For years I was
your 3PL.
Now I work
for you.
Up to 60,000 parcels a month. Six years of operations. Thousands of contracts. I know the provider side from the inside — and I tell you what it never reveals willingly.
Most consultants have never seen a 3PL invoice from the inside.
- Where 3PL margins typically sit — and how to read them.
- Which SLA clauses are never met, yet still billed.
- How carrier rates are really negotiated, not by list price.
- Why your pick price is almost always too high — and by how much.
- Which surcharges are questionable, and which are legitimate.
- When a 3PL is heading for capacity trouble, before it knows itself.
- How to read warehouse KPIs correctly, without being misled.
Seven ways
to pay less.
Fixed prices. No day-rate tricks. No commissions from 3PLs.
Fulfillment Audit
I read your 3PL invoice like a 3PL managing director. Audit, contract analysis, carrier check.
3PL Selection
No commissions. With insider scoring. Requirements, shortlist, negotiation, contract.
3PL Migration
Migration without drama. Clean exit, full handover — without losing revenue.
Carrier Negotiation
DHL, DPD, GLS, Post renegotiated from scratch — data analysis, strategy, KAM meetings, signed contract at a fixed price.
Sparring Retainer
An ex-3PL CEO on speed dial. Strategy call, emergency hotline, vendor negotiation on demand.
Contract Quick-Check
You're about to sign the 3PL contract. I read it in 3 working days — clause review with red flags and concrete counter-proposals.
Cross-Border Setup
DACH shop expanding into the EU or overseas. Multi-country warehouse strategy, IOSS setup, local carriers, returns handling.
23 clauses every 3PL contract contains — and that cost you money.
Original wording from real 3PL contracts, translated into what it actually means. Including counter-proposals for your next negotiation. (Guide currently in German.)
— Written by someone who knows these clauses from six years on the provider side — and knows where they are negotiable.
Eleven years on both sides of the table.
First five years of my own eCommerce — Amazon, marketplaces, own online shops. Then six years as a fulfilment managing director: built up with a partner to 60,000 parcels a month, brands from beauty to tech, multi-carrier across the DACH region.
What I learned on both sides over those years: most shops don't know what they are really paying for. Today I help them change that.
