We've been on the seller side.
Mark and Abhi both ran e-commerce brands before building Warehouse Republic. The mistakes our site managers already know to avoid are ones we have been on the wrong end of ourselves.
Mark Taylor runs the operation. The people who touch your account have run a warehouse floor. Founded in 2018, with fulfillment centers in Ontario, California and Kernersville, North Carolina.
Why we built this
Both founders came from the seller side of the equation. The 3PLs we hired before starting Warehouse Republic missed the obvious things: wrong FNSKU, late inbound, chargebacks surfaced six weeks later as deductions. So we built the operation we wished we'd been able to hire.

How we operate
Mark and Abhi both ran e-commerce brands before building Warehouse Republic. The mistakes our site managers already know to avoid are ones we have been on the wrong end of ourselves.
Ontario, California for West Coast inbound, about 60 miles from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Kernersville, North Carolina for East Coast reach: 94,454 square feet and 7,907 pallet positions. One contract, one portal, both buildings synced in real time.
Technology is what keeps it honest. EDI through Extensiv, real-time inventory across both buildings, and channel-aware routing exist so orders go out right, not so there is a portal to log into.
Founder and CEO
Mark Taylor founded Warehouse Republic in January 2018. Before that he ran two e-commerce brands selling on Amazon, and the reason this company exists is a container of wine glasses that did not sell. Eighteen months of Amazon long-term storage fees made the math obvious, so he moved the inventory into 3,000 square feet of a friend's warehouse in Tucson and started saving money the first month. A $120 Reddit ad that read "beat Amazon long-term storage fees" brought in the first customers. He moved to Southern California for the first building, slept on an air mattress inside it, and unloaded the first container by hand in the Riverside summer heat. The business started as 100 percent FBA prep and grew into omnichannel fulfillment as customers asked for more. Mark still takes most first calls, hosts the Supply Chain Saga podcast, and holds an MBA from the Acton School of Business. He lives in Austin, Texas.

when you're packing orders, you better think about my 88 year old grandmother. That might be who's getting this.
For parcel and DTC, send 12 months of shipment data and we will show you what fulfillment would cost, including if the answer is that you should stay where you are. For storage, retail distribution, and value-add work, tell us what you are moving and we will quote it. You will hear back within one business day, and the next step is a call with Mark.
