This is where your cash is bleeding

Hey there Smarty 👋

This’ll sound obvious… until you see how many teams are still bleeding cash doing it the old way.

You manufacture overseas, ship to the US, pre-pay freight and duties… then hope the product moves.

Feels like standard ops, until you realize you’re burning cash before you earn a dollar.

That’s the silent trap.

You’ve already buried cash in 10,000 units you just hope will move… and even if they do, your margin’s already been hit by tariffs and fees long before a customer touches the box.

We’ve seen this slow down brands doing $200K or $20M. The only difference? How deep the bleed runs.

Here’s the setup smarter teams are using:

1️⃣ Manufacturing stays in China (no change there)
2️⃣ Portless holds inventory near the factory
3️⃣ Orders ship directly to the US → customer gets it in just 6 days

What changes instantly?

⏱️ Ship directly from China to customers in just 6 days
📦 Restock best-sellers in under a week without stockouts
💵 Pay tariffs only after your customers check out

It’s powered by Section 321, a U.S. customs rule that waives duties for low-value shipments. So you don’t pay tariffs upfront. You only ship what’s already sold, which means no gambling on bulk imports or guessing which SKUs will move.

Operators using this are launching faster, testing tighter, and skipping Q4 freight roulette entirely.

It flips your risk profile and your cash cycle, unlocking up to 3× better cash flow, faster margin recovery, and the speed you need this season.
