What Is The 3pl Logistics

"RSL works collaboratively with its clients to assess their fulfillment and shipping needs and leverage RSL's facility and carrier network in the most effective manner possible to meet consumer demand." Manzione said. "RSL's newest product is Xparcel Expedited, a ground-breaking, cost-effective shipping solution that provides 2-5 day transit times with lower costs, allowing small to mid-size eCommerce retailers to compete with larger brands."

Xparcel Priority joins RSL current delivery options include the company's Xparcel Expedited and Xparcel Ground services. Xparcel Priority will mean that RSL customers have yet another alternative to ensure lower shipping costs and expedited service.

A leader in the 3PL industry, RSL currently offers cost-saving order fulfillment, including pick/pack and ship, kitting, returns, and freight services. In today's competitive eCommerce business vertical, shipping can add significant costs to doing business. That's why RSL's Xparcel Priority is designed to offer eCommerce retailers a method of both lowering their shipping costs—and increasing the speed—of delivering products to customers.

With consumer complaints about lack of quality customer service at all-time highs, retailers should focus on enhancing the in-store experience, rather than using sales associates to pick, pack and ship.

Fulfillment Services: Whether you're a new ecommerce business looking to outsource fulfillment or you've outgrown your current warehousing capacity, a third-party fulfillment service can help you reach your goals. A fulfillment service is a third-party provider that handles the pick and pack, storage, and shipping of your ecommerce orders.

But you may be overlooking something just as important — logistics. How online retailers manage their fulfillment and shipping has a direct impact on both your customer satisfaction and operating costs. Online consumers have become increasingly demanding when it comes to their online purchases and expectations around delivery.

The lesson for online retailers looking to overcome these challenges is to not assume transit times and shipping costs “are what they are.” The factors that most directly influence these things are the location(s) of your fulfillment centers and the carrier options you provide to customers.
