Selling Pictures Online / From your Chatsworth Fulfillment House, River Plate

This page is brought to you by your friendly Southern California fulfillment house, River Plate. We have had the great good fortune to expand our business, so we just moved to a new larger facility. We are now your Chatsworth Fulfillment House.

One of the reasons we moved to a larger facility is because our clients are doing so well. And when our clients do well...we do well. Many of our customers have stores online, and we provide the fulfillment services for their inventory - pick and packing, custom assembly, shrink wrap service, and a lot more.

This is why we consider ourselves to have a unique perspective when it comes to building a legitimate business online. We want to share with you what we know so that you succeed. Because when you succeed, we win. Of course, we would love to take care of your inventory needs, but even if you choose a different fulfillment house we are happy to contribute to your growth by providing great information.
