    Inventory of The Airhook

    It was so f*ing easy. ShipMonk was the only part of the supply chain that I was able to go with Plan A. Everything else was much more difficult and we we’re always coming up with an alternative to our original plan.

      The Alternatives

      Traditional 3PL

      In addition to an automated order fulfillment system that aids in scrupulous picking & packing, we have the bandwidth to fulfill up to 10,000 orders daily. We don’t believe in charging for unused services, so, with ShipMonk, you’ll only pay for what you use. That is, if you ship one product in one month, you’ll only pay the pick & pack fee for that one product. It’s that simple.

      Modern 4PL

      A more recent player in the fulfillment space is the “Modern 4PL.” These companies are characterized by their tech-focused models and expansive networks of mixed 1st and 3rd-party fulfillment centers. They offer their customers elite technological capabilities and the ability to scale rapidly. However, the scalability provided by the “Modern 4PLs” large networks of affiliated warehouses is often outweighed by their lack of quality control, the inconsistency of service, and lack of accountability when something inevitably goes wrong due to “Modern 4PLs” not having complete control over their warehouses.

      Small Regional 3PL/Supplier Fulfillment

      Another common fulfillment option is to utilize smaller, more regional 3PLs or fulfillment by brand suppliers. These options commonly offer customization capabilities and high-touch support due to smaller footprints and fewer clients. Still, their smaller size means that scaling your business with them can be painful as they typically cannot offer deep discounts on shipping rates; additionally, their limited networks mean that you’re often stuck with a single location from which to fulfill your orders.
