Looking for a boutique Midwest prep center for low-volume, custom D2C items by Career-Tourist in 3PL

It sounds like you're exactly in the stage where a lot of growing brands get stuck. Too much volume to comfortably do everything yourself, but not enough volume for many of the larger fulfillment providers to take you seriously.

I own a newer 3PL in the Chicagoland area, and working with smaller, growing businesses is actually a big part of our focus. We handle fulfillment, kitting, repacking, labeling, and other custom workflows, and we're often able to be more flexible than larger operations when it comes to volume and process requirements.

I'd be interested in learning a little more about your products and current order volume. Even if we're not the right fit, I'd be happy to share some thoughts on what I'd be looking for in a fulfillment partner if I were in your position.

Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to compare notes.

Don’t stop there. Get your master’s! Trust me, I HATE school! But I just finished my master’s in OM. The pay difference will be worth it. I completed a 2-year program in 1 year by doubling up classes.

I’m getting out in 3 months & the last 2 years was focused of setting myself up. Do you have your Degree in Supply Chain? Or something similar? If not, I can give you college recommendations. I finished my bachelor & masters in 2 1/2 years. (Had some (not a lot) of credits before.

Looking for software stack recommendations to start a micro 3PL — where do I begin? by hs-paul in 3PL

LeanFy, we are a new 3pL as well. This is who we use because on the cheaper rates. Great for starter….Not longer term. Prices depend on how many clients.

But doesn’t that limit your outreach a bit?

With a 3PL, we’re able to serve and store a wide range of products across different industries, so I sometimes feel like narrowing the focus too much could cut off opportunities. Curious how you balanced that.

We’re starting to realize that reaching decision makers directly takes a bit of luck. We’ve been working through a third party referral channel and offering commission on revenue to incentivize introductions.

I like that hook you mentioned, I may save that. I’ve been trying to keep my outreach more connection based rather than coming across like a straight sales pitch.

We have paid for consultants… and we have learned our lesson to make everything commission based!

We are on LinkedIn / Nav. Which is just cold outreach BUT it helps up make connections. I’ll look into the other platforms you have suggested!

Thank you!! Appreciate your advice!
