What Is Third Party Logistics?
Your stock. Our warehouse. Happy customers.
Third party logistics – or 3PL logistics – means handing the physical side of selling online to a specialist partner.
As your 3PL, we receive your stock into our warehouse, store it safely, and pick, pack and ship every order the moment it lands in your online store.
We also look after returns, packaging and the little extras – with live visibility of your stock and orders the whole way.
You keep control of your brand, your products and your customers. We take care of the boxes, the couriers and the tape gun.
It’s the third leg that keeps your business balanced – and it’s why we’re called Third Leg. Read our guide: what is 3PL and when should you use it?

Third Party Logistics FAQs
What does a 3PL (third party logistics) company do?
A 3PL takes care of the physical side of selling online for you. That means receiving your stock, storing it, picking and packing each order, shipping it to your customers and processing returns. At Third Leg we do all of this from our Cheltenham warehouse, connected directly to your online store.
What’s the difference between a 3PL and eCommerce fulfilment?
eCommerce fulfilment is the part that gets each order out the door: pick, pack and ship. A 3PL does fulfilment plus everything around it, including warehousing and stock control, returns, value-add services like kitting and promo inserts, and the tech that ties it all together.
How do third party logistics providers charge?
Most 3PLs charge for the work your orders need, typically storage, a pick and pack fee per order, packaging and shipping. Rates depend on your products and order volumes, so we quote to suit your business, with no lock-in contracts. Get a 3PL quote.
Do you connect to my online store?
Yes. We plug straight into Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, eBay and more, so new orders come through to us automatically and your customers get tracking updates without you lifting a finger.
