Zip N’ Bear: Shopify orders and Amazon prep from one Palmdale warehouse
Zip N’ Bear is a kids brand: bamboo viscose pajamas, matching sets, and Zippy the Bear, a plush with a zipper compartment that holds matching PJs. ShipDepot receives, stores, kits, pick/packs Shopify orders, and preps Amazon inbound for that catalog from 114 Grand Cypress Ave, Palmdale, CA 93551.
Zip N’ Bear is also a brand we operate. We run it as a live account in the same warehouse we use for clients, not as a staged demo.
The operational problem
This is not one-SKU pick and pack.
- Apparel with sizes and prints
- A plush SKU (Zippy) that has to stay linked to the matching pajama print
- Bundles and kits (bear + matching PJs, gift-ready sets)
- Two channels from the same inventory: Shopify/DTC and Amazon FBA
If kits, FNSKUs, and DTC orders are split across buildings, you get missing matches, messy counts, and slow inbound. One Palmdale floor keeps receiving, kitting, Shopify, and FBA prep on the same inventory.
What ShipDepot does for Zip N’ Bear
- Receive and count inbound so units are verified before they hit a bin
- Store mixed apparel + plush without treating it like a single generic SKU
- Kit bundles (Zippy + matching pajamas) before they go to a customer or to Amazon
- Pick, pack, and ship Shopify / DTC orders from Palmdale
- FBA prep: labels, carton prep, and forwarding to Amazon when that channel needs inventory
- Returns and exception inventory when units come back and have to be checked in again
We do not publish order counts or error rates on this page. The proof is the live brand, the live warehouse, and the work above.
Why this matters to a brand shopping a 3PL
If you sell on Shopify and Amazon, you need a warehouse that can kit, label, and ship without treating apparel like a gadget. Zip N’ Bear is that mix: sizes, prints, a plush companion SKU, and two channels. That is the work ShipDepot is built for, including brands we do not own.
Best fit is still growing volume (typically about 1000+ orders/month or meaningful monthly fulfillment spend), not the lowest-price tiny seller.
Not a fit
- Lowest-price Amazon-only sellers who only want a labeler
- Brands that need a warehouse at the Ports of Los Angeles or Long Beach (we do not have one; Palmdale only)
- Undisclosed hazmat
FAQ
Is Zip N’ Bear a ShipDepot client or an internal brand?
Both. Zip N’ Bear is a brand we operate, and ShipDepot fulfills it from the Palmdale warehouse as a live account. The page is here as operational proof, not as a celebrity story.
Where is Zip N’ Bear fulfilled from?
114 Grand Cypress Ave, Palmdale, CA 93551. Same ShipDepot warehouse. Not a port warehouse in LA or Long Beach.
Do you only fulfill your own brand?
No. Zip N’ Bear sits alongside client work: ecommerce fulfillment, Amazon FBA prep, Amazon removals, kitting, returns, and B2B/retail when it is a fit.
Can you kit a plush with matching apparel?
Yes. Kit assembly is daily work, including Zippy + matching pajama sets.
