Austin 3PL: All-Inclusive Flat-Rate Fulfillment with Same-Day Dispatch

Simpl is an all-inclusive flat-rate 3PL in East Austin. We pick, pack, and ship your ecommerce orders the same day for one per-order price that already includes postage and packaging, with a named account manager who answers your email.

Simpl Fulfillment is a boutique third-party logistics (3PL) partner for ecommerce brands shipping out of Austin, Texas. We store your inventory, pick and pack every order, and hand it to the carrier the same day so your customers get fast, reliable delivery and you get your time back. Flat-rate fulfillment bundles the pick, the pack, the postage, and the packaging into one per-order price, with same-day shipping and dedicated account management.

If you are running a Shopify, Amazon, or DTC brand in the Austin area and fulfillment has become the bottleneck, this page covers how our Austin 3PL works, what it costs, and how to move your inventory to us without disrupting sales.

We have run fulfillment out of Austin since 2016. Our warehouse sits on Bluestein Drive in East Austin, a short drive from SH 130 and the airport, so freight comes in and orders go out without fighting downtown traffic. Shipping from here puts your orders in front of Texas customers in a day or two by ground and reaches most of the country within a few days, which keeps your shipping bill down and your delivery promise honest.

Most of the brands we pick and pack for are on Shopify, and a good share of them are working with a 3PL for the first time. If that is you, we will not bury you in logistics jargon. You get a named account manager who learns your brand, answers your email the same day, and tells you straight when something needs a decision. Orders that land before noon Central go out the same business day, scanned and tracked, with inventory counts that update in real time.

Why Austin Ecommerce Brands Choose Simpl

Austin is one of the fastest-growing ecommerce markets in the country, and shipping from Central Texas puts your inventory in a central position with short ground transit times to customers across Texas and much of the country. A local 3PL partner means lower transit times to Texas customers, fewer zone-skipping surcharges, and a team you can actually reach.

• Same-day shipping on orders received before the daily cutoff.
• Dedicated account management. A real person who knows your brand, not a ticket queue.
• Central Texas location for fast, low-cost ground delivery across TX and the South Central US.
• Flat-rate, all-inclusive pricing with postage and packaging built into one per-order number and no hidden pick fees.
• Boutique scale. We onboard a limited number of brands so yours never gets lost.

Here is what those points mean in practice.

Same-day shipping is a real cutoff, not a marketing line. Orders that reach us before noon Central Time ship the same business day. For a customer in Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio, that often means a package on the porch the next day by ground, with no air surcharge.

Dedicated account management means one person owns your account. You email your account manager directly and hear back the same day, usually faster, during business hours. They know your SKUs, your packaging, and the promo you have coming up, so you are not re-explaining your brand to a new rep every time.

Flat-rate pricing keeps your costs predictable. One per-order number covers the pick, the pack, the postage, and the packaging, so what looks like a low rate elsewhere does not balloon once postage and materials are added back. Storage is billed by the space you actually use, whether that is a small bin, a large bin, a shelf, or a pallet. Carrier rates are passed through at cost, so you are not paying a markup on every label. And there is no onboarding fee to get started, so switching to Austin does not come with a setup bill.

Accuracy is measured and backed. We pick and pack at 99.99% accuracy, and on the rare miss we cover the cost to make it right, including return shipping and re-fulfillment. You should not pay for our mistake, so you do not.

Boutique scale is a choice. We onboard a limited number of brands so the ones we take on get real attention. You are a named account, not a row in a queue.

This works best for brands shipping somewhere between 50 and a few thousand orders a month who are tired of fulfillment eating their week. If you are packing orders on your kitchen table at 11pm, or your current 3PL treats you like a ticket number, that is the gap we fill. We will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit, because putting the wrong brand on the floor helps no one.

Same-Day Fulfillment from East Austin

Same-day shipping is the reason most Austin brands move to us. Orders that reach our East Austin warehouse before noon Central ship the same business day, picked, packed, and handed to the carrier with tracking that posts before you log off. There is no air surcharge to hit it; same-day is the standard, not an upgrade. For a customer in Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio, that often means the package lands the next day by ground. Shipping from Bluestein Drive puts your orders a short drive from SH 130 and the airport, so freight moves without fighting downtown traffic. You get a faster delivery promise to keep, lower transit costs across Texas, and inventory counts that update the moment an order ships. Beat the noon cutoff and it goes out today.

A closer look at what we run for Austin brands:

Ecommerce order fulfillment is the core. We connect to Shopify, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Squarespace, pull your orders automatically, and pick, pack, and ship them the same day when they beat the noon cutoff. Inventory syncs in real time, so your store never sells what is not on the shelf. Most Austin brands we run are Shopify-native, and orders that beat the noon Central cutoff leave Bluestein Drive the same day for short ground transit across Texas.

