The FulfillYN 3PL Vetting Process
FulfillYN is not a warehouse. We're a 3PL matchmaking service that connects brands with pre-vetted fulfillment providers across North America and globally.
Our vetting process is at the core of what makes us different. We don't just introduce you to a warehouse. We introduce you to the right warehouse—one we've already evaluated for operational fit, pricing integrity, service reliability, and tech compatibility.
What Makes a 3PL "FulfillYN-Vetted"?
Our comprehensive evaluation criteria ensure only the highest quality pre-vetted fulfillment providers join our network
Operational History & Stability
Minimum 3+ years in operation with a consistent, proven track record of fulfillment. We also interview at least three active clients who have been with the provider for 12 months or more to validate service quality and reliability.
Tech Stack Compatibility
Direct integrations with Shopify, Amazon, NetSuite, and other leading platforms. We review their WMS to ensure real-time visibility and system stability.
Pricing Transparency
No bait-and-switch. We require clear rate cards and audit real quotes to catch hidden fees before brands get burned.
Service Level Performance
We check for historical pick/pack accuracy, on-time ship rate, and communication responsiveness.
Insurance & Compliance
Coverage for general liability, freight, and specialized certifications as needed (e.g., FDA, organic, alcohol, etc.).
Geographic Capability
Warehouse locations mapped against client needs to optimize zones and transit times.
Contract Structure
We confirm contract flexibility, reasonable SLAs, and exit provisions to protect the brand if things go south.
