Retail & E-commerce

Retail & E-commerce logistics, port to final destination.

The short version

Mercer connects import handling to retail and e-commerce fulfillment in one operation — direct-to-consumer, marketplace and retail-channel orders shipped from a single Pacific Northwest inventory pool, with marketplace prep and Amazon FBA delivery up the road from Burien.

The challenge

Why it’s hard.

Retail and e-commerce brands move fast and sell everywhere at once — their own store, marketplaces, and retail partners. Each channel has its own labeling, routing and speed expectations, and coordinating them across separate vendors is where margin leaks.

Port to door

How Mercer handles it.

01

Import & receive

Cargo clears through the NWSA gateway and flows straight into the fulfillment warehouse.

02

Prep per channel

Marketplace prep, retail routing compliance and DTC packing — all from one inventory pool.

03

Ship everywhere

DTC to the door, marketplace injection to Amazon and others, and pallet/carton to retail DCs.

Why it matters

What you get.

Put the whole flow with one accountable partner — from the terminal to the final mile — and reclaim the time and capital lost to coordinating separate vendors.

The advantage

  • One inventory pool across DTC, marketplace and retail
  • Amazon FBA prep and delivery to the nearby DC
  • Import handling and fulfillment under one roof
Questions, answered

Frequently asked.

Does Mercer support marketplace and DTC together?

Yes — DTC pick-and-pack, marketplace prep (Amazon FBA, Walmart, Target Plus and more) and retail-channel fulfillment run from the same warehouse.

How does Mercer speed up Amazon FBA?

Cargo is prepped to FBA-ready condition and delivered to the Amazon fulfillment center just up the road from our Burien facility.
