3PL Fulfillment Center, E-Commerce & Warehousing in Mexico

The main advantages of using a 3PL company in México for e-commerce and fulfillment are cost savings, time savings, all while benefiting from U.S. Section 321 De Minimis shipment regulations that allow you to ship goods in and out of México without paying duties. U.S. Section 321 De Minimis shipments are duty-free up to $800 dollars PER customer.

That means each one of your e-commerce customers can order up to $800 dollars of your products that are warehoused in a México fulfillment center without incurring duties to ship them to the United States. Working with a 3PL fulfillment center in México is ideal for any goods that are heavy on duties or tariffs, as well as items like apparel and shoes.

Third party logistics (3PL) companies allow you to outsource operational logistics, warehousing, picking, packing, order fulfillment, shipping, and reverse logistics (returns) to a third-party provider. There are two main types of 3PL services: raw materials warehousing for manufacturers (supply warehouse) and 3PL fulfillment centers dedicated to order fulfillment of finished or consumer goods primarily for online retailers (B2C).

In the case of 3PL logistics for manufacturers, outsourcing supply warehousing to a 3PL services company is a cost saving strategy that frees up production space by reducing warehousing needs at more expensive industrial sites, as well as reducing overhead costs such as staffing. Sometimes this is called third party warehouse management.

Using a full service 3PL company for e-commerce and online retailers, also called 3PL e-commerce fulfillment or a 3PL distribution services, is also used as a cost saving strategy. Third party logistics warehouses are designed to maximize speed and efficiency, minimize or eliminate the need for investing in warehousing space or your own staff, and in many cases can often reduce your shipping costs and delivery times.
