How It Works

How 3PLCity Fulfillment Works

Simple process. You ship inventory to us, and we fulfill every order from there.

1

Onboard in 24 Hours

We connect your store to ShipHero, the warehouse management system we run on, and set up your packing and shipping rules with you within 24 hours.

2

Ship Inventory to Los Angeles, CA

Send your inventory to our Los Angeles area facility via freight or parcel β€” or direct from your manufacturer to our dock. We coordinate the receiving process and notify you when it's live.

3

Inventory Live in 24 Hours

We receive, count and check your inventory and make it available for orders within 24 hours of arrival. If a delivery doesn't match what was expected, we tell you.

4

DTC Orders Route Automatically

Every DTC order from every channel routes to our fulfillment team the moment it's placed. No manual steps, no CSV uploads. Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop β€” all automatic.

5

Same-Day Pick, Pack & Ship

Orders placed by 2 PM PT ship the same day. Each order is picked, barcode-scanned, packed to your spec and handed to UPS, USPS, FedEx or DHL. Tracking goes back to your store automatically.

6

Your Customer Receives Their Order

Your customer gets their order in a few days β€” delivered by FedEx, UPS, or USPS. We rate-shop every shipment across all carriers or follow your custom mapping rules based on delivery speed, cost, or carrier preference. You stay in control of how every order ships.

Integrations

Every DTC Platform Your Brand Sells On

Connect to 50+ platforms. Orders route to our warehouse automatically, and inventory stays in sync across the channels your brand sells on.

Connections to 50+ platforms run through ShipHero, the warehouse management system we operate on.

How overseas brands enter the US market with a Los Angeles 3PL

Selling to American customers from another country usually starts with international parcels: each order ships from home, clears customs on its own and takes a week or more to arrive. That works for testing. Once US demand is steady, most brands move to a different model: send inventory to the United States in bulk, then ship each order domestically.

3PL City's main warehouse is at 1614 W Rosecrans Ave in Gardena, California, and all 6 of its facilities are in the Los Angeles area. The main warehouse is about 8 miles from the Port of Los Angeles, which, together with the Port of Long Beach, receives a large share of the ocean freight crossing the Pacific. That makes it a practical landing point for brands shipping from Asia and Oceania, and a workable one for brands shipping from Europe or Canada.

  • Inbound: your freight forwarder moves the goods and a licensed US customs broker clears them. The shipment is then delivered to our dock.
  • Receiving: we count the cartons, scan every unit into ShipHero and make the stock available to sell.
  • Orders: US orders from Shopify, Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, Etsy, BigCommerce, Magento 2 or WooCommerce route to us automatically.
  • Outbound: each order is barcode-scanned and shipped with UPS, USPS, FedEx or DHL. Orders received by 2 PM Pacific leave the same business day.

From Gardena, ground delivery typically takes 1-2 business days to the West Coast and 3-5 business days to most of the continental US, with faster air services available.

Market Intelligence

Guides by country and industry

Every market brings its own questions: which port your freight uses, how the time difference affects support, and what your product category needs once it is in a US warehouse. These pages cover the most common combinations we see from overseas brands.

A Los Angeles warehouse is not the right answer for every overseas brand. If most of your US customers are on the East Coast and your freight arrives through an Atlantic port, an eastern warehouse, alone or alongside ours, will reach them faster.

A checklist before your first US shipment

Most delays on a first shipment come from paperwork and labeling, not from the warehouse. Work through these before you book freight:

  • Appoint a licensed US customs broker. 3PL City does not give customs, duty, tax or regulatory advice.
  • Confirm any US product rules for your category, such as labeling for cosmetics, supplements or textiles, with a qualified advisor.
  • Send us a product list with SKUs, barcodes, carton dimensions and units per carton.
  • Label every carton with its SKU and quantity, and keep one SKU per carton where possible.
  • Connect your store or marketplace accounts before the freight lands so orders can ship as soon as stock is received.

Starting rates are published on our pricing page, so you can model US fulfillment costs before you commit.
