Full 3PL

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

Editor summary

Thrive 3PL is a Houston fulfillment company operating from 3800 Brittmoore Road, running D2C pick and pack, B2B and retail distribution, returns management, kitting and warehousing, with Amazon FBA and Walmart prep as one of its service lines. The prep page is specific about the work: FNSKU labeling with barcode scan verification before a shipment leaves, poly bagging with suffocation warning labels and bag-thickness compliance, multi-pack bundling, carton configuration with box content labels, per-unit inspection, and FBA shipment plan management. Standard prep turnaround is 2 to 3 business days from receipt, with rush available, and the facility takes full containers and break-bulk freight through the Port of Houston. Founder Eric Lobdell is named on the site and confirmed on LinkedIn. Pricing is quote-based and built around order volume and product profile, with onboarding stated at $200 to $500 and no long-term contract. Cautions: the only email the site publishes, sales@thrive3pl.com, sits in a form-error message rather than on the contact page, so most buyers will reach the phone line or the form first. Its location page headlines 250,000 square feet, its partner page describes that as two Houston facilities, and its own blog puts Brittmoore itself at 76,000 square feet.
