Fulfillment Cost Benchmarking

Most brands know exactly what their 3PL charges. Far fewer know whether those charges are still competitive. Pricing negotiated three years ago rarely reflects today’s market — and accessorial fees have a way of accumulating quietly.

What Gets Benchmarked

Storage rates, pick-and-pack fees, receiving charges, account management fees, packaging costs, and the full accessorial fee schedule — each measured against current market data for your volume tier, category, and region, not a generic industry average.

How It Runs

Your actual invoices and rate cards are the starting point, not a hypothetical model. The analysis identifies exactly where you’re paying above market, where you’re competitive, and where there’s room to renegotiate versus where a switch would actually be warranted.

What You Get Back

A straight written summary: where you’re competitive, where you’re not, an estimate of the gap, and what we’d do next in your position — whether that’s a renegotiation conversation, a structured RFP, or confirmation that your current deal is sound.
