Seamless Online Order Processing
When your customers order their auto, boat, or truck parts, it is often purchased with the intent to use that item as soon as possible. Seamless order fulfillment is essential to keep your e-commerce business competitive. Our streamlined process ensures the timely and efficient handling of all orders. How does it work?
At Global Docks, we use our proprietary warehouse management system (WMS) to link with an application programming interface (API) in your online store. This means that we can see orders as soon as they are submitted. Once we receive orders, we can initiate picking and packing.
We also use our high-volume shipping accounts to help you get the best postage rates at FedEx, USPS, and UPS, regardless of which shipping speed your customers select.
Every auto, truck, or boat part and accessory has unique packaging and shipping considerations. We offer customizable packaging options for the various items you sell, from small accessories to much larger equipment. Additionally, boxes or inserts branded with your business logo or information can help create a strong brand impression and professional appearance for your orders.
Our warehouse staff is trained in the best practices for auto, truck, and boat parts e-commerce fulfillment. These items are often heavy and irregularly shaped, which can be a packing challenge. We have the necessary supplies to package each item securely, with enough packing peanuts, foam, or bubble wrap to ensure the items arrive undamaged at their final destination.
Processing Returns and Refunds
Returns and refunds are an inevitable part of an e-commerce business. Many customers purchase multiple items to try out their options or purchase items blindly without realizing something is incompatible with their existing equipment. When this happens, your customer wants to know they can easily return the item and search for the item they prefer. When returns are easy, your customers have a great experience that increases their loyalty to your business.
Global Docks provides the highest level of service, which includes efficiently processing returns and refunds. We update the inventory and repack items when necessary.
