3PL Fulfillment for Vape, Cannabis, CBD & Hemp Brands

Most 3PLs turn this category down on the first call. Carrier restrictions, age verification, state-by-state rules, and lithium batteries in vape hardware make it genuinely harder to ship. We handle hazmat and lithium battery compliance, run lot tracking and expiration control for ingestibles, and work within carrier and jurisdictional restrictions rather than around them.

Most 3PLs Say No to This Category

Brands in CBD, hemp, and vape hear the same answer repeatedly. Carrier restrictions, state-by-state regulatory variation, age verification requirements, and lithium batteries in vape hardware make this category genuinely harder to ship than most providers want to deal with.

The result is that growing brands in a large market end up with fulfillment partners who are either too small to scale with them or too inexperienced to keep them compliant.

Lithium Battery and Hazmat Capability

Vape hardware contains lithium-ion batteries, which are Class 9 dangerous goods. Shipping them requires correct classification, UN-specification packaging, hazmat labeling, and trained personnel. Getting it wrong means refused shipments at best and regulatory penalties at worst.

Jay Group maintains a DG-certified team and ships lithium battery products under full DOT and IATA compliance. We handle the documentation, the packaging specification, and the carrier requirements as a standard process rather than a special project.

Lot Tracking and Expiration Control for Ingestibles

Hemp-derived ingestibles, tinctures, gummies, and topicals carry expiration dating and require lot-level traceability. If a batch has a COA issue, you need to identify every affected unit and every order it shipped in, quickly.

We run lot and batch tracking with FEFO picking in Manhattan WMS across FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant facilities. A recall or a batch hold is a database query, not a warehouse search.

Carrier and Jurisdictional Navigation

Carrier policies in this category are specific and they change. So do state rules on what can ship where, and what age verification is required at delivery. We work within those restrictions rather than around them, with multi-carrier options and adult signature capability where required.

We will tell you plainly what we can and cannot ship. That is more useful than a provider who agrees to everything and discovers the problem after your inventory is in their building.

Channel and Marketplace Reality

Major marketplaces restrict or prohibit much of this category, which pushes brands toward their own DTC storefront and toward specialty retail and distribution. We support Shopify and other cart platforms, and we handle wholesale and distributor fulfillment with EDI through SPS Commerce where retail accounts require it.

Compliance Infrastructure That Extends Past the Product

Jay Group facilities are FDA registered and we are ISO 27001 certified, which covers how your customer data is secured, not only how your product is handled. In a category where customer privacy carries real sensitivity, that distinction matters.