Amazon FBA prep and FBM keep your marketplace business clean. We label, bundle, and box inventory to Amazon's requirements and ship it into FBA, or we fulfill FBM orders straight from Austin to keep your listings Prime-eligible. We also handle Walmart, eBay, Etsy, and TikTok Shop, so a brand selling across channels runs from one inventory pool. We ship FBA inbound from East Austin and fulfill FBM orders locally, so Austin sellers keep listings Prime-eligible without trucking inventory out of state first.

B2B and retail fulfillment runs alongside your DTC orders. We handle EDI, routing-guide compliance, and palletized shipments for wholesale accounts, so a purchase order from a retailer ships to spec while your consumer orders keep moving. Palletized wholesale orders ship from our East Austin dock to Texas retailers and national accounts on the same routing-guide spec.

Subscription box fulfillment covers recurring programs. We kit your boxes, manage the monthly send, and keep component inventory straight so every subscriber gets the right box on time. We kit and stage monthly sends from Austin, so Central Texas subscribers are first out the door each cycle.

Kitting, assembly, and returns round it out. We build bundles and multipacks, assemble retail-ready kits, and run returns through a branded portal your customers use. Returns come back, get inspected, and are restocked or set aside by rules you define, with inventory updated as they land. Returns route back to East Austin, get inspected, and restock fast so your Texas inventory stays sellable.

It all runs on one system. Real-time inventory, automated order routing, and shipping-method selection sit behind every order, and an open API covers anything custom you need to connect.

You see all of it. Your dashboard shows live inventory by SKU, every order and its status, and the tracking that went out to each customer. When stock runs low, you know before you sell out. When a customer asks where their order is, your account manager already has the answer, so you are not piecing it together from a spreadsheet at the end of the week.

Austin 3PL Pricing

Our Austin fulfillment pricing is flat-rate and all-inclusive: one per-order pick-and-pack fee that already covers postage and packaging, storage by the bin, shelf, or pallet, and live carrier rates passed through at cost. No onboarding fees and no surprise accessorials. Plenty of 3PLs advertise a lower per-pick number, but it covers only the pick. Once you add postage, the box, and accessorial charges, the real per-order cost climbs. We put all of it in one number, so the quote you see is the cost you pay. See full details on our pricing page or request a custom Austin quote.

Here is how that adds up for a typical Austin brand. Say you ship 750 orders a month, each with two or three items, average package under two pounds. Your pick-and-pack is one flat per-order fee that already includes the postage and the box or mailer, so there is nothing to add back later. You pay storage for the bins and shelves your inventory actually occupies, and your carrier rates come through at cost based on the live rate for each shipment. There is no onboarding fee and no separate charge for the software or your account manager. You get one predictable per-order number to plan against and a monthly invoice you can actually read.

If your orders are heavier, larger, or need special handling like fragile-item packing or gift notes, we price that into your quote up front so nothing shows up as a surprise later. Send us your monthly volume, your SKU count, and your average package size, and we will put real Austin numbers in front of you.

How Simpl Compares to Other Austin 3PLs

Most Austin and Central Texas 3PLs work from a quote request rather than published rates, so comparing them means collecting proposals and decoding accessorial line items. Simpl is built the other way. Our pricing is flat and all-inclusive: one per-order fee covers the pick, the pack, the postage, and the packaging, with storage billed by the space you use and carrier rates passed through at cost.

Austin 3PLs like Amplifier, Manifest, and Fluffle each set up pricing their own way, often a custom quote that varies with volume, SKU profile, and contract terms, which makes an apples-to-apples comparison harder to run. Watch for headline pick rates that look cheap but bill postage, packaging, and accessorials on top; once those are added back, the per-order cost is often higher than an all-in flat rate. With Simpl you get one per-order number that already includes postage and packaging, plus an invoice you can read.

On speed, we ship same-day from a single East Austin warehouse for orders in before noon Central, so your Texas customers see short ground transit without an enterprise contract to sign. Want the math for your volume? Get an Austin 3PL quote.

Serving Austin and Central Texas

Our team supports ecommerce brands throughout the Austin metro, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, San Marcos, and the greater Central Texas region, as well as online brands nationwide and worldwide that want a Texas shipping node. Whether you are switching from in-house fulfillment or migrating from another 3PL, our onboarding team manages the inventory transfer so you keep shipping throughout the move.

We are an Austin company ourselves, founded here in 2016, so we know the local carrier pickups, the Central Texas lanes, and how to keep freight moving without downtown delays.

Switching a 3PL sounds risky, so we make the move boring. Most brands are live within 5 to 7 days. We start by mapping your SKUs, your integrations, and your shipping rules, then we schedule the inbound so your stock lands here while your current provider is still shipping. New inventory is received and put away within 1 to 3 days of arrival, checked against your packing list and scanned in. We run a handful of live orders with you before we flip the switch, so by the time your store points at Austin, the orders just flow. You keep selling the whole time.
