Our warehouse is at 2547 Old Lake Mary Road in Sanford, Florida. Despite the street name, the building is in Sanford, not Lake Mary, which trips up roughly half the people who visit for the first time.
It is the only warehouse we have. Every ShipBuddies order in the country is picked, packed and shipped from this building, which means there is exactly one place your inventory can be, and you are welcome to come stand in it.

Old Lake Mary Road runs between Sanford and Lake Mary, and the address confuses people, so here is the plain version. The building is in Sanford. Lake Mary city center is about 2.8 miles away. Downtown Sanford is 3.6 miles.
Coming from Orlando or Tampa, the natural route is I‑4 to SR 417, then off at CR 46A. Coming from Daytona, it is I‑4 to Exit 104 at US 17‑92. Either way you are about four and a half miles off the interstate.
Two navigation notes. If your directions send you to I‑4 Exit 98 at Lake Mary Boulevard, that is the long way around; Exit 98 is the farthest of the nearby interchanges. And if an older set of directions uses the Seminole Towne Center mall as a waypoint, ignore it. That mall closed in early 2025 and is being redeveloped.
This is the part a national platform cannot match, and it is the reason most of our customers chose us.
You can drive here, walk the floor, and watch someone pack one of your orders. Not on a scheduled tour along a cleaned-up route. On a Tuesday, because you were in the area and wanted to see the place your inventory lives. We are open Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
What a visit actually looks like: you see where your pallets sit, how they are labeled, and how a picker moves through an order. You meet the people who will be handling your product, not an account manager who flew in for the meeting. You can open a box.
There is a well-circulated checklist of questions sellers are told to ask on a 3PL site visit. Most providers hope you have not read it. Bring it. These are the ones that matter:
We would rather answer those standing on the floor where you can check the answers against what you are looking at. A provider who will not let you ask them inside the building is telling you something.
Sanford is not the first place people picture when they think about Florida fulfillment. It should be closer to the top of the list, and it comes down to what sits within a few miles of the dock.
Sanford also has a working shipping economy of its own. It is where a lot of Seminole County's ecommerce actually ships from, and the industrial district around the airport and the Port of Sanford has been growing for years. Lake Mary and Heathrow next door are where the brand offices sit. Sanford is where the boxes move.
Every Florida fulfillment conversation reaches hurricanes eventually. Some national providers use storm risk as a reason to talk you out of Florida warehousing altogether. It is a fair question, and the honest answer depends entirely on where the building sits.
Seminole County is inland. It sits well back from the coast on both sides, which places this warehouse outside the storm surge zones that cause the worst Florida logistics disruptions. A facility in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa or Jacksonville is coastal by definition. This one is not.
No Florida warehouse is storm-proof, and any provider claiming otherwise has stopped being useful to you. What is true is narrower and more useful: the specific risk that closes coastal facilities is not the risk this building carries.
The categories we handle most from this building:
If you are within an hour of here, the drop-off option is worth doing the math on. Bringing pallets to us yourself removes the inbound freight leg entirely, which is a line item that never appears on a national provider's quote because they cannot offer it.
Storage and receiving, pick and pack, kitting and assembly, returns, and multi-carrier shipping, for ecommerce and multi-channel sellers. Orders flow in from Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, WooCommerce and Walmart without anyone rekeying them.
The full picture of how we serve the rest of the state, what it costs and what switching involves is on the Florida order fulfillment page. For service detail: third-party logistics services, shipping optimization and returns and reverse logistics.
2547 Old Lake Mary Road, Sanford, Florida 32773, in Seminole County. Despite the street name it is in Sanford, not Lake Mary. It is our only warehouse and every order ships from it.
Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Call ahead on (800) 674-3441 if you want a specific person available when you arrive.
Yes, and we would prefer it. You are welcome to turn up during business hours and ask to see the floor. Bring the site-visit checklist above.
Yes. If you are in Central Florida this is usually the cheapest way to get stock to us, and it removes the inbound freight leg from your costs entirely.
It is close to the best one available. SR 417 is half a mile away, I‑4 about four and a half, and I‑75, I‑95 and Florida's Turnpike all connect within an hour. That puts 19 of Florida's 22 metro areas inside 275 road miles. The Florida page has the full distance table.
Seminole County is inland, which places this warehouse outside the coastal storm surge zones that cause the worst Florida logistics disruptions. That is a structural advantage over coastal facilities in Miami, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale or Jacksonville, though no Florida warehouse is storm-proof.
No. We ship nationwide from Sanford. Central Florida brands get the extra option of driving over, but the warehouse ships wherever your customers are.
Orlando Sanford International is 4.7 miles away and is a CBP Class A port of entry, useful for customs clearance, though it runs passenger service rather than scheduled air cargo. Port Canaveral is the closest seaport at 66 to 68 miles.
