What is Shipping & Logistics Services?
Most ecommerce brands overpay for shipping. They're locked into a single carrier, eating DIM weight surcharges, and missing opportunities to optimize. Our logistics services change that. We ship millions of packages annually across 20+ carriers, leveraging that volume for rates small and mid-size brands could never access alone. Our Transportation Management System (TMS) rate-shops every shipment in real-time, selecting the optimal carrier based on your priorities: fastest transit, lowest cost, or best balance of both. Combined with our strategic warehouse network (Memphis and Reno provide 2-day ground to 98% of the US), you get enterprise logistics without enterprise complexity.
At American 3PL, we've refined this process over years of serving hundreds of brands. Our combination of strategic warehouse locations, advanced technology, and experienced team means you get enterprise-grade fulfillment without enterprise complexity.

Intelligent Rate Shopping
Our TMS automatically compares rates across carriers in real-time, selecting the optimal service for each shipment based on speed, cost, destination, and package characteristics.

Contact Sales for Enterprise PricingFrequently Asked Questions
Which carriers do you work with?
We maintain active accounts with USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, OnTrac, LSO, Spee-Dee, and 15+ regional carriers. We're also integrated with new entrants like Veho and Amazon's AMZL where advantageous. This diversity means you always get competitive rates and redundancy during peak season.
How much can I save on shipping?
Most brands switching to our logistics services see 20-35% reduction in per-package costs. Savings come from negotiated rates, DIM weight optimization, intelligent carton selection, and zone reduction from our strategic warehouse locations.
Do you handle international shipping?
Yes. We manage international shipments to 200+ countries, including all customs documentation, harmonized codes, and commercial invoices. For high-volume international sellers, we also offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) programs.
What happens if a package is lost or damaged?
We file claims on your behalf and manage the entire resolution process. Our damage rate is under 0.1%, and when issues occur, we act fast—most claims are filed within 24 hours of the reported problem.
Can I use my own carrier accounts?
Absolutely. If you have negotiated rates you want to preserve, we can ship using your accounts. We support account injection for all major carriers. Many clients use a hybrid approach: their accounts for certain shipments, our rates for others.
