Compare the operating details
Start with the established option
ShipMonk publishes D2C and B2B fulfillment, integrations, custom packaging and returns services. Its network page describes owned and operated facilities in the United States, Canada, the UK and mainland Europe. Evaluate those services against your channel mix and inventory placement, with the proposed scope confirmed in writing.
Match the work to your requirements
FHU focuses the discussion on your products and operating requirements. Bring a sample order file, packaging instructions and target start date so the team can scope fulfillment, returns and any kitting work. Ask who will own receiving, launch questions and ongoing exceptions, with commitments stated in your agreement.

Choose for your operation
You want to assess its platform and proposed network against a DTC/B2B mix. Ask for a demonstration of your actual receiving, allocation and exception scenarios.
Your needs align with the US/Hungary facility network and a scoped discussion of fulfillment, packaging, kitting or returns. Confirm the program and day-to-day contacts in a proposal.
If a subscription kit, retailer routing rule or returns inspection is critical, ask each team to walk through that task with a real product example and an agreed acceptance check.
Make the quote useful
Share monthly orders, units per order, SKU count, packaged dimensions, destinations, returns and peak demand. Ask each provider to price the same assumptions.
Separate receiving, storage, first and additional picks, materials, kitting, returns, postage and exceptions. Ask about minimums, integration work and inventory transfer or exit fees.
Ask who handles a stock discrepancy, damaged inbound carton, bundle shortage or failed channel sync. Request the escalation path and response commitments in the agreement.
Questions buyers ask
FHU’s operated facilities are Miami (HQ); Commerce / Los Angeles; South San Francisco; Dover; Houston; Oroszlány, Hungary. Discuss product acceptance, capacity and the proposed program with the team.
Review FHU locationsAsk each provider to identify the account contacts, escalation path, coverage hours and response commitments available under your agreement. This comparison does not establish a measured customer-service winner.
That depends on matching scope, storage, order complexity, materials and carrier costs. Ask both providers for itemized proposals based on the same order file, then compare receiving, picks, storage, returns and exception charges as well as postage.
Bring the bill of materials, assembly instructions, packaging sample, replenishment plan and expected release dates. Ask each provider to confirm the facility, handling capacity, quality checks, turnaround and charges before accepting the work.
