2-Day Shipping with a 3PL / fulfillment center in British Columbia
Most brands start in Ontario — and it makes sense. It’s close to the largest population center in Canada. But that often means customers in British Columbia are left waiting, with slower shipping times that kill customer experience and high shipping costs that eat into your bottom line.
A fulfillment center in British Columbia changes that. With a 3PL like 247 Fulfillment operating on the West Coast, you can offer fast, reliable 2-day shipping to your British Columbia customers — just like you do in the East.
Not only does it improve customer satisfaction, but it also slashes shipping costs by keeping your inventory closer to where it's needed.
