E-commerce fulfillment is the series of steps an order goes through from the moment a customer places an order online until that order is delivered to its final destination. These steps include receiving, processing, selecting, packaging, and shipping (transporting) orders. Depending on the size of a business (among other factors), a business may choose to handle e-commerce fulfillment in-house or use a fulfillment center or provider.

Over the past 20 years, RSL has successfully evolved with the ever-changing eCommerce industry to stay ahead in the order fulfillment industry and position itself as a leader in the 3PL business.

Working around shoppers to find items is also arduous. In some cases, associates get caught fulfilling orders instead of helping customers. Designated pickers also answer questions from shoppers, a mandatory delay preventing quick online order turnarounds. To address traffic distraction, Macy’s associates pull the bulk of online orders before the store opens, according to the Wall Street Journal. Retailers also need to set up sophisticated packaging and shipment departments in their stores.

RSL's order fulfillment services already offer customers a variety of shipping methods that provide both cost savings, as well as a way to expedite delivery to clients. The company's Xparcel Expedited offers 2–5-day transit shipping, while Xparcel Ground provides a 3–8-day transit time for deliveries. In fact, recent statistics confirm that RSL clients using Xparcel Ground have saved as much as 29% in delivery costs.
