We built a 3PL because no one shipped like we did.
YNK is a 3PL and ecommerce fulfillment center in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. It ships for our own fashion brand, Veiled, and for brands like yours, with the same people and the same system.
A day at Dock 10, from the orders that came in overnight to the last carrier pickup.
Morning
Orders in
Last night’s orders from Shopify, Amazon and TikTok Shop are already in our system, and you can watch them on the same live dashboard we use.
Morning
Receiving
We scan every inbound unit onto the shelf. Nothing is sellable until your packing list and our count agree.
All day
Pick and pack
Before anything goes in a box, someone scans it against the order. On a six-unit order that’s six scans.
Afternoon
Restock and count
We refill the pick bins and check them against the system, so the count on your dashboard is the count on the shelf.
By 6pm
Carrier pickup
Every major carrier picks up here daily. We ship to all 50 states, Canada, the UK and the GCC, and tracking syncs back to your store.
From the warehouse
We built the 3PL we wished we had.
We were scaling Veiled, and no fulfillment company could keep up with us, so we built our own operation and ran it ourselves. Veiled still ships from here, next to the other brands below.
