Speed Commerce

Speed Commerce is a Las Vegas-headquartered 3PL with four US warehouses and a Canadian Section 321 operation, founded in 1982 as Navarre Corporation and acquired by 5G Acquisitions in 2018. The actual differentiator is the triad: in-house fulfillment, 24/7 contact center, and product personalization (embroidery, engraving, kitting) from a single vendor. Pricing is custom-quote with no published rates, reporting is documented as weak by G2 reviewers, and the post-acquisition leadership team has turned over significantly — buyers should weigh these against the unusual capability breadth.

Speed Commerce is the pick that keeps the customs angle of Flexport's bundle in play. Its Surrey, British Columbia facility runs Section 321 cross-border fulfillment, moving Canada-origin inventory into the US duty-free under the $800 de minimis threshold, and it lists freight management as a core specialty. Add an in-house 24/7 contact center and product personalization such as embroidery, engraving, and complex kitting, and it covers ground most fulfillment 3PLs do not. Four warehouses anchored in the central US give two-day ground east of the Rockies. The cautions: pricing is quote-only with no published rates, reporting and segmentation are documented as weak, and the third-party review signal is thin. For mid-market brands that need cross-border or personalization under one roof it is a strong fit, but for full ocean forwarding it is not a substitute.
