Let's Talk Fulfillment

There's no hard line, but brands usually feel it once active SKUs climb past a few hundred and toward the thousands. Variant matrices get you there fast: 40 styles in 12 sizes and 3 colors is over 1,400 SKUs. If your catalog is deep enough that mispicks and inventory drift have become a regular problem, you're in high-SKU territory, and that's what we're built for.

No. Simpl does not require monthly minimums for merch drop fulfillment. You pay flat-rate fees for the storage, pick/pack, and shipping you actually use, which keeps the model workable for seasonal and limited-edition drops that ship in bursts rather than at a steady monthly volume.

Every variant is stored and tracked as its own SKU with real-time inventory, and the picker confirms the exact size and color against the order before it's packed. Our order accuracy runs 99.99%, and on the rare miss we cover the return shipping and re-fulfillment at our cost.

No. There is no per-project setup fee to start a merch drop with Simpl. We receive your inventory, set up your kitting and packaging spec, and get you live without an upfront onboarding charge. You pay for receiving, storage, pick/pack, and shipping at flat rates.

Yes. Size-by-color matrices are the core of what this page is about. Each size and color is its own tracked SKU, so a customer who orders a medium in navy gets a medium in navy.

Yes. Custom gift messaging is part of our kitting service. We can include branded inserts, custom notes, tissue paper, stickers, and other unboxing touches so each drop ships with the look and feel your brand wants, not generic warehouse packaging.

Yes. We fulfill direct-to-consumer and wholesale from one inventory pool. DTC orders ship pick-and-packed and same-day; wholesale ships palletized and retailer-compliant, with EDI, routing guides, and ASNs when your stockists require them.

We ship with the major carriers and rate-shop each order so your drop goes out at the best mix of cost and transit time. Whether a drop is a few orders or a few thousand, orders flow through the same carrier setup with real-time tracking back to your store.

Receiving turnaround is 1–3 days. We sort and put away large, multi-variant receipts by exact SKU, so your inventory goes live with accurate counts and is ready to sell.

Yes. Simpl connects natively to Shopify. Orders sync automatically the moment a drop goes live, inventory counts stay accurate in real time, and tracking flows back to your store, so a sudden spike in orders is handled without manual exports or spreadsheets.

Pricing starts at $7/order flat, which covers the pick, packaging, and postage, at the same rate whether you ship 50 orders a month or 5,000. There's a $750/month account minimum billed pay-the-difference, so if a month's orders come in under $750 you're charged only the gap. No hidden fees or surprise surcharges for a complex catalog.

We ask that inventory arrive a few business days before your drop launches so receiving, QC, and any kitting are finished before the first order lands. Larger or more complex drops benefit from a bit more runway, so it is best to share your launch date with us early and we will confirm timing for your specific drop.

Yes. We ship merch drops internationally through major carriers, with customs documentation handled on outbound orders. If a drop has a meaningful international audience, tell us the destinations up front and we will set up the right carrier and service mix for those orders.
