Please try to lower the sound of the intro, it always hurts my ear, it's loud compared to the sound of the other parts of the video. No offense or anything, constructive criticism😅

[@ShipmateFulfillment]

I'll mention it to our videographer Thanks

[@kdpsimplified1560]

Please, where are you located and what is your average shipping time, for example if i run a shopify store and want to fulfill orders using your service, what are the expected shipping times?

[@ShipmateFulfillment]

We are located in Philadelphia, PA orders received by 2pm EST ship same day. Transit times depend on destination and service type, but generally 1-5 days for standard and 2-3 days for expedited services. Please feel free to contact [e-mail] for more info.

Why are you filming from a green screen and not your actual warehouse?

[@ShipmateFulfillment]

Hi Wally,
Our warehouse is an active work zone. The sounds of forklifts, trucks, and machinery as well as the distraction it is to staff makes filling in the warehouse environment difficult without either negatively effecting video quality or employee productivity. We do occasionally film hands on videos in the warehouse by roping off sections and trying to do it during lunch time when the warehouse is least active. If you wish to see some videos in a live environment please check out some of our pallet building videos or our pump jack instructional to name a few.
Thank you!
