GEODIS pairs enterprise-scale contract logistics (Fortune 500 clients, 150M+ Americas orders a year, 99.5% two-day US reach) with an unusually merchant-friendly DTC tier called eLogistics — no order minimums, monthly contract, 30-day exit. Pricing is custom-quote on both tiers, and the public merchant review trail is thin. Best for brands ready for enterprise capabilities; less ideal if you want transparent published rates or a tight-knit account team.
Best fit
Established DTC brands ready for enterprise scale, or omnichannel shippers wanting global freight plus US last-mile.
Not ideal for
Brands wanting transparent published rates, a tight-knit account team, or a thick public merchant review trail.
Deliverr
Deliverr Review 2026
Deliverr is no longer an independent 3PL. Shopify acquired it for $2.1 billion in May 2022 and sold the operation to Flexport in May 2023; the website now redirects to flexport.com. The closest current options for merchants who once chose Deliverr are Flexport eCommerce Fulfillment (now $5,000/month minimum), ShipBob, ShipMonk, and Red Stag Fulfillment.
Best fit
Anyone searching for Deliverr today — ShipBob, ShipMonk, or Flexport are the closest active replacements.
Not ideal for
Anyone hoping the original Deliverr is still available — the brand and its old per-order pricing are gone.
Flowspace
Flowspace Review 2026
Flowspace is a software-led 3PL orchestration platform — single contract for fulfillment across 150+ partner warehouses in the US and Canada. The pitch: omnichannel commerce (DTC + retail/EDI + B2B + marketplaces) from a single inventory pool, powered by an AI-driven WMS/OMS stack that consolidated after the June 2023 RetailOps acquisition. Best for mid-market omnichannel brands; not a fit for early-stage merchants wanting published flat-rate pricing.
Best fit
Mid-market omnichannel brands needing DTC + retail + B2B fulfillment unified by software across a US/Canada partner network.
Not ideal for
Early-stage DTC startups wanting published pricing or brands needing owned-warehouse consistency or UK/EU FCs.
Fulfillment.com
Fulfillment.com Review 2026
Fulfillment.com is a veteran-owned global 3PL founded in 2011, operating eight owned fulfillment centers across the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia. In January 2026, D&H Distributing acquired the company into its SCALE 3PL division — adding capital, automation roadmap, and US-distribution scale while founder/GM Bob Bilbrough remains in place. Best for mid-volume DTC brands shipping 200-5,000+ orders per month who need owned international fulfillment under one contract.
Best fit
Mid-volume DTC brands shipping 200-5,000+ orders/month who need owned international fulfillment under one vendor.
Not ideal for
Sub-200/month startups, cold-chain pharma, hazmat-heavy, or merchants needing fully published pricing and a polished mobile app.
LVK Logistics
LVK Logistics Review 2026
LVK Logistics is the apparel-focused 3PL spun off from ShipHero in August 2024. Maggie Barnett (former ShipHero COO) leads it; the operation runs on the ShipHero WMS underneath but as a separate company with its own customer base. Seven owned fulfillment centers across the US and Canada. Reported ~$70M revenue 2024, $80M target for 2025. Best for mid-market DTC apparel brands shipping 500+ orders/month who want a dedicated account team and modern tech.
Best fit
Mid-market DTC apparel and CPG brands on Shopify shipping 500+ orders/month who want dedicated account management and ShipHero-grade tech.
Not ideal for
Sub-500-order brands, sellers needing EU/UK/APAC fulfillment, or merchants requiring fully published transparent pricing.
ShipHero
ShipHero Review 2026
ShipHero is no longer an outsourced 3PL. In August 2024 it spun off its fulfillment business as LVK Logistics, an apparel-focused 3PL led by former ShipHero COO Maggie Barnett. ShipHero today is a SaaS warehouse management system led by founder Aaron Rubin. Merchants looking for outsourced fulfillment should evaluate LVK directly or alternatives like ShipBob, ShipNetwork, and Red Stag.
Best fit
Brands self-fulfilling with ShipHero's WMS, or 3PLs running their own fulfillment on the 3PL WMS plan.
Not ideal for
Merchants looking for outsourced 3PL fulfillment — that business is now LVK Logistics.
ShipNetwork
ShipNetwork Review 2026
ShipNetwork is the rebranded Rakuten Super Logistics, now founder/operator-owned by Devin Johnson, who also owns sister company FirstMile (the last-mile carrier rebranded as KNCT and integrated into ShipNetwork's offering). The pitch: 10 owned US fulfillment centers + integrated last-mile + 100% accuracy guarantee. Best for US-focused DTC/B2C brands shipping 250+ orders/month who want vertically integrated fulfillment-plus-shipping. Pricing is custom-quote with no public rate card.
Best fit
US-focused DTC/B2C brands shipping 250+ orders/month who want owned fulfillment + integrated last-mile carrier under one operator.
Not ideal for
Sub-250/month startups, brands needing UK/EU/AU fulfillment, or merchants requiring fully published transparent pricing.
Easyship is shipping software first and a fulfillment provider second. The SaaS platform aggregates 550+ couriers and automates duties and taxes for cross-border orders, while pick-and-pack is handled through partner operators like CIRRO and UFL rather than Easyship-owned warehouses. Merchants looking to replace a U.S. 3PL should read it differently than merchants trying to fix international shipping economics.
Best fit
Cross-border DTC brands whose main pain is courier rates and duties automation, not warehouse ops.
Not ideal for
U.S.-only DTC brands looking for a ShipBob-style 3PL with owned warehouses and single-contract SLAs.
