Full 3PL

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

Editor summary

Simpl Fulfillment is a direct-to-consumer 3PL at 3714 Bluestein Drive in East Austin, Texas, run by Simpl Fulfillment LLC (Texas registry, June 2016) and founded by Barrett Shepherd. Ecommerce order fulfillment from its one Austin warehouse is the main business. Its FBA prep line receives cartons, pallets and containers, counts and inspects units, applies FNSKU labels, polybags with suffocation warnings, bubble-wraps, builds multipacks, bundles and kits, rotates dated stock first in, first out, creates the Amazon shipment plan and ships by UPS or freight. The published prep card has a $40 minimum per inbound shipment, covering receiving, basic inspection, boxes, dunnage, the shipment plan and a week of storage. FNSKU labeling is $0.90 per item, polybagging $0.35, bubble wrap $0.60, boxing individual units $0.80, multipacks and bundles $0.25, online arbitrage, retail arbitrage and removals $1.00 per item, and pallet storage $50 a month. It quotes a 1 to 3 day receiving and prep turnaround, and sellers above 2,000 units a month can ask for volume rates. Cautions: DTC fulfillment comes first here; its pricing page says accounts carry a $750 monthly minimum billed as the difference, while the prep page lists only the $40 per-inbound minimum, so prep-only sellers should confirm which applies. The 99.99% accuracy figure is the company's own.
