Big & Bulky Fulfillment for Oversized, Heavy & Non-Standard Freight
- Specialized 3PL handling for oversized and heavy freight that most warehouses can't accommodate — furniture, construction materials, plywood, steel coils, industrial goods, and more.
- High-bay facilities, wide-aisle equipment, and experienced teams built for the unique demands of non-standard product storage and fulfillment at scale.
This solution is designed for companies that:
- Handle oversized, heavy, or non-standard freight — furniture, building materials, plywood, steel coils, industrial equipment, or other large-format goods
- Require high-bay or wide-aisle storage that standard 3PLs turn away or handle poorly
- Ship to retail, wholesale, DTC, or contractor channels with strict handling and compliance requirements
- Manage SKUs that vary widely in size, weight, and packaging configuration
- Need a 3PL with the equipment, experience, and space to handle complex freight — not just standard small parcel
How Big & Bulky Fulfillment Works at GSW
From container unloading to outbound routing — purpose-built workflows for oversized, heavy, and non-standard freight at every step.
Inbound & Container Unloading
Oversized freight and containers received and unloaded with appropriate equipment — no damaged goods, no shortcuts on large-format items.
High-Bay Storage
Inventory staged in high-bay, wide-aisle racking designed for large, heavy, and irregular-size SKUs — organized for efficient access and cycle counting.
Fulfillment & Prep
Pick, pack, and prep for retail replenishment, wholesale palletizing, or DTC shipment — including labeling, cartonizing, and compliance requirements.
Outbound Routing
Shipments routed via LTL, truckload, or final-mile carriers with full tracking — optimized for the weight and dimensions of bulky freight.
What Onboarding Actually Looks Like
Once contracts and pricing are finalized, typical onboarding takes 2–6 weeks depending on your product complexity and volume.
System Integrations
We connect to your existing platforms — Shopify, EDI, ERP, or WMS — before any inventory arrives. No manual data re-entry, no gaps in visibility.
SKU Setup & Configuration
Product dimensions, weights, packaging specs, and handling requirements are mapped. Storage locations and equipment needs are confirmed for each SKU.
Testing & Validation
EDI transactions, carrier integrations, and order routing are tested end-to-end. We validate weight/dim accuracy, labeling compliance, and exception workflows before going live.
First Shipment & Go-Live
Initial inventory is received, verified, and slotted. We process a controlled first run and confirm accuracy before scaling volume.
We set up processes correctly from the start — rushing large, heavy product into the wrong setup is an expensive mistake we help you avoid.

- Direct access to decision-makers
- Faster response times
- Flexibility when operations change
