DTC beverage shipping from Charleston
Shipping beverages direct to consumers from Charleston cuts the zones a heavy parcel travels, which matters more for drinks than almost any other product because weight drives cost. Orders packed in Charleston go out in format-specific shippers: molded-pulp trays for cans, cell inserts and liners for glass, and tight cartons for powder tubs and coffee bags. With 1-2 day ground across the Carolinas and Southeast, more customers receive their order by ground in one to two days, and fewer packages spend extra days in hot or freezing trucks.
Lot control and storage in Charleston
Beverage storage in Charleston is managed by lot and best-by date from the moment a pallet is received. Cases are inspected for dents, swelling and leaks, then put away indoors and away from hot dock doors. Pickers are directed to the first-expiring lot, and you can set minimum remaining shelf-life rules for each channel, so retail buyers receive longer-dated product while DTC orders keep older stock moving. If a withdrawal is ever needed, our Charleston operations can isolate an affected lot and report every order it shipped on.
