I’ve been helping a friend manage a growing online business, and we’ve reached the point where handling inventory, packing, and shipping ourselves is becoming difficult. We’ve started exploring 3pl logistics solutions, hoping they can simplify operations and free up more time to focus on growth. At the same time, I’m a little concerned about giving up control over fulfillment and customer orders. For those who have partnered with a 3PL provider, how was the transition, and did it actually improve efficiency, costs, and customer satisfaction in the long run?
