Why Fulfill in Mexico?

Fulfillment in Mexico offers tax savings for imports and discounted costs in wages and warehousing. Nearshoring offers U.S. brands the best opportunity to compete with international competitors while improving profitability.

Can I use my own carrier agreements?
You can use your own carrier agreements, but Lateral’s multi-carrier solution is often the best solution to keep rates down while maintaining your existing customer SLAs. Our technology solution also allows rate-shopping with your rates and ours to ensure the best shipping rates for your customers.
Do you manage returns?
Yes. Any returns are sent back to the nearest US Cross-Dock location and either recycled or brought back to the delivery center for refurbishment and resale.
How long does it take to get up and running with Lateral Fulfillment?
While timing may vary depending on your technology needs, we can have brands fulfilling within weeks not months.
Is shipping slower or less reliable from Mexico?
Delivery times are similar to U.S. fulfillment centers, often 1 to 3 days, with reliable operations ensuring efficiency and security near the U.S. border. Our facilities have 24/7 monitoring, advanced security systems, and strict operational standards to ensure your products are safe.
What value-added services do you offer?
Lateral is the world’s only fulfillment partner with in-house customs brokerage and section 321 freight fulfillment capabilities allowing for fast, affordable, and flexible fulfillment from manufacturers anywhere in the world. In addition to this, we bring 100+ years of front-line industry experience that helps us both advise our partners on best practices and implement end-to-end technology for even the most complex partner cases.
