The TikTok Shop Trap: How a Viral Hit Can Kill Your Store (and How to Survive It)

This guide explains why “garage logistics” can’t survive the TikTok algorithm’s demand for same-day fulfillment. Partnering with a professional 3PL like FBMFulfillment provides the burst capacity and integration needed to keep your seller health in the green while you focus on creating the next FYP hit.
