Case Study: A Men’s Apparel Brand That Scaled from 22 to 6,000 Orders/Week

​

Client Background

A fast-growing men’s apparel brand built its early success through direct-to-consumer sales and local events.

​

The Challenge

When the brand first connected with MoShipCo, they were shipping only about 22 orders per week. The founders were personally handling fulfillment out of their office. What started as a manageable side task quickly became unsustainable. One 120-shirt order alone took them five hours to pick and pack. As orders began to grow, the team realized they were spending valuable time on non-core activities instead of focusing on product development, marketing, and brand growth. They also faced the looming decision of whether they would need to move into a warehouse and manage their own fulfillment operation.

​

The Turning Point

After experiencing the strain of scaling fulfillment manually, the founders decided to outsource. Within hours of handing over their inventory, MoShipCo had their products online and ready to fulfill. This allowed the team to immediately redirect their energy toward growing the business.

​

The Results

The brand scaled rapidly after outsourcing fulfillment. Weekly order volume grew from 22 to over 3,000. Shipping times improved dramatically — from 2–3 days down to 12–24 hours. With reliable, barcode-driven picking and packing, error rates dropped significantly. The brand was also able to expand into retail distribution, with MoShipCo supporting the preparation and delivery of product to hundreds of retail locations across the country. Most importantly, the founders avoided the cost and complexity of operating their own warehouse and were able to stay focused on building the brand.

​

Key Takeaway

You’re never too small to benefit from professional fulfillment. By offloading logistics, founders can focus on what they do best — building and marketing their brand — while gaining the operational capacity to scale efficiently.
