What is a 3PL and what services do 3PL companies provide?
A 3PL is a third-party logistics provider that stores your stock, picks, packs, ships orders, and handles returns while you keep ownership of the goods. This guide breaks down what a 3PL does, the third-party logistics services to expect, how a 3PL differs from carriers and freight forwarders, and when to switch from in-house fulfilment to a 3PL. Bigblue runs the full loop for 600+ brands, shipping 2M+ orders a month across 10 European warehouses (6 France, 2 Spain, 1 UK, 1 Germany).
