@EmmettNaughton Best case scenario - the brands have insurance to make them whole.

Somebody from a 3PL or something, explain what happens to the business that had stuff in those containers!?

After putting up with my siblings and myself for all these years, would say that my mother is very well deserving of this recognition!

@SchroedsBiz Sorry for your loss!

My dad passed away on Tuesday. 7 years ago, cancer took my mom too. Cancer is a nasty, nasty disease that has no sympathy. They both fought so hard, even until their final moments. No words.

@JackRubin1 Depends on weights/zones and what speeds are you looking for.

What should I expect delivery fees to be in the US per order? Not including pick pack.

@woeismeade Ill “humbly” throw myself into the ring

Best 3PLs in the game right now?

@SaulSellsStuff You could even get an SBA loan with 100% financing…

@SaulSellsStuff Building takes a while… if have the cash, would recommend buying. Can always outgrow it, and then lease it to someone else. An asset that will usually keep on giving…

For those operating a 3PL / larger scale ecom business. Have any of you purchased or built your warehouse? I am leasing and need to get a bigger spot again next year. Leasing has value but owning / building sounds interesting. From the looks it would cost $1.2-$1.5m in this area for the size. That’s buying something already built. No idea costs of a build but I figure I should assume a year plus of planning. Part me says I should lease and then buy our next house with enough land to just build a 10,000 sqft building on it. This cuts down future buyers though vs having them separated. Or leasing it out myself. For those who decided one way or the other what’s been your experience?

Well deserved honor for my mother who has impacted the lives of thousands in our community!

@ChadCarleton The brand can file a complaint with Amazon. Also should file a police report and if interstate (which sounds like it is) can also file a report with FBI. If insurance, should also file a claim as they will have the resources to properly chase especially of alot of $$

Incredible client of ours had a *huge* shipment stolen in transit, now being sold on Amazon -- confirmed with lots, packaging, etc. Anyone else have experience clearing this up?

@TMobile ordered a phone on the 11th never received. Been given a run around the last 2 weeks. Charged but never delivered. Tracking shows no movement at all. Blank tracking. No one can cancel, refund or reship. Been a customer for 14+ years.

@RossMackay111 Depends on what you need. We are in Cincinnati, OH. Happy to see if we are the right fit and best 3PL for what you need. Mendel (at) shipfrankly (dot) com

Best 3pl ?

@therahulissar Hey Rahul, we are based in Cincinnati, OH. Happy to see if we would be the right fit to support your growth to 100k and beyond! You can DM me or email me at mendel (at) shipfrankly (dot) com.

Looking for a new 3PL! Please send through any reccs

@johnhickey1970 We are in Cincinnati, pretty central. Happy to see if we are the right fit. Mendel (at) shipfrankly (dot) com.

All right. 3pl. I’m trying to pick a Midwest 3pl We ship about 8k orders a month out of la. So we figure half that from Midwest but we grew 94% this month compared to June of 2024 What should I know about three PL’s folks ?

@seanrmeagher @Reinfish Not sure how I missed this… are you giving customers a side portal for this type of stuff? Is it just for them to keep track or is there something actionable for them/warehouse?

@ByMendel @Reinfish How's this look? How can we make it better?

✅ Launched Monitor inbound stock replenishment PO's and automatically receive an alert if the amount received by your 3PL is different than what you shipped in. ✔️Catch receiving discrepancies instantly ✔️Improve inventory accuracy ✔️Eliminate time checking line items 1-by-1.

@seanrmeagher Following back on this - its a great tool! But someone has to be monitoring it. If you only see it an hour later, and its already in the bottom of a shipping gaylord - what happens then?

✅ Shipping Label Cost Monitor Set a postage threshold for every SKU. When an order ships, the label cost is compared against the SKU threshold and sends an alert if actual exceeds threshold. DTC folks, how else are you monitoring shipping label costs? Would love feedback...

@aaronrubin B’shaa Tovah! Congrats!

Major new release in 10 weeks:

@aaronrubin Sheesh. To be a brand owner now…

321 is back temporarily. New Executive Order allows 321 until such time as it is once again removed — seriously.

@seanrmeagher So if 2+ unique skus would be 2 seperate shipments?

Multiple SKUs meaning more than one of the same SKU, or two+ unique SKUs? If more than one of same SKU: We take the total shipping, divide by the SKU qty ordered (i.e. 2) and compare the avg against threshold If two+ unique SKUs: We process shipments at the line item level so it's easy to handle. If overnight: typically the customer is paying for this. If you look at the screenshot of the email alert, there's a field for "Shipping Proceeds" which accounts for the $$ paid by the customer. We'll back out the shipping proceeds from the label cost and compare the Net Shipping Cost against the threshold set.

@lucawashenko Happy to see if we can assist @ShipFrankly. Pricing is very transparent, invoices are clear, direct communication with the team on the ground. Mendel at shipfrankly dot com
