B2B & Wholesale Distribution Fulfillment in Houston — Bulk, Case-Pick & Retailer-Ready

Tell us your current daily or monthly volume and how your wholesale and direct-to-consumer orders split, and a dedicated account contact will walk you through capacity and pricing.

KAK Sourcing & Fulfillment runs B2B and wholesale distribution fulfillment — case-pick cartons, pallet-out shipments, and retailer-ready labeling — out of one 32,000 sq ft Houston facility, shipping the same inventory pool to wholesale accounts and direct-to-consumer customers side by side, with parcel pick-pack-ship published at $2.75/order all-in and wholesale case-pick/pallet-out work quoted per account based on volume.

Brands searching for “B2B fulfillment” or “wholesale distribution fulfillment” are almost never brand-new sellers — they’re established e-commerce or manufacturing businesses that have already landed a retail account, a distributor relationship, or a wholesale buying club, and now need a 3PL that can ship a single unit to a Shopify customer and a pallet to a regional retailer without running two separate operations.

What Counts as B2B and Wholesale Fulfillment

B2B (business-to-business) fulfillment covers orders shipped to other businesses — independent retailers, regional chains, distributors, wholesale buying clubs — rather than individual consumers. The mechanics differ from a standard DTC parcel in consistent ways: orders ship as case packs or full pallets instead of single units, retailers frequently require specific carton labeling and routing guide compliance, and invoicing follows the buyer’s terms rather than a checkout transaction. A brand doing $3,000+/day in revenue with an established wholesale channel is dealing with all of this already; the question is whether their fulfillment partner can handle it without treating it as a special exception.

KAK built its Houston operation to run both models — B2C parcel and B2B case-pick/pallet — through the same receiving process, the same WMS, and the same floor, rather than as a bolted-on service. For the compliance mechanics (EDI documents, ASN accuracy, chargeback prevention), see our dedicated 3PL comparison guide and China-to-US bridge receiving service, landing freight directly at the Houston facility and breaking it down into parcel, case-pick, and pallet configurations from a single intake.

How Case-Pick & Pallet-Out Fulfillment Works

1. Intake and SKU setup. Inventory is received once and set up in the WMS with unit-, case-, and pallet-level identifiers attached to each SKU, so the same stock can be allocated to either order type from day one.
2. Channel and order-type mapping. Your account contact maps which channels or accounts route to B2C parcel logic versus B2B case-pick/pallet-out logic, including any retailer-specific routing guide or labeling requirements.
3. Real-time allocation. As orders arrive — a Shopify checkout, an Amazon order, or a wholesale purchase order — the WMS allocates against the same inventory pool and applies the correct pick logic automatically, no manual stock transfers.
4. Pick, pack, and label to spec. Parcel orders ship under the standard $2.75/order process; case-pick and pallet-out orders are built to the case configuration and carton labeling standard a given retailer or distributor requires.
5. Dispatch and carrier selection. Parcel orders route through KAK’s regional last-mile partnerships (SpeedX, OnTrac) — materially cheaper than national published rates on regional lanes; pallet-out shipments dispatch via the freight or LTL carrier your wholesale account requires.

What’s Included vs. What’s Extra

Transparent pricing is a written commitment at KAK — nothing gets added to an invoice without prior written agreement. The honest breakdown for a mixed B2B/wholesale and B2C account:

Quoted separately, volume-based

• Retailer-specific carton labeling and routing guide compliance beyond standard labeling
• Freight/LTL carrier cost for pallet-out shipments (pass-through, not a KAK markup)
• Custom kitting, bundling, or multi-SKU case assembly
• Additional onboarding concessions for larger accounts, discussed with your account contact

Why Wholesale-Supplying Brands Fit KAK’s Model

Wholesale and B2B distribution work naturally filters for maturity: a brand doesn’t land a regional retail account, a distributor agreement, or a wholesale buying-club relationship without real revenue and operating history behind it. That’s the profile KAK is built for — established, seven-figure-track e-commerce and wholesale brands doing roughly $3,000+/day, not a first-time seller testing a wholesale channel with a handful of cases.

Being honest about capacity is part of that fit. KAK runs a single 32,000 sq ft Houston hub — real, dedicated capacity for a few thousand orders a day across combined B2C and B2B volume, with one dedicated account contact rather than a support queue. That’s a materially different model from a national, multi-node network built to split inventory across regions for 5,000+ orders/day hyperscale DTC brands; our high-volume & enterprise fulfillment page, or if you’re actively unhappy with your current 3PL’s handling of wholesale volume, our guide on Retail Compliance & EDI-Ready Fulfillment.
