A Cosmetic Fulfillment Success Story
Celebrating 25 years in the beauty industry, Amazing Cosmetics is an independent, women-owned company specializing in complexion perfection. Known for products that cover imperfections flawlessly, they’ve earned a trusted spot in the television and film industry. This case study highlights the transformative impact of partnering with Badger Fulfillment Group on their business growth.
Interviewer: Tell us about your company and products.
Sue Katz: We are an independent women owned company that is entering our 25th year in business. We are a color cosmetics company focusing on complexion and have been heavily used in the television and film industry because our products completely cover imperfections without the look of makeup.
Interviewer: Had you worked with other 3PL’s previously? If so, what was your experience?
Sue Katz: We worked with another 3PL the first 8 years we were in business then purchased and ran our own warehouse since last year. The first 3PL was a nightmare with short ships and inaccurate inventory counts forcing us to take operations in our own hands.
Interviewer: What made you choose to work/partner with Badger Fulfillment Group?
Sue Katz: Running and owning our own warehouse was becoming more and more expensive so we began interviewing 3PLs to see how they worked now 16 years later with technology improvements. Many 3PLs I interviewed did not have the systems in place for smaller pick and pack items such as our cosmetics. We mostly ship B2C. There are a few companies that only ship cosmetics, but they are all on the coasts and more expensive. When I visited Badger, only an hour away, I was impressed with the cleanliness, organization and integrity they offer. Being a small independent company, we like to work with other independent companies that can and want to cater to our unique needs.
Interviewer: Can you speak to a specific experience in working with Badger that made a difference for you or your end customer?
Sue Katz: We have a point person, Dan who I can call pretty much anytime to help with a special order or to confirm an inventory count. We love never having to worry that our orders are shipped out accurately and on a timely basis. That is a huge weight off a small business like ours.

FAQs
How will inventory be tracked and managed efficiently to avoid stockouts or overstocking?
A strong 3PL partner tracks inventory in real time with clear SKU-level reporting. This helps you reorder products before they run low and avoid wasting money storing products that don’t sell. It also helps reduce fulfillment errors and keeps things running smoothly during high-volume periods.
How does a fulfillment center help manage expiration dates on beauty products?
Expiration dates can be tracked by batch or lot number when products are received. That data gets used to ship out the oldest product first. If you’re selling items like creams, serums, or anything with a short shelf life, this process helps you avoid spoilage and unnecessary returns.
How can fulfillment services support beauty product sales across multiple channels?
A capable fulfillment provider will integrate with all your sales platforms—like Shopify, Amazon, and retail EDI feeds—so your inventory stays synced and orders are processed without delay. This setup reduces overselling, keeps reporting clean, and helps you scale without having to juggle multiple systems.
What kind of reporting should I expect from a 3PL working with beauty and skincare products?
You should have access to real-time order and inventory reports, low-stock alerts, shipping timelines, and return data. These reports help you stay organized, improve customer service, and plan restocks based on actual movement—not guesswork.
How do fulfillment providers handle fragile packaging like glass jars or dropper bottles?
A good fulfillment team knows how to pack fragile beauty items with care. That means using things like box dividers, bubble wrap, or padded mailers. The goal is simple—make sure it shows up looking exactly how you packed it.
How quickly can a fulfillment provider begin shipping my beauty products after onboarding?
Most fulfillment centers can start shipping a few days after your inventory is received and checked in. The timeline depends on how many SKUs you have, how complex your packaging is, and how quickly integrations are set up.
What makes Badger Fulfillment Group a strong choice for beauty and cosmetic brands?
We work directly from the warehouse floor, not a call center. You’ll get same-day shipping, scalable services, and support from account managers who understand your products and business goals. Whether it’s kitting, packaging, or high-volume launches, we’re built to deliver.
