3PL Basics

A 3PL handles storage, order fulfilment and shipping on your behalf, usually charging for the space and services you use. Most also offer extras such as kitting, returns processing and marketplace integrations. These guides explain what 3PLs do, the services they offer and how outsourcing compares with doing it yourself, so you can decide whether a 3PL suits your business.
