What is a 3PL provider?
A 3PL is a partner that helps with an e-commerce store’s supply chain. Instead of having owned warehouses and distributing in-house, you have your stock stored in a vendor’s warehouse. Items are automatically shipped from the warehouse to your customer when they’re purchased online.
3PLs receive new inventory from you before shipping it to consumers. Alongside order fulfillment services, they can also handle retail distribution and returns.
