Hi, I am doing some basic market research of small-medium sized sellers to help me model and validate a new concept for 3PL’s. With this data, I’m planning to run a Proof Of Concept in Perth and if successful, a roll out to other capital cities. The concept is to keep costs low while often a personalised service to sellers that might be stuck between having the resources to store, pick, pack and fulfill themselves and a big 3PL with minimums orders.

Could I ask you for 5 mins to fill out this survey and if it’s something you are interested in hearing more about, there is a place for your email address.

Thanks in advance!