Shipfusion
Shipfusion Review
Shipfusion is a mid-volume, regulated-CPG specialist running four SQF-certified warehouses with dedicated on-site account managers, which is why accuracy (4.6/5) and customer service (4.6/5) are its strongest dimensions. It's a strong fit for ingestible-CPG brands shipping 1,000-plus orders a month on Shopify, and a weak fit for early-stage brands or those whose primary need is national multi-node coverage.
Best fit
Mid-volume regulated-CPG brands shipping 1,000+ orders a month that want accuracy and hands-on account management.
Not ideal for
Early-stage brands under 1,000 orders a month or DTC brands whose main need is broad national multi-node coverage.
Amazon FBA
Amazon FBA Review 2026
FBA is the default fulfillment choice for Amazon-first sellers because Prime speed and badge eligibility are hard to replicate elsewhere. The 2026 fee changes, including a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge from April 17, make careful cost modeling more important than ever. Brands that need handling control, branded unboxing, or a unified cross-channel operator usually outgrow FBA and move to a 3PL.
Best fit
Amazon-first sellers who need Prime speed and marketplace badge advantages.
Not ideal for
Brand-building DTC operators who need custom packaging or handling control.
ShipBob runs one of the strongest technology platforms in ecommerce fulfillment, paired with broad integrations and a distributed network that compresses shipping zones for geographically spread brands. The tradeoffs are quote-based pricing that rarely matches initial estimates and a hybrid footprint where 40+ SFN partner 3PLs operate alongside ShipBob-owned Innovation Centers, which introduces real variance in the day-to-day merchant experience.
Best fit
Growth-stage DTC brands on Shopify with 500-50,000 orders/month that want a software-first 3PL and multi-node US reach.
Not ideal for
Very small merchants, oversized or regulated SKUs, or founders who need transparent rates or fully owned facilities.
ShipMonk
ShipMonk Review 2026
ShipMonk is a tech-forward, well-capitalized 3PL built for mid-market DTC brands that need distributed inventory, a strong software layer, and specialty lanes like subscription boxes, crowdfunding, and apparel returns. The tradeoffs sit in the contract: custom-quote pricing, dense invoices, and offboarding timelines worth vetting before signing.
Best fit
Growth-stage DTC brands needing software maturity and multi-node reach with international capability.
Not ideal for
Very low-volume brands or merchants wanting simple flat-rate pricing.
Red Stag Fulfillment
Red Stag Fulfillment Review
Red Stag is a high-accountability 3PL purpose-built for heavy, bulky, and high-value goods, run from two large US facilities in Sweetwater, TN and Salt Lake City, UT. They publish service guarantees most generalists won't put in writing, but the model isn't built for apparel, footwear, or commodity DTC brands.
Best fit
Heavy, bulky, or high-value brands where shipping accuracy and zero shrinkage carry real P&L weight.
Not ideal for
Apparel, footwear, or commodity DTC brands where accuracy and damage avoidance don't drive the buying decision.
Stord pairs a proprietary tech stack (WMS, OMS, TMS) with a large fulfillment network for mid-market and enterprise brands running complex omnichannel operations. It's a premium option, with platform fees starting around $30K/year, but the integrated software and 99% two-day U.S. coverage justify the cost for brands that have outgrown basic 3PLs. Not a fit if you're shipping under a few thousand orders a month or want transparent, self-serve pricing.
Best fit
High-volume omnichannel brands that need integrated fulfillment software and supply chain visibility.
Not ideal for
Low-volume startups or brands that want simple, transparent per-order pricing.
Cold Chain 3PL
Cold Chain 3PL Review 2026
Cold Chain 3PL is a small, owner-operated cold chain fulfillment provider based in Wheeling, IL with facilities on both coasts. It stands out for unusually low minimums in the cold chain space: 100 parcels per month and a $129 monthly fee, making it accessible to early-stage perishable brands. Certifications are strong (FDA, HACCP, SQF, USDA, Non-GMO), but the company is young, the public review record is thin, and pricing transparency has been flagged as a concern.
Best fit
Early-stage perishable and frozen brands doing 100–5,000 monthly orders that need certified cold chain fulfillment without high minimums.
Not ideal for
High-volume brands above 10,000 monthly orders or merchants that need advanced WMS features and deep analytics.
Bergen Logistics
Bergen Logistics Review 2026
Bergen Logistics is a fashion and lifestyle-focused 3PL with 18 facilities across 10 countries, deep expertise in apparel and beauty handling, and bonded warehouse capabilities. It's a strong fit for established brands with complex omnichannel or international distribution needs, but not built for early-stage DTC merchants who want fast onboarding and public pricing.
Best fit
Established fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands with complex omnichannel or international distribution needs.
Not ideal for
Early-stage DTC brands with low order volume that need fast, self-serve onboarding and transparent pricing.
Buske Logistics
Buske Logistics Review
Buske Logistics is a privately owned, enterprise-focused 3PL with 40 warehouse locations across the U.S. and Canada. Its strengths are large-scale contract warehousing, retail compliance, and value-added services like kitting and display builds. Ecommerce fulfillment is a growing but secondary capability. Best fit for mid-market and enterprise brands managing multi-channel operations across DTC and retail. Not the right choice for smaller DTC brands that want self-serve onboarding, a real-time dashboard, and plug-and-play integrations.
Best fit
Mid-market and enterprise brands that need multi-channel fulfillment across retail and DTC.
Not ideal for
Smaller DTC-only brands that want self-serve onboarding, real-time dashboards, and published pricing.
