Why Chicago’s logistics market matters for growing businesses

Chicago is not just a city in the Midwest—it is one of the most important supply chain hubs in the United States. With its central location, Chicago gives businesses fast access to major markets on the East Coast, Midwest, and beyond.

The city’s infrastructure is world-class. O’Hare International Airport consistently ranks among the top 10 busiest cargo airports globally. The city is also connected by extensive interstate highways (I‑90, I‑94, I‑55) and one of the largest rail networks in the U.S. This makes Chicago a natural choice for companies that need to move inventory quickly and cost-effectively.

Keys Logistics – connecting Chicago businesses to a nationwide and global network

Keys Logistics specializes in helping e-commerce brands, Amazon sellers (FBA/FBM), D2C companies, and B2B distributors scale without the need for large infrastructure investments. We process over 10 million orders annually and operate strategically located facilities to cover key markets:

Inland Empire (Ontario, CA – 5550 E Jurupa St, CA 91761): Our U.S. hub near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach allows us to consolidate international inventory and distribute nationwide.
United Kingdom (Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire – Bessemer Drive, Festival Park, ST1 5GR): Our European fulfillment center connects international sellers to the U.S. market.

While we do not currently have a physical warehouse in Chicago, our Inland Empire facility allows us to deliver to Illinois and the greater Midwest region within 2–3 business days through our national carrier network.

How our centralized hub strategy works for Chicago businesses

Using a centralized hub like Inland Empire brings efficiency and cost savings:

Faster processing of international imports thanks to proximity to major West Coast ports.
Full inventory visibility through advanced systems such as Oracle NetSuite WMS and ShipHero.
Partnerships with leading carriers like UPS, FedEx, and USPS ensure predictable, fast delivery to Chicago customers.

Comprehensive fulfillment services tailored to Chicago companies

Keys Logistics offers a wide range of services designed to streamline your operations:

Overseas warehousing
We make it easy for businesses to store and manage their international inventory. Keys Logistics receives shipments from Asia and Europe at our strategically located Inland Empire (U.S.) and UK hubs, where products are inspected, consolidated, and prepared for distribution. This centralized approach reduces shipping costs, shortens lead times, and positions your inventory closer to your customers in Chicago and the Midwest.
Outsourced fulfillment
Our team handles the entire order fulfillment process so you can focus on growing your business. From precise pick & pack to reliable shipping, we manage every step with efficiency. We integrate seamlessly with major e-commerce platforms and marketplaces—including Amazon (FBA/FBM), Shopify, TikTok Shop, WooCommerce, Temu, and Shein—giving you real-time visibility into orders and stock levels.
Last-mile delivery
We partner with trusted carriers such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, and regional delivery services to ensure fast and cost-effective delivery across Chicago, Illinois, and the broader Midwest. Our optimized shipping routes and carrier selection guarantee that customers receive their orders on time and in perfect condition.
Return management
Returns can be complex, but we simplify the process. Our reverse logistics solutions include product inspection, quality checks, repackaging, restocking, or eco-friendly disposal. By streamlining returns, we help you maintain customer satisfaction and minimize losses.
Transit & cross-docking
For businesses dealing with time-sensitive or high-volume products, our cross-docking and direct transfer services move goods straight from ports or airports to outbound trucks or customers without long storage delays. This reduces handling costs and accelerates delivery to your Chicago customers.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping
International shipping often comes with hidden costs and delays. With our DDP shipping service, Keys Logistics manages all duties, taxes, and customs clearance for you. Your customers in Chicago and beyond receive their orders without unexpected fees or interruptions.
