Directory of Warehousing Companies / 3PL Providers

Select the Right Fulfillment Partner

GeekSeller is working with selected 3PL (Third Party Logistics) companies.

We integrate with fulfillment companies allowing sellers to synchronize quantity and orders between those companies and marketplaces.

Retail shipping warehouses

Third-Party Fulfillment companies enable businesses to concentrate on expansion, by offering outsourced logistics services such as dealing with transport, warehousing, distribution, and similar services.

Do I need it?

If you are experiencing issues with inventory management or are considering expansion then outsourcing your logistic services may be the best decision for the long-run profitability of your organization.

What does it cost?

There are several pricing models depending on which provider you work with, in most occasions, the decision is between the following variable rate and fixed rate.

  • Variable-rate – Charged on a per order, item or hourly rate for each distribution function such as shipping/receiving.
  • Fixed-rate – Charged on a per month or quarterly basis regardless of number of above distribution functions performed

A variable-rate may be desirable when a seller does not have definite figures or has low inventory volume needing to be serviced.

Which is best

Not all 3PL companies provide the same services; you will need to shop around and see what services you require for your business. GeekSeller works with several 3PL companies and can put you into contact with them to determine which service would be the best qualified to partner with your organization.
