E-commerce business owners and decision makers find themselves at a 3PL selection juncture that tends to be an important milestone in their company’s growth, whether it’s due to their Shopify store having outgrown what they themselves can ship out of the garage in a day, dissatisfaction with their existing 3PL, or needing assistance with a massive product launch. 

Regardless of why you find yourself in this position, it is one of the most critical decisions you’ll make as your business grows. Many large 3PLs will promise the world to get your product into their warehouses and begin billing you. Oftentimes, the initial contact you spoke with about your needs doesn’t have their eyes and hands on your day-to-day operations under their roof. In those organizations, sales and operations function independently, with little oversight to ensure that the needs you expressed are being met.

This is where a Boutique 3PL shows its value. The people you spoke with initially are the very same who you’ll be able to call or email for support when needed. Pricing transparency, accountability, and excellent communication are what you can expect from this type of 3PL. They uphold the promises they make and meet or exceed the needs of your business. They can also provide you with constant updates and feedback on your operation. For many of you, the company you’re entrusting a 3PL with fulfilling isn’t just your livelihood; it’s an extension of who you are.

If you want someone to value your operation in the way that you do, you don’t want your product shoved into the corner of a massive warehouse and forgotten about. For the attention to detail and care your products need, a Boutique 3PL is the way to go.
