Texas 3PL fulfillment services for the Lone Star State

Texas is a powerhouse in ecommerce, boasting major urban centers like Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

However, fulfilling orders solely from within Texas might not be the most efficient strategy.

At Red Stag Fulfillment, we offer a smarter approach: leveraging our strategically located U.S. hubs for faster, more cost-effective shipping across the U.S.—including next-day service to major Texas metros.

Does your 3PL really need to be in Texas?

That might sound strange. 

After all, Texas has some nice benefits:

Its central US location enables stable, cost-effective shipping across all 48 lower states

The Port of Houston offers major logistics advantages with 32% year-over-year container growth.

Score 2 points for a Texas 3PL, right?

Maybe. But consider total cost of fulfillment.
Port proximity and customer location are just two pieces of a much bigger puzzle.

Here are some other important factors: 

Unreliable power grid = operational risks with documented winter outages

New Texas data privacy laws increase compliance costs

Cost of Texas warehouse space is up 21%, leading to higher fixed costs

Vulnerability to hurricanes and tornadoes = higher insurance premiums and operational disruptions

Even if it’s not your warehouse,
your 3PL is paying these costs, and passes them straight to you.

Red Stag sidesteps Texas’s high overhead so you don’t have to pay for it.

Instead, we’re a 3PL strategically optimized
to cut fulfillment costs and deliver exceptional customer experiences from coast to coast—including deep in the heart of Texas.

Sure, Texas is an attractive logistics hub, but skyrocketing warehouse rents, unpredictable weather events, and an overloaded power grid present serious challenges.

By choosing Red Stag Fulfillment’s strategically placed central U.S. hubs, your ecommerce brand can effortlessly reach Texas and beyond—achieving consistent two-day delivery while bypassing costly in-state logistics hurdles.

Texas brands deserve fulfillment as bold and reliable as the Lone Star State itself. That’s exactly what Red Stag Fulfillment delivers.

You also don’t need to take our word for it

My wholesale 3pl went bankrupt in q3.

Their client list included:
– a dtc hemp drink company
– a mattress company
– a chocolate company

All shipping from San Francisco, the most expensive real estate in the world…

I wonder why they went bankrupt????

The propaganda machine of the larger 3PLs has consultants and supply chain professionals brainwashed.

If you’re an e-commerce founder and you’re not producing close to 5 million in GMV, or you only ship 50-100 orders per day, you don’t need to worry about how many locations your 3PL has.

You also don’t need to be in Texas either. Here’s why:

You will pay more. This is not up for debate.

Freight, storage, management, split shipments—I’ve heard brands need to carry 30% more inventory. You’re chasing a ghost.

Even Amazon barley cares if you get your product in 2-days anymore.

Frequently asked questions


Do I really need a warehouse in Texas?

Not always. Centrally located facilities—like Red Stag’s dual-hub network—reach 96 % of U.S. households within two days. You avoid rising in-state rents, weather disruptions, and overloaded power grids while still offering speedy delivery to Houston, Dallas, Austin, and beyond.

How fast can you ship to Texas from your current locations?

From our dual-hub network, standard ground service reaches major Texas metros in 1–3 days. Because your inventory is split between two strategic hubs, you ship across fewer zones, trim carrier surcharges, and keep transit times competitive with many “local” 3PLs.

How many fulfillment centers does an ecommerce brand actually need?

Most nationwide sellers thrive with two well-placed warehouses. Too few locations can slow deliveries; too many can scatter inventory and bloat costs. Our dual-hub model balances speed, coverage, and stock efficiency—letting you serve Texas quickly without overextending your operation.

What makes Red Stag’s guarantees different from a typical Texas 3PL?

We offer industry-leading promises: 100 % order accuracy and 100 % on-time shipping, or we pay the shipment cost plus $50. If we make a mistake, we fix it, cover the bill, and compensate you—aligning our incentives with yours every single day.

What should I evaluate when comparing Texas 3PL options?

Beyond geography, look at:
• Error-rate transparency and money-back guarantees
• Seamless integrations with your ecommerce tech stack
• Experience with bulky or high-value products (a Red Stag specialty)
• Capacity to scale during peak season without surprise fees
• Data visibility—do you get real-time inventory, sales, and freight insights?

A provider that excels in these areas—regardless of ZIP code—will help you lower total fulfillment costs and keep customers in Texas (and everywhere else) satisfied.
