Covers all questions related to inventory management, order fulfillment, and shipping.
Hello, we are looking to find a new fulfillment center and are wondering if anyone can recommend a place from prior positive experience. Here is more about our business and criteria:
We are looking to partner with a new 3PL provider for our beauty hair brand company. We manage hundreds of SKUs and are searching for a fulfillment partner that can provide a dedicated small team to our account, with a single point of contact to ensure smooth communication and operations.
An important aspect of our business is processing returns, which involves inspecting products and, at times, repackaging them for resale. We need a 3PL partner who can handle this process with care and attention to detail.
Thank you for any suggestions!
I used to run a Shopify store where we shipped inventory from US, UK, Canada, and Germany.
We used ShipBob, they were great, and also Amazon FBA (routing orders from Shopify to the relevant Amazon marketplace, like this).
I now manage an app Order Automator, one of the features people use is for automating routing and fulfillment actions.
Through interacting with our users I've gotten some insights on some of the common 3PLs people use. In addition to the 2 I mentioned from personal experience, Flowspace gets good praise and seems to be a solid solution. Deliverr is another one that I see being used.
I would reach out to some, explain your situation, get a quote and decide who makes sense for you.
Start by just sending 100 units or so, to get a feel for the relationship. If it's good then scale.
Hello, 3PL founder here. I would suggest checking out Fulfill .com. There they have list of 3PLs by regions and you're able to fill out a form of the services your seeking. They then will reach out to potential partners to connect and get you closer to your goals finding a 3PL that meet your expectations.
