Value-added warehouse services are additional services beyond basic storage that third-party logistics (3PL) providers offer to enhance and maximize efficiency for e-commerce businesses. Some of the most common value-added services include:
Return Management: Processing customer returns, inspecting items for damage or defects, and determining whether to refund, exchange, or discard the return. This helps ensure a smooth returns experience for customers and reduces the burden on e-commerce businesses.
Kitting: Grouping individual items together into a single unit or "kit" for shipping. This is useful when selling products that have multiple components. The 3PL provider can assemble all components into a kit, allowing you to ship the entire kit to customers in one package.
Pick and Pack: Picking specific items from inventory to fulfill customer orders and packing those items for shipping. 3PLs have the resources and processes in place to quickly and accurately pick and pack high volumes of orders. This allows e-commerce businesses to scale fulfillment operations and focus on growth.
Polybagging: Applying protective plastic bags, also known as polybags, around products before shipping to safeguard items from damage, moisture or contamination during transit. Polybagging is important for e-commerce businesses to prevent returns due to damage and ensure the best customer experience.
By utilizing value-added warehouse services, e-commerce businesses can maximize operational efficiency, reduce costs, ensure high-quality fulfillment, and provide the best customer experience. Partnering with a 3PL that offers these services allows e-commerce businesses to focus on growth while relying on the expertise of their logistics partner.
