Vancouver 3PL Services

30 Minutes from the Port of Vancouver.

Our flagship facility sits within 30 minutes of the Port of Vancouver, one of North America's busiest container terminals. Brands importing from Asia can dray directly to us for receiving, quality inspection, and putaway. From there, inventory moves to our US distribution nodes in San Diego and Charlotte for last-mile delivery across the continent. One partner. Complete North American coverage from a single Vancouver hub.

Why Vancouver Is a Strategic Advantage for Your Brand

Vancouver is the closest major North American port to Asia, making it the fastest path from factory floor to warehouse shelf for brands sourcing overseas. By receiving and storing inventory here before US entry, you can defer duties, protect cash flow, and inbound to our American nodes only when demand requires it. That is not just a logistical convenience. It is a competitive advantage most brands do not realize they have until they start using it.

Cross-Border Fulfillment Without the Headaches.

Shipping between Canada and the US is where most 3PLs fall apart. We built our network specifically for it.

Whether you are a Canadian brand expanding into the US or an American brand entering Canada, the cross-border piece is built in from day one.

    Vancouver is our hub, but our San Diego and Charlotte nodes give your brand full North American distribution without stitching together multiple providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Vancouver 3PL and how does it work?

A Vancouver 3PL is a third-party logistics provider based in or near Vancouver that handles warehousing, order fulfillment, and shipping on behalf of your brand. You send your inventory to our facility, we store it, and as orders come in from your sales channels we pick, pack, and ship them to your customers. Our systems integrate directly with platforms like Shopify, Amazon, and WooCommerce so orders flow automatically without manual intervention.

Why is Vancouver a good location for a 3PL warehouse?

Vancouver is the closest major North American port to Asia, which means faster, cheaper inbound logistics for brands sourcing overseas. Our facility sits 30 minutes from the Port of Vancouver, giving you direct drayage access with minimal transit time. Storing inventory in Canada also allows for duty deferral strategies where you only move goods into the US when demand requires it, protecting your cash flow.

Can you ship across Canada and the United States from Vancouver?

Yes. From our Vancouver facility we reach all of Canada within 1 to 2 business days, coast to coast, through our extensive carrier network. For US-bound orders, we route through our distribution nodes in San Diego and Charlotte, covering the western and eastern US within 2 to 4 business days. We also ship globally for brands that need international reach.

Do you handle cross-border shipping between Canada and the US?

Cross-border fulfillment is one of our core strengths. We manage customs documentation, duty calculations, and carrier coordination for shipments moving between Canada and the US daily. Whether you are a Canadian brand expanding south or a US brand entering the Canadian market, the infrastructure and processes are already in place.

What ecommerce platforms do you integrate with?

We have native integrations with Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, TikTok Shop, Walmart, eBay, and over 30 additional platforms. Orders sync automatically, tracking numbers push back to your storefront, and inventory stays accurate across every channel in real time.

Do you have order minimums to get started?

No. We work with brands at every stage, from pre-launch startups testing their first batch of orders to established companies shipping thousands per month. Our team has been through product launches before and we know how to build a fulfillment setup that scales with you from day one.

How quickly can we be up and running?

Most brands are fully onboarded within 2 to 4 weeks. That includes system integration, inventory receiving, and test order runs. If you are migrating from another 3PL, we coordinate the transition so there is zero downtime in your fulfillment.

How does pricing work for your Vancouver 3PL services?

Pricing is based on storage, pick and pack, and shipping volume. No hidden fees, no surprise surcharges. After an initial strategy call, we build a custom rate card based on your SKU profile, order volume, and packaging requirements so you know exactly what you are paying before you commit.
