7 Best 3PL’s for Small Businesses

Do you feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day?  

Are you running out of space and being overrun with boxes and envelopes?

Are you overwhelmed with the number of orders you're receiving? 

More customer orders are what you need to keep growing your business but at a certain point, it can start to really take a toll on you when you try to manage it all yourself. 

Working with a fulfillment center, aka a 3PL,  may be just what the doctor ordered. 

You may be thinking, I can’t afford it.  I have too much going on to take on another project.  You might be afraid to rely on someone else for your customer satisfaction and handling of your product. 

You and I both know that living like this isn’t healthy or sustainable. So let’s get you the support and peace of mind that you deserve

There are folks out there who care about your business’ success as much as you do. They’re called fulfillment centers and they need you as much as you need them. 

There are a lot of fulfillment centers out there though and they’re not all created equal.


Where do you even begin?

You know you need to do something, but there are so many factors to consider that analysis paralysis might be keeping you from taking the next step. 

Maybe you’ve taken that step and are already working with a 3PL. 

  • Are you experiencing misplaced inventory?

  • Hidden fees and price increases? 

  • Are you not able to make changes to customer orders once they’ve been placed? 

  • What about the holidays… are your customers getting their orders on time? By the way… are you enjoying the holiday seasons or are you totally overwhelmed?

  • Does it seem impossible to get someone on the phone??

These are common headaches people experience when working with fulfillment centers, especially those with an overwhelming amount of clientele.


We’ve compiled a shortlist of the top-recommended centers in the US so you can easily choose and start saving your time and money today

Things to consider when choosing a fulfillment center:

  • What type of products are you selling?

  • Do these products require special packaging or handling? ie. fragile items, frozen foods, extra-large packaging

  • Where do you sell most of your products: Amazon, Shopify, Social Media, brick & mortar shop?

  • What matters to you: cost, speed, quality, 1-on-1 support?
