ZONE 3 · 3-DAY GROUND · NEW MEXICO

Three days. Zero hot air.

Albuquerque fulfillment from Paramount, CA — one straight run down I-40 at Zone 3 rates. Cheaper than any local 3PL, faster than the Midwest warehouses trying to cover the Southwest, and every quote includes the surcharges others hide in the fine print.

THE LAUNCH FIELD

Three markets most 3PLs fly right past

Albuquerque sits between Phoenix and Dallas, so national brands undervalue it. The demographics say otherwise: 36,000 federal jobs, a top-3 film market, and a regional CPG scene going national.

FEDERAL R&D B2B

Sandia & Kirtland supplier routing

Sandia National Labs employs 13,000+ and Kirtland AFB anchors another 23,000 — that's 36,000 federal jobs driving indirect-material and supplier demand. We ship B2B with EDI, ASN, routing-guide compliance, and dock-appointment scheduling. ITAR-restricted material routes through cleared carrier partners.

FILM PRODUCTION

Netflix ABQ Studios & the soundstages

Albuquerque is a top-3 U.S. film production market thanks to Netflix ABQ Studios and Albuquerque Studios. We fulfill wardrobe shipments, prop kits, crew gifting, and premiere swag with production-day delivery windows — line producers get a direct contact, not a ticket queue.

FBA ROUTING

ABQ2 and the Phoenix back-fill

One Amazon FC serves the metro, and Phoenix-area FCs back-fill ABQ demand constantly. We prep, label, and route FBA freight to whichever FC Amazon assigns — often a short hop from our dock.

FIESTA CALENDAR

We scale pick lines ahead of Albuquerque's demand spikes — inventory is positioned before the first balloon lifts off.

Where your orders touch down

LZ 01

Nob Hill & the Heights

Albuquerque's D2C core — Nob Hill's creative class and the Northeast Heights' federal-employee stability mean steady, high-repeat order volume. Three days on the ground, every time.

LZ 02

Southwestern CPG, shipped national

Hatch chile, jarred salsas, Native American jewelry, and southwestern decor move from ABQ to the whole country. We handle fragile, high-value, and lot-coded SKUs with FIFO rotation — and we default to vented seals for pressure-sensitive items, because 5,300 ft of altitude will puff a sealed pouch.

LZ 03

The Santa Fe & Taos gateway

ABQ is the logistics anchor for all of northern New Mexico. Santa Fe rides the same 3-day transit; Taos adds at most one ground day. One Albuquerque strategy covers the entire populated state.
