Sourcing an alternative 3PL provider can be done successfully, without disruption to existing demand and sales, through identification of existing constraints and thorough planning. The key is to understand the fulfillment activities that are essential for your business. For example, beauty products require storage that leaves the products in the same condition as arrival.
Therefore, the product should remain in the original case/shipper with flaps closed during storage to prevent adulteration. And when seeing your product stored in a DC, it should not contain dust or debris. Damaged to the unit cartons or any other defects should be removed and transferred to a location for disposition.
In addition, changing a 3PL provider should always result in a value change proposition. In other words, benefit both the manufacturer and consumer. The manufacturer should realize improved quality and reduction in transit time, which may further reduce transportation cost.
Successful provider transitions will reduce the need for daily communications with 3PL's, and instead be replaced by weekly scheduled conferences that focus on strategies, promotions, and quality improvements.
The result of successful transitions, consumers should experience improved customer service, rapid deliveries, and an overall pleasant experience when receiving their orders.
Beauty products upon arrival to the consumer, should provide a pleasant experience beginning with the condition of the outer shipper, which should not contain dents or damage. Inside the shipper, the products should be in a neat order, and with absolutely no damage to the unit cartons and products.
Lastly, it's important to have a partner/consultant that represents you, your company, and who's interest are align with value that best for you. We can act and perform to represent your company in 'boots on ground in the U.S.'

The emerging trend in the US is to partner with a provider that can provide 2 Day delivery in 95% of the regions for D2C orders. This can be achieved by partnering with a provider that has sites located somewhere between Utah, Dallas Fort Worth and Chicago; and it’s not necessary for the provider to have multiple fulfillment sites, unless order demand would exceed the fulfillment centers capabilities. Or the intent is to reduce delivery time even further. In addition, having the provider within this region can also reduce transportation cost.
The market has changed since 2021 from providers not accepting new startup clients, due to labor shortages and constrained warehouse space. Since that time, new building has been erected creating an excess in warehouse space. The industry is also seeing providers implement robotic technology, resulting in continuous picking capability and increasing output. And as a result, many providers no longer require long contracts that were barriers for small firms to market entry.
