When it comes to subscription box fulfillment or crowdfunding orders, we set up an assembly line to kit “batches” of orders. A batch is a unique set of orders that have exactly the same combination of items in them.In order for the assembly line to be effective, there needs to be at least 50 orders in each batch. If not, there is a $15 batching fee to compensate for the lack of orders in each batch.
Our in-house customer service team provides immediate 1-on-1 dedicated client support. You can be rest assured you won’t have to deal with call centers or rotating customer service emails.
We have a monthly maintenance fee that covers premium personal account management and one software connection. This is separate from any storage fees.
A special project is a non-standard task that can still include everything from kitting & assembly to labeling or inventory reconciliation. All special projects should be submitted to your customer service rep, so they can define the scope and provide a custom quote for the project prior to execution.

They also handle transportation management, freight forwarding, and returns processing to streamline supply chain operations. Some 3PLs provide value-added services like kitting, labeling, and customized packaging to enhance product distribution.
