Food & Beverage Fulfillment
Food and beverage fulfillment is storing and shipping packaged food, snacks, coffee, tea, sauces and drinks to consumers and retailers. Food brings rules other products don’t: FDA requirements for food sold in or imported into the US, best-before dates, and packaging that keeps glass and liquids intact. YouParcel fulfills shelf-stable food and beverage products from New Jersey and California. If your products need refrigeration or freezing, talk to us before you send anything.

How food and beverage fulfillment works
For products that store at room temperature.

2. Receive and check
Shelf-stable products only, unless we agree otherwise
This service is for products that store and ship at room temperature. Chocolate in summer, refrigerated or frozen products, and products with short shelf lives need a conversation first, so tell us about them before you send stock.
Glass, liquids and gift boxes
Sauces, oils and drinks in glass need the right protection to arrive intact. We pack them with protective materials and dividers, and kit gift boxes, sampler sets and holiday bundles to your spec.
Importing food into the US
Food imported into the US is regulated by the FDA, which requires prior notice of food shipments and registration for many food facilities. These obligations sit with the manufacturer and the importer. We provide freight forwarding and customs brokerage, but YouParcel does not act as importer of record. See US fulfillment for international brands.
