Lot-controlled supplement storage in Chicago
Supplement storage in Chicago starts with lot-level receiving. Every inbound pallet or carton is checked against your purchase order, and lot numbers and expiration dates are recorded before stock becomes available to pick. FDA-registered, cGMP-aligned storage options in Chicago keep product off the floor, away from chemicals and pests, and in conditions suited to the format, while damaged or returned units go to a hold status instead of back to the shelf. Because Chicago offers 1-2 day ground to most of the Midwest and much of the US population, holding stock here shortens transit time for a large share of your customers, which also means less time in a hot truck for heat-sensitive formats.
Subscription and DTC supplement shipping from Chicago

We look at your renewal calendar with you, staff for the volume and release orders so subscribers receive refills before they run out. Pick logic enforces FEFO, and each order records the lots it contains. A major cross-country rail and truck crossroads, ideal for a central inventory position. For DTC, that combination of speed and traceability supports fewer support tickets, fewer late-refill cancellations and a faster answer when a customer asks about a specific bottle.
