Pick · Pack · Protect

We handle your goods the way fashion needs — and handle YOUR BUSINESS the way traditional 3PL's won't.

Handled like fashion

Garments folded and steamed, jewelry with its dust bag, shoes in their box. Your goods arrive as the brand you built, not like they survived a warehouse.

01

SKU depth that holds

30 styles across colors and sizes is 2,000+ variants. Our systems are built for fashion's size-and-color matrix, not bolted on after.

02

Inspected before it ships

Every order is checked before it leaves the warehouse. Nothing flawed goes out with your brand's name on it.

03

No trace of China

No Chinese origin marks on the package. No China in the tracking. If you don't want your customer to know where it shipped from, they won't.

The sample ladder

In fashion, sourcing is the harder half of the job. We handle it with you, on the ground, in the language the factory speaks.

No miscommunication with factories

Factory reps often speak broken English, and small misunderstandings become wrong samples. We talk to the factory in Chinese, so every detail comes out the way you asked.

01

Factories worth trusting

We only recommend factories we have checked ourselves. Checked for quality, for protecting your designs, and for how they treat and communicate with their clients.

02

We negotiate for you

Factories give better terms to buyers they know. We negotiate your minimums, prices, and payment terms, so you get the deal a stranger doesn't.

03

The bulk matches the sample

Factories sometimes cut quality on the bulk order and hope you won't notice. We inspect at the factory before shipping, so what you receive is what you approved.

04
MILLS TRIMS PACKAGING FACTORIES FOUNDERS
The room, not a vendor list

Two doors open when you work with us: the best of China, and a circle of fashion founders we know and work with.

Your people on the ground

We live and work in China. When something needs checking, negotiating, or fixing, we go there in person. You have eyes and hands in the country your products come from.

01

Work directly with founders

You talk to us, the founders, not a support team. We run fashion brands ourselves, so we understand your problems from your side of the table.

02

Come to China

We make your factory visits easy and efficient. Between the work, we show you our China: restaurants, nightlife, whatever you're into. Founders who visit once come back.

03

Meet founders like you

We introduce you to the other fashion founders we work with. Advice, contacts, honest talk. Working with us should feel like membership, not a monthly invoice.

04
Layer in what you need

When you grow, we grow. More sales for you means more shipping for us. So we pay attention to your whole business, not just your packages.

We speak ecommerce

Most 3PLs are run by logistics people. We run our own online DTC fashion brands, so we also understand the frontend of your business, not just the backend.

01

Sell everywhere, from day one

Your warehouse is next to your factory, so stock is ready to sell the day production ends, not two months later. And you ship worldwide at low cost, so no market is off limits.

02

We know your seasons

Fashion runs on hard dates: season launches, drops, Black Friday, Christmas. Miss one and the whole season suffers. We plan your stock around your calendar, not ours.

03

Start with the basics, add later

Begin with fulfillment. When you need help with sourcing or growth, we're always there for you. Move at your own pace.

04
The route

Two fulfillment models. One is much faster and more efficient than the other.

Most fashion brands still make their products in China, then wait six weeks while everything crosses an ocean to a warehouse. More and more are skipping that trip: fulfilling straight from China, with stock ready to sell the day production ends.

about four weeks earlier to market

For you, this changes three things.

01

New collections go on sale weeks earlier.

02

Your money is not locked in stock floating on the ocean.

03

You can sell to any country from day one, without opening a warehouse in each.

How the sync works

Your inventory isn't a spreadsheet

Your stock count updates live as orders ship and returns land. Every size, every color, always correct. What your store shows is what our shelf holds.

We deliver everywhere you sell

One warehouse, every market

From our warehouse in China, your brand can sell to any country. USA, Europe, Australia, the Middle East: one stock pool serves them all. No local warehouses, no choosing one market at the expense of another.

Local on arrival

Every order flies out and lands with a local last-mile carrier: Royal Mail in the UK, Australia Post, USPS in the States. Your customer gets local tracking and a delivery that looks and feels domestic.

No surprise customs fees

Duties are paid before the package arrives. Your customer is never stopped at the door with a fee.

Delivered on time

We ship with whichever carrier delivers the best speed for the price on your route. 98.8% on-time, 3 to 10 days worldwide.

Built by people who have run the road

Why we started Silk Road.

Before Silk Road, we were on both sides of the same industry. Markus and Norman ran fashion brands and fulfilled them from China. Peng spent his career inside China's fulfillment industry, building operations for other people's companies. From both sides we saw the same thing: what gets promised, what gets skipped, and how little these companies understood the brands they shipped for.

The idea started as a joke over tea — we should just build our own. It stayed a joke for three months. Then it wasn't.

We niched into fashion because it's what we know and what we love. Markus and Norman run fashion brands. Peng holds a Master's in international fashion marketing. Nobody in China was building a 3PL just for fashion founders, so we built the one we'd want to use ourselves.
