Further compare fulfillment models

We found that the traditional fulfillment model limits ecommerce brands’ growth. Learn how we approach logistics differently.

Tech-enabled 3PL

ShipBob gives you a cookie cutter. Airhouse writes your recipe.

ShipBob handles a ton of volume, but customers who switch say they value our custom solutions and top-notch customer service.

Local 3PL

Locally owned and operated 3PLs are a great start. Airhouse is there for what comes next.

Mom-and-pop 3PLs keep fulfillment simple and local, but their limited size and capabilities rarely keep up with high-growth ecommerce brands.

Enterprise 3PL

Enterprise 3PLs speak logistics. Airhouse speaks human.

Enterprise-level 3PLs run highly sophisticated, impersonal operations, but our customers feel like the big fish in the pond.

Is it easy to switch to Airhouse?

When you join Airhouse, you’ll be assigned an Account Manager who will help determine the smoothest and most cost-effective way to start fulfilling with us, whether you’re sending inventory for the first time or transitioning from another provider. Through our direct integration with Shopify, you can start shipping with us in as little as one week.

We understand that every company’s fulfillment strategy will look different, and we’re committed to delivering a seamless onboarding experience through hands-on support.

Is Airhouse a 3PL?

Airhouse is an all-in-one fulfillment platform for high-growth direct-to-consumer brands, but we don’t really consider ourselves a 3PL. The old fulfillment model limits growth. The Airhouse Network is agile, flexible, and diverse, meeting our customers’ needs as they grow—from wholesale fulfillment to international expansion—and allowing our team to focus on providing high-quality support.

How much volume can Airhouse support?

Airhouse is here to support the world’s disruptors—whether you’re just getting started or DTC’s newest household name. We work with brands of all shapes and sizes, and our world-class warehouse network can support any order volume.

How can I get help when I need it?

Forget help portals, days-long waits for a reply, and repeatedly explaining your brand and your needs. Every Airhouse customer has a direct line of communication to their dedicated Account Manager, who is there to proactively monitor your operations, provide consultative support, and act as your warehouse ambassador.
