Logistics That Moves
as Fast as Your Brand.
CGN Retail & Fashion Logistics delivers speed, precision, and global reach for fashion brands, retailers, and eCommerce sellers — from seasonal collection freight to same-day delivery and garment-perfect returns.
Logistics That Understands
the Pace of Fashion.
Fashion and retail logistics is unlike any other sector. Seasons change on a fixed calendar. Collections are worth nothing after the window closes. Customer expectations for delivery speed, packaging quality, and returns simplicity are higher than anywhere else. CGN's retail and fashion logistics operation is built around these realities.
Talk to Our Retail TeamFrom the sourcing freight that gets new collections from manufacturing hubs in Asia, Turkey, and Portugal to distribution centres across Europe, the Americas, and Africa — to the last-mile delivery that hands the parcel to your customer and the returns network that brings it back — CGN manages the full retail supply chain.

From sourcing freight and distribution to last-mile delivery and returns — CGN manages every link in the retail supply chain under one account, one relationship, and one invoice.
Collection Freight
Fashion Sourcing & Collection Freight
Getting new collections from production to your distribution centre on time, in perfect condition, and on budget is the foundation of a profitable retail season. CGN manages inbound collection freight by air and ocean on every major sourcing corridor — from China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Turkey, Portugal, and Morocco — with pre-agreed capacity, seasonal surge planning, and in-house customs clearance included.
Distribution & Last Mile
Retail Distribution & Last-Mile Delivery
CGN's retail distribution operation handles everything from bulk B2B pallet delivery to retail stores and concessions to individual B2C parcel delivery to your online customers — all managed under a single account with real-time tracking, branded customer notifications, and integrated returns management built in from the start.
Every Retail & Fashion Logistics Service In-House.
Every capability below is delivered by CGN's own team — not sub-contracted to third parties at any stage of your supply chain.
Garment on Hanger
GOH containers and specialist handling preserving garment quality from manufacturer to retailer — no folding, no pressing required on arrival.
eCommerce Fulfilment
Pick, pack, and despatch for fashion eCommerce — with branded packaging, gift wrapping, and personalisation at the same speed as standard fulfilment.
Fashion Warehousing
Climate-controlled storage for premium garments, accessories, and footwear — with RFID inventory tracking and pre-retail services included.
Returns Management & Re-Commerce
Fashion returns are the highest volume and most complex in retail. CGN's returns operation handles receipt, inspection, grading, and restocking within 48 hours — with a re-commerce capability for B-grade items that recovers value rather than writing it off.
Value-Added & Pre-Retail Services
Ticketing, steaming, repacking, security tagging, quality inspection, and country-specific compliance labelling — all completed in-facility before despatch to store or end consumer to reduce retailer handling time at the point of receipt.
Plan Your Season.

The Right Fulfilment Model for Your Retail Business.
CGN supports every retail fulfilment structure — from direct brand-to-consumer eCommerce to wholesale B2B retailer supply to omnichannel hybrid operations.
eCommerce DTC Fulfilment
For brands selling direct-to-consumer online. CGN manages inventory storage, pick and pack, same-day despatch, and branded last-mile delivery to your customers worldwide.
Wholesale B2B Distribution
For brands supplying retailers, department stores, and concession partners. CGN delivers to retail compliance standards with retailer-specific labelling, EDI integration, and timed delivery.
Most Common for BrandsOmnichannel Hybrid
For retailers and brands operating both physical stores and online channels from a single inventory pool. CGN's omnichannel model routes orders intelligently to reduce fulfilment cost and delivery time.
Fashion Returns That Protect Your Margin.
Fashion has the highest return rates in retail — often 30–50% for online orders. CGN's returns operation is built to process returned garments faster, assess their condition accurately, and return them to sellable inventory before the season window closes.
Logistics That Supports Your ESG Commitments.
Fashion is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint — and your logistics partner is a significant part of that story. CGN helps retail and fashion businesses measure, reduce, and report the carbon impact of their supply chain.
CO2 Emissions Reporting
Full carbon reporting across every freight mode — per shipment, per lane, and per season — for your ESG disclosure and sustainability reports.
Rail vs Air Modal Shift
China-Europe rail freight offers up to 80% lower CO2 than air with 12–18 day transit — viable for non-urgent seasonal collections.
Circular Returns & Re-Commerce
Reducing fashion waste by routing returned garments to re-commerce, outlet, and donation channels instead of landfill disposal.
The Logistics Partner That Understands Your Calendar.
Capacity Pre-Booked for Your Season
CGN's retail and fashion team books freight capacity months ahead of peak season — SS, AW, and Q4 — so your collection arrives on time regardless of general market capacity constraints that catch other shippers off guard.
Garment Quality Preserved Throughout
GOH containers, specialist handling, climate-controlled storage, and garment steaming on arrival mean your products reach the sales floor — or your customer's door — looking exactly as they did when they left the manufacturer.
Returns That Protect Full-Price Sales
CGN returns processing within 48 hours means returned stock is back on your shelves — or relisted on your site — before the season window closes. Every week of delay in returns processing is lost full-price sell-through opportunity.
One Partner for the Whole Chain
Origin freight, customs clearance, DC storage, pre-retail services, store distribution, eCommerce fulfilment, last-mile delivery, and returns — all under one CGN account, one invoice, and one named retail account manager.
