ZONE 7 · 5-DAY GROUND · CITY OF BRIDGES
Pittsburgh went from steel to AI without dropping a shift. We run fulfillment the same way — orders in by 2 PM PT ship the same business day, ride 5 days of ground, and land anywhere in Western PA for less than a local 3PL charges. The climb is ours; the view is yours.

THE POINT
The Allegheny and the Monongahela meet at the Point and become the Ohio. Your D2C and B2B channels work the same way here — two streams, one inventory.
ALLEGHENY · D2C
Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop — every channel picked and packed the same business day with a 2 PM PT cutoff, landing anywhere in Western PA in 5 days.
MONONGAHELA · B2B
Palletized freight, EDI, ASNs, and appointment deliveries into UPMC purchasing groups, Pittsburgh retailers, and Western PA distributors.
OHIO · ONE FLOW
Both channels draw from the same California stock — no split inventory, no double storage fees, one flat per-order rate at the point where it all comes together.
