Switching from Self-Fulfillment to a 3PL

How We Help Brands Move From Self-Fulfillment to a 3PL—Without Missing a Beat

From your garage to our warehouse—made easy.

Making the move from self-fulfilling orders to using a 3PL can feel risky. You’ve built your brand by doing everything yourself—packing with care, writing thank-you notes, managing every detail. Now you're growing, and fulfillment is becoming a bottleneck. But handing it off shouldn’t mean losing control.

At Handled, we specialize in helping brands make this transition smoothly—with no disruption to your customers, your standards, or your momentum.

⚠️ Why Brands Hesitate to Switch:

• Worry about losing control or quality
• Fear of errors, delays, or missed orders during the handoff
• Concern that they’re too small for a 3PL to take seriously
• Frustration that “starter 3PLs” don’t offer room to scale
• Confusing setup processes or unclear pricing
• Minimums that lock you out—or lock you in

🛠️ What You Gain When You Let Go of the Tape Gun

• More time to focus on product and growth
• A professional, consistent customer experience
• Access to advanced workflows and same-day speed
• A partner who supports your brand as it evolves—not just now, but long-term

✅ How Handled Makes It Easy:

• No order minimums. No startup penalties.
  We work with brands shipping 10 orders a week—or 10,000. We grow with you, not gate you.
• No account minimums, period.
  We believe great brands start small. You shouldn’t need volume to deserve great service.
• Clear onboarding and setup support.
  We guide you through intake, SKU mapping, inventory setup, and integrating your selling channels.
• Rules that match your workflows.
  From handwritten notes to rush tags to custom inserts, we help you set the logic—then make sure our warehouse team follows it.
• Staged rollout and soft launch options.
  Start small, test, and scale when you're ready. We’ll make sure it’s smooth every step of the way.

🔄 Built to Support the Brand You’re Becoming

A lot of 3PLs either:

• Won’t take you until you hit high volume
• Or only offer bare-bones services that fall apart when you start shipping B2B or working with retailers

Handled supports both DTC and retail fulfillment, from branded packaging to palletized wholesale. So when you're ready to scale into Amazon, Costco, Faire, boutiques, or big box, we’re already built for it.
