The “Logical Pallet Trap” is a deceptive billing practice where 3PLs charge for every SKU as a separate pallet position, even when multiple SKUs occupy a single physical pallet. This creates “Ghost Space” fees that can inflate storage costs by 500% or more, severely eroding profit margins for e-commerce and B2B sellers. This article explains how the trap works, why traditional 3PLs use it, and how FBMFulfillment’s physical-footprint billing model protects sellers. Learn how to audit your 3pl fulfillment prep and choose b2b order fulfillment services that prioritize your bottom line.
