A lot of 3PLs are great at picking a single bottle of vitamins, but they fall apart when you ask them to prep 50 master cartons for a boutique chain or a big-box retailer. Wholesale fulfillment is a different beast entirely. It requires different labeling, different palletizing standards, and a lot more attention to detail.

Many 3PLs specialize in either Direct to Consumer fulfillment or Wholesale but not both.  With the right technology and business strategy, being excellent at both is very possible.

In the wholesale fulfillment category, we show you how to leverage your inventory for B2B growth. The beauty of wholesale is the efficiency. While FBA might charge you a “per-unit” fee that multiplies into oblivion, our wholesale model is built for bulk. Whether it’s LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipments or specialized packing lists for national distributors, we handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on closing bigger deals.

Most 3PLs are not designed for early-stage ecommerce sellers. Only an estimated 3% to 5% accept startups because new accounts require resources before they generate predictable volume. FBMFulfillment takes a different approach with minimums waived for 12 months, no onboarding fee, month-to-month terms, competitive shipping rates, optional coaching, strategic Jacksonville operations, world-class technology, and post-pay invoicing. We are startup-friendly but selective because we succeed only when you succeed. Bring a well-thought-out plan and reasonable expectations, and your fulfillment partner can become a launch pad for long-term growth.
