Why brands selling into Saks Fifth Avenue look for a 3PL
Yes. ShipNetwork fulfills orders for brands selling into Saks Fifth Avenue. We plug into your stack, not the other way around. ShipNetwork connects through EDI platforms including SPS Commerce and Crstl, using direct API and EDI connections, so purchase orders, advance ship notices, and invoices keep moving the way your retail program already works. You keep your EDI provider and your vendor relationship. What changes is who handles the product, and how carefully it arrives.

Presentation is part of what the customer paid for
At luxury price points, the physical condition of every unit is part of the product. Garment handling, protective packing, tissue, hangers, poly, and ticketing all have to be right on the first pass, on every unit. A crease, a scuff, or a missing tag is not a minor defect at this price. It is a return, a credit, and often a customer who does not come back.
The routing guide leaves very little room
Carton construction, labeling, scheduling, and documentation are written down and expected exactly. Advance ship notices have to be accurate and on time, and they have to match what is physically inside the carton. Must arrive by windows compress it further, because arriving early creates a receiving problem and arriving late creates a bigger one.
Deductions accumulate quietly on your best account
Compliance failures rarely arrive as one event you can point at. They show up as deductions and disputes spread across months and line items, on the account carrying your strongest unit economics. Finance usually sees the pattern long after the shipments that caused it, and on luxury margin a slow leak is still a serious number.
Dropship and bulk replenishment are two different operations
A dropship order is one high value unit going directly to the retailer's customer, and the box that arrives is the entire brand experience. Bulk replenishment is cartons, pallets, and a scheduled delivery into a distribution center. Most brands run both alongside their own DTC store, out of one room with one team, and the retail side is where an error costs the most.
Most 3PLs will treat your brand like everyone else's
A shared account rep juggling two hundred other clients does not learn how your product has to be handled. Rigid processes expect your presentation standards to conform to their template, and generic packaging erases your brand at the doorstep, which on a luxury dropship order is the whole point of the order. SLAs that look fine in Q1 collapse in Q4. You end up renting space in someone else's operation and hoping it holds.
Process is Simple to Get Started
One operation behind every channel you sell through
A luxury brand's channel mix is usually narrow and high value rather than wide and high volume. A DTC store with a high average order value, a small number of carefully chosen retail accounts, a dropship program attached to at least one of them, and sometimes a marketplace or a seasonal pop up. Every channel expects something different about packaging, documentation, and speed.
ShipNetwork fulfills across those channels through direct API connections and pre-built partner integrations depending on the platform, including EDI driven retail and dropship programs.
The value is not the length of an integration list. It is that one dedicated team handles every unit to the same standard, whether it is going to a distribution center, to a retail customer's door, or to a customer who bought from your own site. One inventory pool, one set of handling instructions, one set of reporting.

How ShipNetwork supports brands selling into Saks Fifth Avenue
A dedicated POD that learns how your product has to be handled
Every ShipNetwork client gets a dedicated team, not a shared queue. For a luxury brand that means the same people learning your handling requirements, your packing standards, your ticketing, and your seasonal buys, rather than a rotating crew reading an instruction sheet for the first time.
Custom packaging so the unboxing still belongs to you
Custom packaging is part of the standard setup, not an upcharge exception. On a dropship order going directly to a luxury customer, the outer carton, the interior packing, and the presentation are the only physical brand moment you get, and they should look like they came from you.
Fulfillment built to your retail partner's written spec
Your routing guide, packing, labeling, and documentation requirements are reviewed with you during onboarding and built into how orders are picked and packed. The spec belongs to your vendor relationship. We execute against it on every carton.
Advance ship notices and invoices returned through your EDI connection
Orders reach us through EDI platforms including SPS Commerce and Crstl, using direct API and EDI connections. Advance ship notices, invoices, and tracking flow back the same way, on the timing your program requires, so the documentation matches what is physically in the carton.
99.99%+ order accuracy
Accuracy is what deductions are actually measuring, and at luxury price points a single wrong unit is an expensive mistake in both directions. It protects margin on the retail side and protects the customer relationship on the dropship side.

An extension of your brand. A dedicated POD that knows how your product has to be handled and packed, not a shared rep who learns your standards after something arrives damaged.

Brands That Have Scaled with ShipNetwork
Still Have Questions?
.avif)
Yes. ShipNetwork fulfills dropship and wholesale orders for brands with a Saks Fifth Avenue vendor relationship, connecting through EDI platforms including SPS Commerce and Crstl using direct API and EDI connections. Your vendor relationship and your EDI provider stay as they are. ShipNetwork takes over the physical fulfillment behind them.
Yes. Custom packaging and specific handling instructions are part of the standard setup rather than an exception, and your requirements are documented with your dedicated team during onboarding. Because the same team fulfills your orders every day, the standard is learned once rather than re-explained on every escalation.
No. You keep your EDI provider and your existing retail connections. ShipNetwork connects through EDI platforms including SPS Commerce and Crstl, so purchase orders, advance ship notices, and invoices continue to move the way your retail partners already expect them to.
You hold the vendor relationship and the requirements that come with it. ShipNetwork fulfills your orders to those requirements, and your routing guide, packing, labeling, and documentation standards are reviewed during onboarding so they are built into the operation instead of handled case by case.
Returns are processed as part of the operation, with the same care as the outbound shipment. On high value merchandise the goal is usually to get the unit back into sellable condition and back into stock, which depends on how it is inspected, repacked, and recorded when it arrives.
Yes. Retail and dropship orders arriving through EDI and DTC orders from your own store are fulfilled by the same dedicated team, from one inventory pool. That removes the situation where a wholesale purchase order and your own site are quietly competing for the same units.
Monthly order volume by channel, SKU count, average order value, any special handling or packing your product requires, and which retail programs you are fulfilling. That is enough to price your business on actual volume and mix rather than dropping you into a fixed tier.
