Full 3PL

General fulfillment operation with a verified FBA prep service. Never ranked and never counted in our prep-specialist stats.

Editor summary

Distribution Management (DM) is a national 3PL headquartered at 5 Research Park Drive in St. Charles, Missouri, that also runs a print-supplies wholesale business. It operates four fulfillment centers: St. Peters, Missouri; Carlisle, Pennsylvania; Dallas, Texas; and Fresno, California. Its main work is high-volume DTC and B2B fulfillment, retail drop-ship and compliance, kitting and bundling, returns, and freight. The FBA line is described on a dedicated page: a space set aside for FBA prep, with labeling, packaging, inspection and bundling, and itemized quotes for prep, packaging, storage and freight; an older Amazon page on the site says bulk FBA inventory can reach most FBA destinations in as little as 1 to 2 days. It also handles FBM orders. Pricing is quote-based. Cautions: the FBA pages never mention FNSKU labels, polybagging, carton labels or shipment plan creation, so confirm the exact prep steps before sending inventory, and ask which of the four centers holds the FBA prep space. The company dates itself to 1972 and its fulfillment arm to 2012; Missouri's registry lists the corporation in good standing under a former name, Allstate Business Machines, which matches that 1972 origin, though we could not read its formation date.
