Order Fulfillment
Epluno stores, fulfills, and ships each order at its warehouse. By doing so, we do not have to rely on 3rd parties to fulfill orders.
Back Orders
Products that are not available in the store can be put on back order. They will be listed as a separate order in the system.
Currently Donalds has multiple ways of handling a back ordered item:
-
Exclusive school item they will typically ship at no cost.
-
Optional items may be setup for store pickup or charged a shipping cost.
Decoration
We can add custom decoration to apparel at our warehouse. Theses might include things like school logos on their uniform.
