Three structural levers; one lower effective rate with easy to understand pricing.
Three sources of cost
Where the costs come from
Inconsistent processes inflate labor cost
- Without engineered labor standards, a 3PL operates inconsistently
- Those inefficiencies ultimately flow back to the brand as added cost
Shipping costs rise because of insufficient leverage
- Even with a 3PL in place, your carrier pricing is shaped by their network, not yours
- Their scale, mix, and negotiating leverage set the rate
Increased product distance from your customers will impact costs, delivery cycles and could earn you one-star reviews
- Single-warehouse fulfillment forces higher carrier zones for most orders
- Higher zones plus longer transit times lead to poor customer experiences
Our approach

Frequently Asked Questions
How does FDC keep fulfillment cost down?
Three mechanisms: operational discipline (BestOMS, measured KPIs, and standard operating procedures site-to-site; 99.9% correct items shipped, 99.8% of orders ship the same day received), carrier buying power (significant aggregate carrier spend across our client base; we negotiate as one shipper and pass the rate structure through), and a strategic network of fulfillment locations that enables you to stock your product closer to your customers (lower carrier zones; delivered in 1-2 days via ground to 99.97% of US).
Do you charge premium storage for peak season?
No. Storage rates are contracted per client based on volume and SKU profile, not set by a public rate card. There is no Q4 premium and no long-term-storage penalty for slow-moving SKUs. The contracted rate appears on the invoice; both match.
How can I validate Transportation savings?
If you provide a CSV or XLSX of destination zip codes and shipment weights, (export from Shopify, WooCommerce, ShipStation, etc.) then we'll let you know the best carrier mix and fulfillment centers. Just ask.
Will switching cost more than it saves?
We can quantify that for you. Most established brands see net savings within the first quarter once carrier-mix and zone optimization land. If the rate card does not project a net positive over 12 months and your current SLAs (accuracy, same-day ship, transit time, returns handling, customer experience) are being met, the recommendation is to stay where you are. If they're not, cost is only one side of the decision.
