiwu sea freight (15-25 days). We split the packing list and bill cleanly.

Q · 04

What if my design needs to be updated mid-stock?

Two options. (1) Liquidate the old stock at cost+10% via our outlet channel, build new. (2) Disposal of deadstock at $0.20/piece. Most clients go option 1 — we run 3 outlet channels already.
