The Cincinnati advantage

The closest thing to the consumer — without the coastal price tag.

Cincinnati sits at the intersection of three major interstates and the country's geographic population center. ~70% of U.S. consumers are reachable in one day of ground freight — and ~99% within two days. Most brands ship faster from one Cincinnati node than from a coastal two-node network.

What we do

Every part of the cart-to-doorstep journey — under one roof.

One team, one WMS, one accountable account manager. From the order webhook to the customer's hands — and back, if it has to come back.

DTC pick · pack · ship

Real-time order ingest from your store, picked on Synapse WMS, packed in custom or stock cartons, and shipped via the carrier and service level your customer chose at checkout.

Subscription box programs

Monthly, quarterly, or ad-hoc cadences. Recurring waves, personalization, inserts, and a build standard locked to your brand book.

Custom packaging

Branded tape, custom mailers, tissue, void fill, stickers, hand-written cards — your unboxing moment, built by people who care about it.

Inserts & marketing

Versioned inserts, sample-included programs, lifecycle marketing card-drops — managed by SKU, segment, or campaign rule.

Returns processing

Inspection, grading, refurb, and disposition routing. Returns receive a portal status the moment they land at our dock — restock, refund, or destroy by rule.

Packaging sourcing

We partner with packaging converters to source materials on your behalf — cartons, mailers, tape, void fill, sustainable substrates. Buying power passed to you.

Cart-to-doorstep

Six steps. Same day. Audit-traceable.

From checkout to UPS hand-off — every event is logged in Synapse WMS, surfaced in your customer portal, and pushed back to your store.

Doorstep
Your brand, in their hands

The unboxing is the second impression — we treat it like it matters.

Custom tape, branded mailers, tissue, void fill, inserts, sample drops, hand-written notes — Taylor handles your unboxing standard with the same traceability we run on every other line.

The unboxing kit
  • Custom branded tape
    Logo-printed tape that turns every box into an ad — applied on every order, every time.
  • Custom mailers & cartons
    Branded mailers, full-color cartons, eco substrates — sourced via our packaging partners or BYO.
  • Tissue · void fill · stickers
    Tissue paper, branded crinkle, color-matched stickers — the small touches that drive repeat orders.
  • Inserts & samples
    Versioned inserts, sample-included programs, lifecycle marketing card-drops — managed by SKU, segment, or campaign rule.
  • Hand-written notes
    For brands where every touch counts. We'll write them. Yes, by hand.
Anatomy of a Taylor unboxing
We partner with packaging converters to source any of these materials on your behalf — and pass the volume pricing through. You don't need a separate packaging vendor.
Parcel rates · UPS preferred

Aggressive UPS parcel rates — passed straight to your unit cost.

We move enough D2C volume to negotiate strong UPS Ground, 3-Day Select, and 2nd Day Air rates — and we pass them through. Lower delivered cost on every order without signing a separate carrier contract.

UPS is the default — but USPS, FedEx, regional carriers, and DHL eCommerce are all wired in if your mix needs them.
Returns processing

Returns aren't a leak — they're a lever for retention.

Speed and transparency on returns drive repeat orders. Taylor processes returns against your rules, in your branded portal, with audit-grade traceability — and we send the refund signal back to your store the moment a decision is made.

01
Receive

Inbound returns are scanned at the dock, tied to the original order, and statused live in your portal.

02
Inspect

Visual inspection, photo capture for damaged units, and grading against your disposition rules.

03
Decide

Restock, refurbish, liquidate, or destroy — driven by the rule set you configured, not a one-off email.

04
Refund / Restock

Customer gets their refund signal through your store. Stock goes back online, or out for disposition.

Audit-grade traceability on every returned unit — lot, serial, condition, disposition, photos. Synced to your portal, exportable for finance.
Transparent pricing

One quote. One unit price. No hidden fees.

You shouldn't need a forensic accountant to predict your fulfillment bill. We quote one all-in unit price — covering receiving, storage, pick / pack / ship, packaging, portal access, and returns. Monthly invoice matches the forecast.
