What is a 3PL? And when do you need one? 3PL stands for Third Party Logistics. A 3PL is a warehouse between you and your customer that manages and ships out your inventory. And no, you don’t need to be a huge brand to use a 3PL. Deciding if you need a 3PL is based on a few factors.
Depending on the number of SKUs you’re shipping and the size of your team, a 3PL could be a great fit for any number of brands. Watch to get a checklist of what to consider before picking a 3PL and knowing what charges you can expect. A 3PL is just what you need to take your business to the next level.

A fourth party logistics provider selects the 3PL providers from the market which are most suitable for the logistical issues of his customer.

Cool video
Great, does it mean that the manufacture don't have inhouse warehouse. whatever they manufacture that will be sent to 3PL ware house and they maintain. Thank you.
Can you please tell what are the daily activities of a 3PL and the best practices a 3pl should follow.
how pricing analyst works in 3pl?
Is supply chain and logistics a good career for a mechanical engineer?
Which do you think I should choose for my career growth(3pl,4pl or 5pl)?
Suppose I want to have custom packages/boxes created. If I use a 3PL, will they ship my orders in my custom packages? If so, how do you arrange that with them?
love you
Good
I hope my subject supply chain management is easy to understand
Love from India 💕

Awesome
So would amazon be a 3pl?
Hi! I'm a university student who is doing the retail management couse assignment. my topic for the assignment is online shopping shipment and i found your video very helpful. Since my assignment is to create a video presentation, is it okay if i put about 30 secs of your video where you explain about the 3PL in my video? It is totally for a personal use and will not create a profit out of it.
Hi there! You can certainly use this in your presentation, please site our channel in your sources: th-cam.com/users/LumiHQ Good luck on your assignment!
Great video, this is how I explain it to my students:
Subject: Read: Clarification on 3PL versus 4PL lecture today (this is a huge job market for ISMers)
Students:
I think getting an internship at Coyote Logistics (CL) would be an
excellent opportunity for ISM students in general. Just keep in mind
that non asset based 3PLs such as CL, CH Robinson, TQL, etc., recruit across all majors,
especially general management, general marketing, and sales marketing. I
would prefer that students work for companies that pay a premium for
your ISM degree. However, 3PLs provide services in an industry that you are majoring in, so to that
extent it is a great match for you. Also, some of you have strong sales
skills and/or want to develop those skills moving forward in your SCM
careers (which makes sense given that you will be interacting with
suppliers a lot). A major trend in SCM is reverse marketing and supply
base deproliferation. That means buying organizations are trying to
shift a larger and larger amount of volume to a fewer and fewer number
of suppliers (that way they get huge price discounts from economies of
scale, make sense? - this is supply base deproliferation - reduce the
number of suppliers that you do business with). Sometimes, you have to
go to your current suppliers and convince them to take on more business
(that is called reverse marketing). The goal is to do a lot of
outsourcing with a few key strategic suppliers. For example, in
reality, Toyota only has around 12 suppliers.
It would be great work experience and would help you also get your foot in the door for
another internship or even a fulltime job at OEMS such as GM and John
Deere if you got some work experience at a 3PL or 4PL (all work experience is good work experience). Again, a 4PL is a company that can do all logistics for a company and a 3PL
can actually only perform some logistics. For example, if you can only
handle warehousing, but cannot handle inbound and outbound, then you are
a 3PL (a truck driver with a trailer is a 3PL, but he/she is an asset based 3PL if they own the truck and trailer). 3PLS are evolving into 4PLs, which means if a company goes to them, then
they (the 4PL) can perform all logistics services for a customer (i.e.,
inbound, outbound, warehousing, etc. - one stop shopping for all things
related to movement of goods). Coyote Logistics has actually evolved
into a non asset based "4PL" because they can do everything logistics
related for customers. However, because they are non asset based, they
do not own anything themselves. They just outsource everything to 3PLS
and manage the process for their customers. Why would their customers
not do this themselves? Because CL can do it better, faster, and
cheaper and these customers can then focus on their core business (which
usually has nothing to do with logistics). Finally, JB Hunt would be
considered an asset based 4PL because they can perform all logistics
services for companies such as Whirlpool, but JB Hunt actually owns the
stuff it takes to move things around. For example, JB Hunt has trucks,
trailers, drivers, containers, railway capacity, distribution hubs,
etc. However, JB charges a premium for customized services and is not
as price competitive as non asset based 4PLs. Whirlpool is very OK with
that since JB Hunt offers exceptional quality service and JB Hunt still
does it better, faster, and cheaper than Whirlpool. I hope this helps
and makes sense.
Do you feel like you know the subtle difference between a 3PL and 4PL? Would you want to work for a 3PL or 4PL?

Thank u!
Hi, Any 3PL Services provider in Germany or France?
0:00 😂😂
Excellent vid compared to the one i just tried to watch.
I'm wondering, how to find a 3PL that works with custom repackaging? In case of a customer return, I'd like to repack it in fresh tissue paper, use my gummed paper tape etc. Are there 3PLs that would do that or am I day dreaming?
Ok, I guess the answer is Shipbob, covered in your other video: th-cam.com/video/5AeKY9lTP80/w-d-xo.html ;)
Cute
Can't focus, the tutor is cute lol
