Fashion & Apparel Logistics

Why apparel and fashion brands choose Space Shipping

• Specialty: last-mile mall and flagship-store delivery, pool distribution and consolidation built specifically around apparel and footwear replenishment schedules.
• Capabilities: appointment-scheduled store deliveries, a 41,000 sq ft gated and camera-monitored Jamesburg dock for staging and consolidation, EDI 210/214 and same-day proof of delivery for routing-guide compliance.
• Why it stands out: three decades hauling exclusively in this niche, not general freight. PVH Corp. — parent of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein — named Space Shipping its 2011 Zone Carrier of the Year for 99.26% on-time deliveries, and Tommy Hilfiger has stayed its longest-standing client ever since.
• Best for: fashion and apparel brands and retailers that need a carrier fluent in mall dock rules, chargeback-driven delivery windows and store-level replenishment, not a generalist last-mile provider.

Why apparel freight is different

Apparel moves on a calendar. Floor sets land on a date, seasonal product has a shelf life measured in weeks, and a late carton means markdowns, not just a late carton. Retailers enforce that calendar through routing guides and chargebacks, and mall landlords enforce it through delivery windows, dock rules and security check-ins.

Space Shipping was built for this work. Our longest-standing client, Tommy Hilfiger, has trusted us with it for decades, and PVH Corp. — parent of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein — named us its 2011 Zone Carrier of the Year for exemplary on-time deliveries, exceptional communication and accurate reporting.
