Running an eCommerce store can come with its fair share of challenges, especially as you grow.  

Every purchase comes with overseeing inventory, packing items, monitoring deliveries, handling returns, and communicating with customers. Done right, it fuels growth. Done poorly, it turns into a logistical mess.

That’s where 3PL logistics comes in.

 

So, What Is 3PL?

3PL stands for Third-Party Logistics In plain terms, it means outsourcing the hands-on parts of your operation (things like warehousing, picking, packing, shipping, and returns) to a team that does this every single day.

So you get to focus on growing your brand, whilst we handle the hard parts that come after someone clicks “Buy Now.”

 

What Can a 3PL Partner Actually Do for You?

 

1. Take Fulfilment Off Your Plate (So You Can Focus on Growth)

If you’re packing boxes at midnight, it’s probably time for a change. A good 3PL handles your storage, stock management, and shipping  so you don’t have to.

We store your products in our secure warehouse. Orders come in. We pick, pack, and ship, same day if needed. Done. Simple.

2. Give Your Customers the Speed They Expect

Today’s shoppers don’t want to wait. Two-day shipping is the baseline, or you could be risking losing a potential customer.

With InterSend’s 3PL logistics, you get access to premium carrier rates, optimised warehousing, and a fulfilment network built for speed and accuracy, helping you meet rising customer expectations efficiently.

3. Scale With Ease

Third-party logistics can offer valuable when scaling when your eCommerce business. Whether you’re shipping 100 orders a week or 10,000, our logistics and fulfilment adapts with your demand.

Big promo? New product launch? Seasonal rush? We’re built to handle it.

4. Cut Costs in Places You Didn’t Expect

Doing everything in-house? It can be expensive. Not just in money, but time.

Outsourcing to a 3PL like InterSend means:

• Lower shipping costs (we ship at scale, so you get better rates)
• No warehouse overheads
• Fewer fulfilment errors
• More time back in your day

Less chaos. More growth

 

5. Make Returns Less of a Nightmare

Returns aren’t the enemy. Poor returns handling is.

We streamline the whole process, from prepaid labels to restocking and customer updates. So you don’t get bogged down, and your customers stay happy.

 

6. Stay in Control

Outsourcing does not mean giving up control.

At InterSend, we integrate directly with your own eCommerce platforms, giving you real-time updates on inventory, order status, and performance, so you’ll always know what’s happening and where things stand.
