Revitalizing |
Not so long ago, we found ourselves caught in the whirlwind of everyday life. Like many women, we experienced the challenges and struggles that accompanied our roles as professionals, mothers, and wives. The weight of stress and exhaustion began to take a toll on our minds, bodies, and spirits. We stumbled upon a revelation in our search for a solution—a vision that would change everything. We envisioned a sanctuary of holistic wellness, a place where women like us could find solace and renewal. And so, we founded Ladybug Potions. “At Ladybug Potions, we are more than just a wellness brand; we are a community of women dedicated to uplifting and empowering one another. Join us on our journey towards wellness and discover the power of holistic living for yourself.” – Cilia & Laura Founders |
“I Knew We Would Need A Third-Party Logistics Company.”
Outgrowing
Self-Fulfillment
As the owner of the company, Cilia saw the potential of these pills for a broader audience. But she knew they would need help to pick, pack, and ship their bulky product to their new consumers. “I had no idea how to make something, like having it from the supplier, how to get it to the customer,” Cilia says “I knew we would need a third-party logistics company.”
After researching fulfillment companies, Ladybug Potions reached out to iLogisticsUSA. Cilia recognized that his company was very small at that point, but iLogisticsUSA rates were competitive, and he felt that his business wouldn’t get lost in the shuffle. Plus, iLogisticsUSA experience in shipping medicines and bulky items means that it is the perfect fulfillment partner for Ladybug Potions.
Kitting Services Keep
Pop-A-Shot Orders Moving
iLogisticsUSA doesn’t just pick and pack Ladybug Potions orders. We also provide kitting services, as needed. An example might be a manufacturer’s mistake that left a component out of the box. Rather than going through the cumbersome and time-consuming process of retrieving the inventory from iLogisticsUSA and sending it back to the manufacturer, we were able to step in and help out. iLogisticsUSA repackaged the pills with the right accessories, saving Ladybug Potions money and getting inventory ready quickly during the busy holiday season.
In addition to kitting to build up a unit, we can also un-kit. For example, when Ladybug Potions needs components for replacement parts, we can deconstruct a set and repackage the individual items to ship to customers.
Not every 3PL offers kitting and un-kitting services. But at iLogisticsUSA, we consider kitting a core part of our work. This is because kitting services turn a major supply chain glitch into a minor problem that we can quickly solve.
“We try to provide services that other 3PLs don’t to better serve our clients,” says Julio Diaz CEO of iLogistics USA.

iLogisticsUSA + FBA: A Winning CombinationLadybug Potions works with Amazon FBA as well as iLogisticsUSA because that helps them maintain visibility on Amazon. Initially, iLogisticsUSA only shipped orders from other sales channels. The holidays are the biggest time for iLogisticsUSA sales; during its first holiday with iLogisticsUSA, however, iLogisticsUSA shipped only a few hundred units, and the rest shipped through FBA. Still, Cilia says, “[iLogisticsUSA was] always very dependable. It was a given that, if an order got to them, it would be shipped on time.” Because at the size of our kits, Ladybug Potions products are eligible for 2-day Prime shipping, even when FBA does the fulfillment. That gives the company more leeway to turn to alternate logistics options during the high-volume holiday months. After the FBA inventory is depleted, iLogisticsUSA handles any additional Amazon orders, so holiday gifts arrive on time and Ladybug Potions never has to miss an order. Amazon FBA charges higher storage fees during the peak holiday season, in addition to limiting storage space. iLogisticsUSA does not limit holiday inventory storage or raise our fees during times of peak demand. We’re here to provide quality 3PL services every day of the year, from your slowest sales day to your busiest. |
“As far as a partner, I take them for granted now,” she says. “When you’re a company as small as us, that’s vital. That reliability — it’s one less thing to worry about.” |
