Order Fulfillment for Beauty and Cosmetics
At more than one trillion dollars and counting, the beauty and cosmetics tranche of the wellness industry continues to grow at a notable clip. Over the last fifteen years, IronLinx Fulfillment has become intimately familiar with the unique fulfillment needs of the beauty and cosmetics products space such as special packaging and handling needs, custom pack-outs and branded packaging materials, wholesale routing guide compliance, climate-controlled storage, and multi-channel integrations.
Special Packaging and Handling Needs
Beauty and cosmetics products are often delicate and/or demand special care in handling. Eyeshadow palettes, for instance, are particularly susceptible to damage in transit while perfumes and colognes containing alcohol are challenging to ship due to governmental and carrier restrictions. Further, beauty and cosmetics products are often quite expensive; therefore, the protection of fragile inner product containers and display boxes is a must to maintain an exceptional unboxing experience for consumers and to avoid chargebacks and refusals from retailers.
Custom Pack Outs and Branded Packaging Materials
In the beauty and cosmetics space, custom pack-outs and branded packaging materials are generally a requirement for repeat business. Depending on circumstances, a pack-out might easily involve a branded corrugated carton and/or polybag (frequently, a polybag is utilized to protect a branded shipping carton); custom inserts or tissue to hold products in place; and custom labels, thank you cards, gift certificates, etc. IronLinx is seasoned in the handling of even the most nuanced of pack-outs and is also able to source and procure the packaging and, marketing materials utilized through a sister company.
Wholesale Routing Guide Compliance
Beauty and cosmetics product order fulfillment is often quite challenging for B2C shipments; however, it is even more challenging for B2B shipments. Large retailers like Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys, and many others all have stringent routing guide requirements (See: Order Fulfillment for Beauty and Cosmetics: Routing Guide Compliance). Seemingly minuscule errors such as the use of prohibited void fill materials, incorrectly formatted UPCs, and picking errors can lead to prohibitively expensive chargebacks and shipment rejections. IronLinx ships to these types of retailers on a daily basis and are also EDI-compatible.
Climate Controlled Storage and Shipments
Beauty and cosmetics products are prone to damage caused by extreme temperatures, fluctuations in temperature, and humidity. To safeguard both the efficacy and display quality of the products in our care, IronLinx offers climate- and humidity-controlled storage for those who need it. Ensuring proper care in transit is more complex (and expensive); however, IronLinx is also able to arrange for temperature-sensitive LTL, TL, and parcel services for vulnerable shipments.
Multi-Channel Integrations
Like most e-commerce sellers, many beauty and cosmetics brands are embracing the reality of multi-channel sales. Current conditions necessitate proprietary websites as well as Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Jet stores, to name a few the end result of which is increasingly more complex operations. To simplify things, IronLinx has pre-wired integrations with more than eighty sales platforms and can integrate with most others via API.
