The best way of handling e-commerce order fulfillment is to have specific processes designed solely for the purpose of handling individual items across hundreds of different clients; each one wants their own method of packing, printing different dispatch notes, and integrating directly with different shipping companies.
In the August 25th issue of Picking Perfection, the social and cultural trends in clothing, such as undergarments, clothing accessories and eyewear, was explored.

The market encompasses a range of lingerie and intimate clothing, with bras representing more than 50% of the overall market, briefs around 33%, and corsetry more than 10%. Style and evolving market trends, such as novelty and comfort, are the main drivers of this industry.
