Takeaways

- When choosing a 3PL, look for one that has experience shipping for brands similar to yours and offers real-time communication and support.
- Transparency and communication are key to maintaining a successful brand-3PL relationship. Provide forecasts, communicate sales events, and share your returns processes to ensure smooth operations.
