Frequently asked questions
Does Flowspace have fulfillment centers in Illinois?
Yes, Flowspace operates fulfillment capacity in Illinois, with access to the Chicago metropolitan area—one of the most strategically important logistics hubs in North America. Illinois is central to Flowspace's Midwest network.
Why is Chicago considered one of the best fulfillment locations in the US?
Chicago sits at the geographic center of the US population and is served by an unparalleled transportation network, including O'Hare International Airport, six major Class I railroads, and a convergence of interstates including I-90, I-94, I-55, and I-80. From Chicago, brands can reach approximately 70% of the US population within 2 days via ground shipping.
How does Illinois-based fulfillment compare to other Midwest options?
