Garment Fulfillment That Treats Your Product Like It’s Still on the Rack

Apparel isn’t just another SKU. Size curves, hanging garments, delicate fabrics, and retailer-specific prep all add complexity that generic fulfillment centers aren’t built for. The Northeast Group has been shipping apparel — from boutique wholesale to major retail to DTC — for 40+ years.

Generic Fulfillment Wasn’t Built for Garments

Folded into a box that crushes the fabric. Missing size or color variants. Hangtags applied wrong, or not at all. Most 3PLs treat apparel like any other SKU — and it shows on the sales floor.

We’ve Been Doing This Since Before “3PL” Was a Category

Garments and apparel are our largest, most established vertical. From high-end jackets to fast-turning multipacks, we know how apparel actually needs to move.

High-end garment handling
Hanger swaps
Garment folding
Polybagging
Size-strip application

RFID tagging
UPC & barcode labeling

A Fulfillment Center Rooted in the Garment Trade

Montreal’s Chabanel district is the centre of the Canadian fashion industry — hundreds of apparel brands, importers, and wholesalers call it home. The Northeast Group Fulfillment Center sits under 90 minutes away, and already serves clients from the district. We’re not learning the apparel business from a manual — we’re already in it.

One Warehouse for Every Channel Your Line Sells Through

DTC, boutique wholesale, major retail, marketplaces — apparel brands rarely sell through just one channel, and your fulfillment shouldn’t be split across multiple providers because of it.

DTC orders, 1:00 PM same-day cutoff
Wholesale, to earliest ship & cancel date
Major retail compliance & routing guides
Amazon & marketplace prep
Returns processing
Real-time inventory across every channel
