Fulfillment Partner/3PL Vendor List
Seamlessly outsource your order fulfillment and unlock the potential of your e-commerce store. A fulfillment partner (also sometimes called a 3PL or 3rd Party Logistics Provider) will store your inventory, monitor your e-commerce store, and "pick and pack" orders as they come in. They do the work of packing, labeling, and shipping your products, so that you can spend more time focusing on growing your business! Make your product-based business passive, location-independent and ease your burden without compromising on quality.
Our Fulfillment Partner/3PL Vendor List includes 17 vendors throughout the USA, so you can spend more time focusing on growing your business. (We are working on an international versions - stay tuned!)
We suggest pairing this list with the Fulfillment Center Checklist, which will help you choose the perfect shipping partner for your particular needs.
Are Templates and Checklists editable? Yes, you can edit and customize these resources as needed.
How do you choose the factories that go on your lists? We connect with factories in many different ways including in-person visits, industry contacts, trade shows and more. Suppliers do not pay to be included on our lists. Each list is designed to be an all-in-one resource for manufacturing your product idea. It is important to note that vetting a specific supplier for quality, price, and professionalism is ultimately your responsibility. If you need help narrowing down your supplier choices, the Supplier Vetting Checklist is a helpful resource. You can also use the Pre-Production Checklist to ensure you take the right steps prior to production and protect your investment.
Am I guaranteed to find a factory when I buy a factory list? There is no guarantee you will find a specific factory when you buy our Factory Lists. If you have questions about a particular list, feel free to email hi@makeruniversity.com.
What is different about your Factory Lists compared to other lists that are available? Our lists do not focus on just one country. You will find suppliers from all over the world! We also have a strong focus on small batch manufacturing to serve newer makers. Another main difference is that our lists have many bonus sublists to help you produce your product completely, including design partners, materials and component suppliers, packaging suppliers and more. Read the description of each list to see what is included.
What is different about your templates and checklists compared to others that are available? The difference is that they are thorough!! Each template and checklist contains detailed video instructions for how to complete each step, along with suggested tools and resources to help you execute your workflow. We refer to our resources as "info-rich"... each one is a mini masterclass in whatever area you are focused on!
