Shipping from the US: what the location gives you

For the widest choice of providers in a single metro, look at Dallas-Fort Worth, where 9 of the 10 companies on this page have at least one building. Next come the Los Angeles area with 7, Atlanta and Reno-Sparks with 6 apiece, Phoenix with 5 and Chicago with 4. Salt Lake City and Las Vegas each have 3 of the 10, and Charlotte and Houston each have 2.

The market those buildings serve keeps growing. US online retail sales came to $340.2 billion in the second quarter of 2026, seasonally adjusted, 12.2% more than in the same quarter of 2025, and ecommerce’s share of US retail sales climbed to 17.1%, from 16.3% a year before. For all of 2025, ecommerce sales added up to $1,233.7 billion, up 5.4% from 2024.

Imported goods add to the volume: US goods imports came to $3,438.4 billion in 2025, up $143.2 billion on 2024. The buildings that receive and pick it all are staffed by a warehousing and storage workforce of about 1.84 million a month from May to August 2026, earning $26.74 an hour on average in July 2026, across 23,848 private warehousing and storage establishments in the first quarter of 2026, up from 23,190 in the second quarter of 2025.

What to ask before you sign with a US 3PL

  1. How many of your warehouses would my products sit in when we launch, and when would a second region make sense?
  2. Can you give me the street address of the building you are proposing?
  3. Is there retail compliance staff inside the building that will ship my wholesale orders?
  4. Can one pool of inventory serve my own site, Amazon and my retail accounts?
  5. Which of your sites have temperature-controlled space, and what range do they hold?
  6. What do setup, receiving and any monthly minimum fee add up to before my first order ships?

the US 3PL FAQ

What does a national fulfillment company charge?

Expect a custom quote from each of the 10 companies here; none posts a rate card for storage or pick and pack. Staci Americas says you pay only for what you use, and ShipBob's quotes combine implementation, receiving, storage and an all-in pick, pack and ship fee, with kitting and wholesale orders billed on top.

Do national 3PLs have order minimums?

None of the 10 companies here publishes an order minimum. Ask each for its setup fee and any monthly minimum charge so you can compare quotes on the same terms.

Should I split inventory across several US warehouses?

You can, and some networks here are set up for it: ShipBob splits a brand's stock across US regions and sends each order from the nearest of its 51 US centers. Stord states 99.5% 1 to 2 day ground coverage from its 20+ nodes.

Which fulfillment companies here connect to Shopify?

8 of the 10 name a Shopify integration: Productiv, ShipBob, GEODIS, Smart Warehousing, Barrett Distribution Centers, Stord, Staci Americas and Cart.com.

Which national 3PLs can store hazmat?

Barrett Distribution Centers is the one company of the 10 that names a hazmat storage site: a 60,000 sq ft building in Bridgewater, Massachusetts for class 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 goods. Its Garland, Texas building also stores aerosols and ORMD goods.

Can a national 3PL handle subscription boxes?

6 of the 10 list subscription box fulfillment: Productiv, ShipBob, Saddle Creek, DHL Supply Chain, GEODIS and Stord. Productiv connects to Recharge, Bold, Cratejoy and Subbly.
