In today’s fast-paced commerce landscape, your fulfillment strategy isn’t just a back-end function — it’s a competitive advantage. At Keys Logistics, we combine strategic West Coast positioning with a global footprint, offering scalable warehouse and fulfillment services in Los Angeles designed to help brands move smarter, faster, and more efficiently across borders.
Why Southern California is a fulfillment powerhouse
Port of Los Angeles & Port of Long Beach — your Pacific gateway
Southern California is home to the two busiest ports in the United States: the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach. Combined, they handle over 40% of U.S. containerized imports, making the region the ideal first stop for Asia-Pacific cargo. For international brands entering the U.S. market, this proximity significantly reduces ocean transit time and drayage costs. 
Inland Empire distribution corridor — speed to West Coast customers
The Inland Empire, just east of Los Angeles, has become the backbone of regional distribution. Our facility at 5550 E Jurupa St, Ontario, CA sits at the heart of this corridor, enabling same-day delivery across Southern California and rapid ground shipping to major metro areas on the West Coast.
LA logistics ecosystem — freight forwarding, 3PL, and last-mile synergy
Los Angeles isn’t just about ports — it’s an entire logistics ecosystem. From freight forwarding and customs clearance to last-mile delivery partners and 3PL synergies, businesses benefit from an interconnected network of logistics providers, labor pools, and technology infrastructure.

Decision framework — is an LA fulfillment center right for you?
SKU velocity, customer density, and average cart value
LA fulfillment makes sense when you have high SKU velocity, a dense West Coast customer base, or large average cart values where speed drives retention and LTV.
Shipping zone analysis vs. national 3PL split
Our logistics consultants can run a shipping zone analysis to determine whether a national 3PL split or LA-first model gives your brand the best cost-to-service ratio.
Checklist: when to scale into a second node (UK or other US regions)
Use our expansion checklist to determine when it’s time to add a second fulfillment node — whether in the UK, the East Coast, or other U.S. regions.

Our facility is 45 minutes from LAX and just over 60 miles from the ports of LA and Long Beach, ensuring fast inbound drayage and outbound air freight access.
