Ship Essential signs lifestyle clothing brand Madhappy as it takes wraps off West Coast fulfilment centre in US

Local fulfilment company, Ship Essential, has announced the opening of its downtown LA fulfilment centre. 

The 36,403 square foot space is located at 2535 East 12th Street in the heart of the Arts District within The Box Yard DTLA. Ship Essential, which is founded in 2020 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. has signed lifestyle clothing brand Madhappy to anchor the West Coast expansion.

“We are pumped to lead the urban fulfilment movement and what better location to tap into fashion and retail than downtown LA,” says David J. Sitt, Ship Essential founder.

“With hubs on both coasts, we can offer brands reduced shipping rates  while maintaining our high touch edge over commodity based competitors.”

With bi-coastal fulfilment leveraging undervalued urban locations, Ship Essential says it is reducing landed goods costs, providing faster deliveries with more flexible inventory control which all leads to greater customer experience.

LA’s Arts District is packed with retail brands that want manufacturing and fulfilment located close to one another, it adds.

“We pride ourselves in bringing the best products and experiences to our community,” says Peiman Raf, CEO and Co-founder at Madhappy. 

“We believe partnering with Ship Essential allows us to further enhance how we do that through a true long term work relationship."
