Custom Goods Logistics

Custom Goods Logistics is proud to be exhibiting at the 53rd NCBFAA Annual Conference, taking place April 12-15 at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa in San Antonio, Texas. Ivor Baum and Erick Salazar will be on-site at Booths 103 and 105, and would love to connect with you there. This year's conference has completely sold out, with more than 600 attendees and over 60 exhibitors filling the floor. The level of engagement from across the industry speaks to just how vital this community is. For Custom Goods Logistics, showing up as both an exhibitor and a sponsor is about more than visibility. It is about actively participating in the customs brokerage and freight forwarding community that we are part of every day. The NCBFAA has been the national voice of the logistics industry since 1897, representing more than 1,400 member companies and 110,000 professionals. Being in that room, exchanging ideas on regulatory developments, compliance challenges, and new solutions with the people who move goods across borders, makes all of us better at what we do! If you are heading to San Antonio, stop by Booths 103 and 105. Let's talk trade. #NCBFAA #CustomsBroker #InternationalTrade #FreightForwarding #TradeCompliance

Our Sr. Sales Director, Chuck Baldwin, represented Custom Goods Logistics at Shoptalk Spring 2026 this week. The event attracted 10,000+ attendees, 1 in 3 C-suite executives, nearly 1,000 tech companies, and 200+ speakers across three days at Mandalay Bay. Shoptalk puts 3PL providers exactly where they need to be - supply chain and last-mile delivery owned the agenda this year, and AI-driven logistics were front and center on the main stage. Here are our five takeaways from the conference:   1. AI Is Executing, Not Experimenting Retailers like Macy's and Sephora have moved from pilots to production — 3PLs must match with smarter, connected fulfillment ops. 2. Last-Mile Cost Is the New Competitive Edge Brands are obsessed with squeezing fulfillment costs. 3PLs without a data-backed cost-reduction story will lose the RFP. 3. Physical Retail Is Getting Smarter — Fast Store-level AI is raising the bar on replenishment speed and inventory accuracy. Real-time sync is now the baseline. 4. Delivery Reliability Is Brand Protection Update from the Reddit CEO - customers trust peer reviews more than anything. One missed shipment shows up in public reviews instantly. On-time performance protects your client's brand, not just your SLA. 5. Demand Spikes Are the New Normal Viral moments drive overnight demand surges. Scalable 3PL capacity turns a brand's big moment into revenue — not a bottleneck. Is your fulfillment partner keeping pace with where retail is heading? Let's talk! Reach out to the Custom Goods Logistics team—we'd love to hear what's on your supply chain agenda for 2026. #Shoptalk2026 #3PL #RetailLogistics #SupplyChain #AIinRetail

One warehouse serving the entire country is no longer a viable strategy for brands that compete on delivery speed. With Custom Goods Logistics' 36+ locations and 9M Sq Ft nationwide, our customers skip the cross-country freight bills and get their orders to end customers 2–3 days faster, on average. That means fewer zones, less transit time, and lower cost-to-serve — built into the network from day one. That's what a distributed network actually means in practice — and why brands that switch to regional fulfillment rarely go back.

Employees Appreciation Day is a reminder that great logistics starts with great people. To every team member who keeps operations moving, solves challenges quickly, and delivers for our partners every day—thank you. Your dedication, precision, and hard work are what keep a 3PL business running strong. Today, we want to thank the people across every part of the business who make it happen: our warehouse teams, drivers, supervisors, customer support teams, and everyone behind the scenes. Each role matters, and every contribution helps move the supply chain forward! #EmployeeAppreciationDay #Logistics #SupplyChain #3PL

Late deliveries don’t look like a “metric” to your customer — they look like empty shelves, missed production windows, chargebacks, and nonstop “where is it?” emails. That’s why OTIF (On-Time, In-Full) has become a true operations north star: because an order only counts when it arrives on time and complete. In our latest article, we break down why OTIF misses create ripple effects across inventory, labor, transportation, and trust — and what leaders can do about it.
