Industry Insights & Resources 🎯

Global shipping lanes are under pressure, bicoastal fulfillment is getting more strategic by the day, and we've got a partner integration that solves a gap most brands don't even know they have.

Welcome to edition #38. Let's dive in!

War, Gas Prices & Your Shipping Costs: What's Actually Happening ⚠️

Brent crude crossed $120/barrel. The Strait of Hormuz — through which a huge share of global shipping passes — has effectively closed to Western-allied vessels. Maersk, CMA CGM, MSC, and Hapag-Lloyd have all suspended operations through the strait.

This isn't just a headline. Fuel surcharges update weekly. Container rates have already jumped 12%. And if your supply chain doesn't even touch the Gulf, you're still paying the global volatility premium through higher carrier base rates.

We broke down the full picture — how the mechanics work, which costs are already hitting invoices, and what a well-matched 3PL can do to buffer your margins right now.

New Guide: The 15 Best Bicoastal 3PLs (2026) 📍

If you're shipping nationwide, single-location fulfillment is costing you — in zones, in speed, and in carrier rates. Bicoastal 3PLs solve that by keeping inventory on both coasts so most orders ship in 1–2 zones instead of 4–6.

We ranked the 15 best based on verified performance across multiple facilities (no pay-to-play). Standouts include Smart Warehousing (multi-vertical, PA/FL/GA + CA/WA/NV), Selery Fulfillment (omnichannel apparel & supplements), Red Stag Fulfillment (big & bulky), and ShipMonk (scaling DTC brands across 4 locations).

Partner Spotlight: Connex Ecommerce 🤝

The integration layer your stack was never built to include.

For Brands You've outgrown out-of-the-box integrations — but a full custom build isn't on the table. Connex offers a powerful middle ground. Its flexible rules engine and deep customization connects your entire workflow — from orders to accounting — without the cost and complexity of custom development.

For 3PLs Your clients' workflows don't fit standard integrations — and you're left filling the gap manually. Connex gives you the flexibility to make it work. Its highly customizable platform adapts to complex fulfillment and data flows — so you can deliver tailored solutions without the time and expense of building from scratch.

AI Shopping Is Here — And Your Warehouse Isn't Ready 🤖

Shopify just made millions of merchants shoppable inside ChatGPT. Stripe launched one-tap checkout inside Facebook ads. Google expanded its Universal Commerce Protocol with real-time inventory and multi-item cart support.

We just wrapped one of the busiest Q1 switching seasons I’ve seen.

It had a familiar pattern.

> Q4 acts as a stress test
> Demand spikes
> Timelines compress
> Communication has to be instant
> Every crack in the 3PL relationship gets exposed
> Something critical breaks, at the worst time
> Brand returns to the drawing board in search of a new 3PL

This song and dance is nothing new, as over 37% of brands go back to look for a new 3PL each year.

But from my point of view, what’s changed in 2026 isn’t that brands are switching.

It’s why.

With increased market transparency alongside the evolution of the 3PL search experience, rates have become commoditized (and to the benefit of brands like you, more competitive than ever).

So cost alone isn’t the trigger it used to be, meaning the “pain” has shifted from the balance sheet primarily to misalignments on the warehouse floor.

With this in mind, I decided to compile my notes from Q1 2026 conversations with brands into the most common talking points. Take a look and see if any of this resonates with your experience:

Switching Due to A Growth Mismatch

• You’ve added B2B, EDI, or TikTok Shop, and your 3PL is struggling to keep up with the new requirements. The reality is that a 3PL which works for DTC may not always be able to handle your expansion channels.

• The 3PL that was a great fit for small, lightweight SKUs may not work when you start shipping bulkier products. A shift in SKU profile can mean overpaying on carrier rates and storage.

• You’ve outgrown a single warehouse and need a multi-node network to hit 2-day delivery targets.

Operational Friction

• Support tickets taking days, not hours. Customer has a missing order. Brand reaches out to their 3PL. Crickets for 48 hours. That silence costs you reviews, repeat customers, and a good nights sleep. And when you’re moving fast, a gap like this becomes a dealbreaker.

• For apparel or footwear, "good enough" returns doesn't cut it. Brands are moving to 3PLs that treat reverse logistics as a core competency.

• Many 3PLs have minimum order volume expectations per pallet. If your ratio falls below that threshold, you may get deprioritized or shown the door. (We've seen this happen more than once with 3PLs clearing space for higher-volume clients.)

Eroding Trust

• Billing that doesn’t add up. Brands are opening invoices they can't explain due to line items that weren't in the contract and fees that quietly appeared six months in. By the time it becomes a real dispute, the trust is already gone.

• Although less common, we do see situations where brands have been with the same partner for years, volume has exploded but the contracts haven’t been recalibrated as your volume grew. If this is the case, an RFP is usually the fastest way to pressure-test your rates, and it's hard to look at your current partner the same when they come back with pricing 30% cheaper than before, only because they are afraid of losing your business.

Although the pain points varied from one company to the next, nearly every brand I’ve spoken with in 2026 seems to be communicating the same underlying message…

I wish we’d addressed this sooner instead of letting it fester.

