Common Seller Situations
The problems sellers bring to a 3PL, and what changes once someone else handles the packing.
The packing table was the bottleneck.
A live seller finishes a big show with hundreds of small orders, each with a different mix of items. With a 3PL, the show stock is already in the warehouse, and the team picks, bundles and ships every order.
One stock, many marketplaces.
A seller on Amazon, Walmart and eBay was splitting stock between rooms and overselling by accident. With one shared stock in one warehouse, every channel ships from the same place.
The garage was full.
A growing brand ran out of space for inventory and spent evenings packing. Moving the stock to a warehouse freed the room and the time to focus on sales.
The holiday rush was coming.
Orders double every Q4 and the packing table does not. Sending stock early and sharing the expected volume lets the warehouse plan for the spike.
Every box had to match.
A subscription brand needed the same box built the same way every cycle. The warehouse kits to the box list and checks each one before it is sealed.
Packing was eating the day.
A seller spent more hours packing than selling. After handing off packing and shipping, those hours went to products, marketing and customers.
