- Quality Check: Verifying that the item’s barcode, color, and size match the order exactly before removing it from the shelf.

The Packing Phase (The Prep)
- Secure Packaging: Selecting the right size box or mailer and using protective materials (bubble wrap, air pillows, or kraft paper) to prevent damage.
- Labeling: Sealing the package and applying the correct shipping labels and "fragile" or "heavy" stickers as needed.
- Documentation: Including packing slips or promotional materials inside the box before sealing.
- Weight Verification: Weighing packages to ensure they meet shipping carrier requirements.
