Red Stag Fulfillment: eFulfillment VS Stamps.com

If you're talking about physical inventory (i.e., housing and inventory management) I use a company called Red Stag. I pay anywhere around $1k-$3k per month (varies on the season bcs of the items I sell). Source: almost 2 years ago

Those middleman benefits are spot on! Also, I think you can have control on stocks if you use a fulfillment center (esp.3PL fulfillment) -- I've been dropshipping for 5 years now, and using a 3PL company helps me manage my stocks. Source: about 2 years ago

It depends on what you're looking for. A 3PL is a good option if you need help with order fulfillment and don't have the staff or resources to do it in-house. Warehouses are a better option if you want more control over your inventory and can handle order fulfillment yourself. I've been using this 3PL service from RedStag and has been huge help cause I don't have the manpower or resources to handle order... Source: about 2 years ago

You should also ask for references from other companies that have worked with the 3PL in the past and ask about the quality services and handling. And most importantly, find a 3PL that is cost-effective/or offers a reasonable cost, and can adapt to your specific needs. Because not all 3PLs are created equal. So be sure to do your research and ask lots of questions before making a decision. Source: about 2 years ago

I'll have approx 10-20 products, would like to have live inventory, and be able to accept CC payments and initiate shipping labels through USPS or stamps.com type of thing. The idea would be that the functionality of the site minimizes the labor of order fulfillment. I have an etsy store for 4 products and like the way that is done. Unfortunately, the products are probably not appropriate for Shopify or Etsy type... Source: 5 months ago

When I opened up the order history in stamps.com I noticed that there were dupliacte labels purchased for the same order number. Then I went over to shipstation to see if the duplicate shipping label were imported and there was no record of it being there at all. So stamps.com would occasionaly purchase 2-4 labels for one order but only send one of the labels through to shipstaion. Since we never log in to... Source: 5 months ago

I have been very happy with my Shipstation rates, but the incredible customer service I get direct with a UPS rep on my other accounts is second to none. I do hate having to constantly reload a stamps.com balance and I would much prefer invoice billing like I get direct with UPS. Source: 7 months ago

The cost to ship the box is $22.80 (and would be cheaper if you use something like stamps.com) and the 3.43 gallons of pumice would cost $1.67, making your total cost to buy and ship $24.47, which is $7.33/gallon. Source: 10 months ago

My USPS Informed Delivery email says I have a package from stamps.com waiting for me. I didn't order anything from stamps.com. Source: 10 months ago
