At Your Service


Exceptional Customer Service

Orders can be processed via toll-free phone calls, by fax, online, or by mail. The latest e-commerce technology facilitates electronic ordering and confirmation. Best of all, our experienced customer service representatives are trained to answer questions and solve problems with courtesy and professionalism.

Fast Order Processing

We use the latest scanning technology to process and confirm electronic orders, track shipments, adjust inventory, and process returns. Situated near major trucking routes, our climate controlled warehouse is staffed by experienced professionals who handle receiving, racked storage, pick-and-pack, drop and bulk shipping, individual cartoning, and returns processing.

Secure Sales Reporting

HFS clients have online access to critical data, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our software instantly records orders processed and inventory data as soon as orders are processed. You receive daily and monthly sales updates, as well as access to HFS Reporting Suite, which allows you to generate custom reports on the data that you need when you need it.

Collection Services

We pay you based on monthly net sales--not on sums collected. We handle credit and collections, and we work with your customers to resolve disputes, chargebacks, and unanticipated returns amicably and professionally.
