Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Let’s clear the holiday haze

When should I move into Saltbox before peak season?

We recommend moving into your Saltbox suite at least 60–90 days before your peak sales period. This gives you time to organize your workspace, set up your fulfillment flow, and onboard with any Saltbox services to make the most of Q4.

What support does Saltbox offer during the holidays?

From in-suite logistics to hands-on labor support, Saltbox has your back. Our team can help with receiving, pick-and-pack, FBA prep, and even custom kitting. Plus, our climate-controlled spaces and loading docks are designed to keep your operations running smoothly—no matter how wild the peak gets.

How does Parsel help with holiday shipping?

Parsel is Saltbox's shipping app partner that gives you access to discounted rates across UPS, USPS, FedEx, and regional carriers. You’ll get order batching tools, branded packaging support, and real-time tracking to reduce errors and boost delivery speed—without the third-party markup.

Can I use Saltbox just for Q4?

Heck yes. Many brands use Saltbox seasonally to handle peak demand, especially if their existing setup can’t scale. With flexible lease terms and no long-term commitments, Saltbox is the perfect seasonal solution for brands that want to crush Q4 without overcommitting.

How easy is it to switch from a 3PL?

Easier than your last breakup. We’ve helped tons of small businesses transition from traditional 3PLs with zero downtime. With Saltbox, you’ll regain control over your fulfillment, reduce missed delivery windows, and keep that personal touch your customers love.
