Pick & pack · order operations

Every released order, picked, packed, and ready for handoff.

ShipHouse builds each order around your SKU data, item count, packaging, handling rules, and required carrier handoff.

For businesses that need a repeatable physical order workflow without operating their own warehouse team.

Service FAQ

Questions that shape the scope.

What is included in pick and pack?

The workflow covers retrieving the ordered inventory, applying the approved packout, labeling the parcel, and staging it for carrier handoff. Materials and special handling depend on the program.

Can orders contain multiple items?

Yes. The average and peak item count affect labor and pricing, so the quote form asks for a representative order profile.

Can you use custom boxes or inserts?

Yes. Custom materials can be scoped when specifications, inventory, replenishment, and order-level rules are available.

How are exceptions handled?

The operating plan defines holds and ownership for missing inventory, damaged products, invalid addresses, packaging issues, and other conditions relevant to your program.

Where can I review pricing?

The pricing page contains the current published starter structure and the custom-program path for larger or more complex operations.
