Home goods break parcel economics: items are large, heavy, fragile and often too big for standard ground service. Fulfillment EZ handles oversized storage, dimensional optimization, LTL freight and fragile packing so bulky products reach customers intact and affordably.
- Oversized and heavy SKU storage and handling
- Parcel, LTL and freight options per order profile
- Drop-tested packing for fragile and ceramic items
- Dimensional optimization on every shipment
When items are too big for the parcel network
Furniture, rugs, large decor and appliances exceed parcel size and weight limits or attract surcharges that make ground service uneconomic. Choosing between parcel, LTL and freight per order is a decision most warehouses are not equipped to make well.
Fragility compounds it. Ceramics, glass and mirrors damage easily, and a damaged oversized item costs both the replacement and an expensive return that often cannot be resold.
- Size and weight above standard parcel thresholds
- Oversize and additional-handling surcharges
- High breakage risk on ceramics, glass and mirrors
- Return shipping costs that can exceed item margin
How we fulfill home goods brands
Each order is evaluated across parcel, LTL and freight, with surcharge thresholds modeled so an item just over a limit is routed the cheaper way rather than defaulting into a penalty.
Fragile SKUs get drop-tested packing configurations, corner protection and appropriate void fill, and damage rates are tracked by SKU and lane so packaging investment goes where it pays back.
- Per-order parcel vs LTL vs freight decisioning
- Surcharge threshold modeling
- Drop-tested protective packing configurations
- White-glove and threshold delivery options by lane
Storage strategy for large inventory
Oversized inventory consumes pallet positions quickly, so slotting and forecasting matter more than in small-parcel categories. Days-of-cover reporting flags both stockout risk and dead stock quietly consuming expensive space.
Seasonal ranges can be held in low-cost reserve positions and moved to forward pick locations as demand ramps, rather than occupying prime space year-round.
