2-Day Shipping Fulfillment Without Air Freight
Our Kansas City location delivers 2-day ground shipping to over 70% of the U.S. population — no premium shipping required.
How to Compete with Amazon on Delivery Speed
Amazon Prime has made 2-day delivery the consumer expectation. Independent brands that can't match it lose customers to competitors who can — including Amazon itself. But achieving 2-day delivery without air freight requires being in the right location.
Fast Fulfillment's Kansas City facility gives you that location advantage. Ground shipping from the center of the country reaches over 70% of the U.S. population in 2 days — without any expedited surcharges. Brands shipping from the coasts can't achieve this at ground rates.
When you add our 2 PM CST same-day processing cutoff, orders placed today can arrive at most U.S. addresses by the end of the following business day. That's a 2-day delivery promise your customers can rely on.

The Economics of 2-Day Shipping from the Midwest
Ground Rate vs. Air Rate
Ground shipping from Kansas City achieves 2-day delivery for 70%+ of customers. The same result from a coastal warehouse requires expensive 2-day air freight — often $10–$20 more per package.
Same-Day Processing
Our 2 PM CST cutoff means orders processed today are in-transit before end of day. Add 2-day ground transit and most customers receive their order within 2 business days of ordering.
Top 100 3PL Performance
Our 99.9% order accuracy and on-time shipping rate means your 2-day promises are kept — even during peak periods and high-volume events.
