Fire your 3PL. Get matched to one that ships better — fast.
3PL Bridge is a matchmaker, not a 3PL. We pull pre-vetted, pre-qualified 3PLs from our partner network matched to your volume, SKUs, and category. Free to brands. Always.
The brands who let us pick their 3PL.
“We needed an immediate 3PL solution at a time when the market was very congested. 3PL Bridge not only found us a solution, but the rates were very competitive. Their transparency is their best asset.”
CEO, Tzumi
“The experience was exceptional. Communication was frequent and responses were quick when information was requested. I would absolutely recommend 3PL Bridge to our partners and will be utilizing them for our future operational needs.”
Regional Manager, DHL
“The team at 3PL Bridge go above and beyond to help their clients. Communication is a top priority for them and they are extremely quick to keep you up to date. I am extremely satisfied with the service I was provided.”
Operations Specialist, Vita
“3PL Bridge is perfect for our business needs. Within a month, we signed a contract with our 3PL operations. I will be referring your services to all of my fellow business owners.”
Founder, Mod+Jo
The same three things every burned founder tells us.
“ShipBob quoted me one rate, billed me 40% higher, and blamed it on ‘dim weight recalculation.’ I couldn’t even find the line item.”
— Reddit, r/ecommerce, March 2025“Our 3PL lost 2% of our inventory last cycle. No credit. No acknowledgment. Just a new invoice.”
— Trustpilot, February 2025“I have six SKUs on allocation because my 3PL can’t keep a minimum stock report accurate. This is basic stuff.”
— Reddit, r/ecommerceThe pattern is always the same: opaque pricing, inventory shrink, no SLA enforcement. You didn’t pick a bad 3PL — you picked one in a market structured against brands. That’s fixable.
Here’s what switching through 3PL Bridge actually means.
Pre-vetted partner network
Every 3PL in our network is screened on pick accuracy, volume tier, peak-season performance, integrations, and category specialization. If they can’t prove it, they’re not in.
Brand-side matching
We don’t work for the 3PLs. We pick based on fit — not based on who’s paying us the most.
Contract support
SLA drafting, peak-season language, minimum-volume floors. We sit on your side of the table. Final redlines stay with your attorney.
Brand Success Manager
A dedicated point of contact post-signature — invoice audits, SLA reviews, monthly scorecards. Named in your contract.
How a sports nutrition brand found their 3PL — without the trial-and-error.
Cael’s Cookies, a sport-focused cookie brand with a prominent founder. New to market. Two non-negotiables: capacity to fulfill heavy launch volume on day one, and a track record of on-time delivery to protect the founder’s public reputation.
Dennis Wilkinson, our Head of Matching, personally recommended a 3PL he had worked with directly. Vetted on three things — proven scale capability, modern platform, and a reputation for timeliness and organization.
Several months into the partnership, the brand is operating smoothly and confidently.
“If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn’t hesitate to work with 3PL Bridge. The expertise, the attention we got, and the price are all unmatched.”
— Tanner Mauk, COO, Cael’s CookiesEvery brand we match gets all of this.
- Pre-vetted 3PL shortlist — hand-picked from our partner network, matched to your volume, SKUs, and category.
- Line-by-line quote review — on every 3PL in your shortlist.
- Contract support — SLA drafting, peak-season language, on-call clause review alongside your attorney.
- Brand Success Manager — first point of contact post-signature for invoice audits, SLA reviews, and quarterly scorecards.
- 3PL pricing benchmark guide — the internal benchmark sheet we use ourselves.
- Commission paid by the 3PL. No cost to you. Ever. Your pricing from the 3PL doesn’t change because of us.
