Floor Ready Services is a different animal from most centers in this directory: it is not an ecommerce marketplace prep shop but a supply-chain operation serving wholesale, retail, and manufacturing channels with floor-ready retail merchandise. Based in Arden, North Carolina, it was founded by Mark Lewis after a career in apparel sales and has run for 50-plus years, with his daughter Jessica Lewis as operational director. The company reports shipping 40 to 50 million units a year and processing more than a million units a week, with over 1,000 completed projects on record. For surge or crisis work it cites a 48-hour average workforce mobilization time. Its specialty is apparel, and engagements are scoped by custom quote. Amazon and Walmart sellers should note it does not handle FBA or marketplace fulfillment, so it suits brands and manufacturers needing retail-channel prep. Its Google rating is 3.8 across 8 reviews.