And yes, I know your decision to kick off a 3PL search rarely happens overnight. It’s usually months of rationalizing small frustrations until peak season makes them impossible to ignore.

So if you've been justifying repetitive friction with your fulfillment provider, now's a good time to at least see what else is out there.

If your situation has evolved since we last spoke, I'd love to take another look with you.

And if you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to reach out to me personally at gavin@fulfill.com as well.

Gavin

Our team at Fulfill has been creating timely resources for brands navigating today's supply chain challenges—from milestone celebrations to evolving technology.

Let's dive in!

Smart Warehousing Celebrates 25 Years of Food & Beverage Innovation 🎉

2026 marks a major milestone: Smart Warehousing's 25th anniversary in logistics. From their start to now operating 12 strategic markets nationwide with proprietary tech, they've become a food & beverage powerhouse.

What sets them apart: In-house SWIMS platform (no third-party limitations), cold chain + ambient storage across 35 locations, and deep expertise in frozen foods, beverages, pet supplies, health/wellness & CPG.

Real results: Táche (first pistachio milk in the U.S.) achieved 300% growth after switching—with 60% reduction in manual tasks, 90% faster inbound processing & 99% order accuracy.

"When speaking with other brands, it feels like we're the outlier because we genuinely have good things to say about our warehousing partner." — Mike Van Dorn, VP of Operations at Táche

Our 2026 Top 100 3PL Rankings Are Live 🏆

We've officially released our Top 100 Best 3PL Companies in the United States for 2026—the most comprehensive rankings we've ever published.

After evaluating 2,700+ providers & analyzing 12,000+ brand placements, we ranked the top 3PLs based on service quality, technology, scalability, customer satisfaction & industry reputation. From Selery Fulfillment (backed by Mark Cuban) to tech-forward operators like ShipCalm & Smart Warehousing, the 2026 list showcases providers setting new standards.

How AI Agents Are Reshaping Fulfillment 🤖

Google's Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is creating a new data layer where AI agents query fulfillment capabilities directly. McKinsey estimates the agentic commerce opportunity at $3-5 trillion by 2030.

Here's what's changing: When AI agents handle transactions autonomously, ranking factors shift from marketing metrics to operational ones. Can your 3PL guarantee delivery by Thursday (not "3-5 business days")? Do they expose real-time inventory via API?

The new reality: Your brand's AI visibility now depends on your 3PL's data infrastructure. Providers that expose precise, real-time fulfillment data through protocols like UCP will give their brand partners a massive competitive advantage.

We're already fielding questions from brands asking about "AI-ready" fulfillment partners. This is happening faster than most realize.

• DIY Prep: Lowest cost but requires space, supplies, and labor

• Third-Party Prep Services: Professional centers typically 50-70% less expensive than Amazon's rates

• Full-Service 3PLs: Comprehensive solution combining storage, prep, and multi-channel fulfillment

Timeline: You have 12 months to transition. Start researching prep partners now to avoid the rush.

Let's dive in!

The Trade World Just Shifted Overnight

President Trump's Executive Order ending the de minimis exemption has eliminated the $800 duty-free threshold for all commercial shipments entering the U.S.

Starting August 29, 2025—that's less than 30 days away—every package will face full import duties and fees.

What this means for your brand:

• Overseas competitors just lost their biggest cost advantage

• Domestic fulfillment became dramatically more competitive overnight

• Brands shipping direct from overseas have less than 2 weeks to pivot

Your 30-Day Action Plan:

• Week 1: Calculate current de minimis dependency and impact

• Week 2: Connect with U.S.-based 3PLs for quotes and capacity

• Week 3: Begin transitioning inventory to domestic fulfillment

• Week 4: Launch with competitive advantages (faster shipping, easier returns)

This isn't just a policy change—it's a fundamental reshuffling of e-commerce economics. The brands that move quickly will capture the opportunity.

Stop Choosing Local 3PLs (It's Costing You)

Most e-commerce brands search for "3PL near me"—and it's costing them thousands annually.

Our new analysis reveals that 80% of businesses prioritizing proximity pay 15-30% more in total fulfillment costs. Expanding your search radius by just 100-200 miles can save $20,000+ annually.

Modern fulfillment reality: Your customers don't care where orders are fulfilled—they care about receiving them quickly and affordably. Strategic 3PL locations often deliver better service at lower costs than local options.

Customer Success: When Expert Guidance Matters

Brian Ludviksen, Director of Operations at Purity Coffee, shares their journey finding the right 3PL partner through Fulfill.com. As a health-focused direct-to-consumer coffee brand, they had never worked with a 3PL before.

"We didn't know what we didn't know, and Dan knew quite a lot," Brian explains. After initially choosing a different partner than Dan's first recommendation, Purity Coffee ended up switching to Dan's original choice six months later—with amazing results.

"We're now a few months into that relationship and we're really happy. Our customer service levels are back where we want them. Our fulfillment rates are amazing. A great part of that was with Dan and a lot of his expertise."
