Should I use a 3PL for ecommerce fulfillment?
Using a third‑party logistics provider (3PL) can speed growth for US ecommerce sellers, but it isn’t always the right move. It makes sense when order volume, storage needs, or shipping complexity outpace what you can handle in‑house, yet it adds cost and reduces direct control. Before deciding, weigh scale, cash flow, product type and service expectations.
