Getting food and beverages from the warehouse to the customer isn’t as simple as moving boxes around. These products need special care that aligns with FDA regulations, including sophisticated temperature control systems that keep everything fresh and safe along the way.
When it comes to food storage, under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), facilities that store food products must register with the FDA and employ staff trained in food safety protocols. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

And when it comes to alcoholic beverages, things get even more interesting. Each state has its own rules about shipping alcohol, adding another layer to consider.
Save time vetting warehouses. Tell us your beverage storage and distribution needs – we’ll match you with facilities that have proven beverage handling experience.

Compare quotes from pre-screened beverage fulfillment warehouses in your target markets. Share your requirements with our team to start reviewing options.
While standard pricing typically starts with a base monthly rate, most facilities customize their pricing to match your needs. Temperature-controlled storage, special handling requirements, and volume commitments all influence your final costs. High-volume shippers often qualify for discounts, particularly on storage and shipping rates.

Warehousing and Fulfillment was the perfect matchmaker in finding us a fulfillment partner. They provided several great options, all of whom were very responsive and willing to take the time to talk through our needs. We ended up going with W&F’s top match and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend W&F, particularly to anyone whose business relies on a strong fulfillment partner.
