Simpl Fulfillment is an ecommerce 3PL in East Austin, Texas. We store your inventory, pick and pack each order, and hand it to the carrier the same business day when it arrives before 12pm Central. Pricing is flat-rate and starts at $7/order, with postage and packaging included.
We have shipped from Austin since 2016. The warehouse is at 3714 Bluestein Drive in East Austin, near SH 130 and the airport, so inbound freight and outbound orders skip downtown traffic. Every brand gets a named account manager who answers email the same day during business hours.
This page covers how our Austin 3PL works, what it costs, and how to move inventory to us without pausing sales. It is written for founder-led Shopify, Amazon, and DTC brands, including ones leaving self-fulfillment for their first 3PL.
Why Austin Ecommerce Brands Choose Simpl
Shipping from Central Texas puts your inventory a short ground trip from every major Texas metro and within a few days of most of the country. Working with a local 3PL also means a team you can reach.
- Same-day shipping. Orders in before 12pm CT ship the same business day, at no extra charge.
- One account manager. A named person who knows your SKUs, your packaging, and the promo you have coming up. You email them directly and hear back the same day during business hours.
- Flat-rate pricing. One per-order price covers the pick, the pack, postage, and packaging. Storage is billed by the bin, shelf, or pallet you use. No onboarding fee.
- 99.99% pick accuracy. If we get an order wrong, Simpl covers the return shipping and reships it at our cost.
- Boutique scale. We take on a limited number of brands so each one gets real attention.
This works best for founder-led brands that are tired of fulfillment eating the week. If you are packing orders at 11pm, or your current 3PL treats you like a ticket number, that is the gap we fill. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.
Same-Day Fulfillment from East Austin
Orders that reach our East Austin warehouse before 12pm Central ship the same business day, picked, packed, and scanned out with tracking. There is no surcharge for it; same-day is the standard. Inventory counts update the moment an order ships, and customers in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas are a short ground trip away. Selling across the state? See how Simpl ships to Texas customers.

Everything below ships from one Austin warehouse and one inventory pool:
- Ecommerce order fulfillment. We connect Shopify, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Squarespace, pull orders automatically, and ship them the same day when they beat the noon cutoff. Inventory syncs in real time, so your store does not sell what is not on the shelf.
- Amazon FBA prep and FBM. We label, bundle, and box inventory to Amazon's requirements and ship it into FBA, or fulfill FBM orders straight from Austin with Seller Fulfilled Prime support. Walmart, eBay, Etsy, and TikTok Shop orders run from the same inventory.
- B2B and retail fulfillment. EDI, routing-guide compliance, and palletized shipments for wholesale accounts, running alongside your DTC orders.
- Subscription box fulfillment. We kit the boxes, run the monthly send, and keep component inventory straight.
- Kitting, assembly, and returns. Bundles, multipacks, and retail-ready kits. Returns come in through a branded portal, get inspected, and are restocked or set aside by rules you define.

Austin 3PL Pricing
Simpl's Austin pricing starts at $7/order. That covers three picks, postage, and packaging. Storage is billed by the bin, shelf, or pallet your inventory occupies. There is a $750/month minimum, billed pay-the-difference, so you only pay the gap in a month that comes in under it. No onboarding fee, and no separate charge for the software or your account manager.
Heavier packages and special handling, like fragile packing or gift notes, are priced into your quote up front. Many 3PLs advertise a low per-pick rate that excludes postage, the box, and accessorials, so compare the full per-order cost rather than the headline pick fee. See the pricing page or request an Austin quote with your monthly volume, SKU count, and average package size.
How Simpl Compares to Other Austin 3PLs
Most Austin and Central Texas 3PLs price by quote request, so comparing them means collecting proposals and decoding accessorial line items. Simpl's pricing is flat-rate with a published starting rate: $7/order with postage and packaging included, storage by the space you use, and no onboarding fee. Simpl also ships same-day from a single East Austin warehouse for orders in before noon Central. Want the math for your volume? Get an Austin 3PL quote.
An Austin Warehouse vs. a 3PL That Ships into Austin
Many results for an Austin 3PL search are Austin pages from companies whose nearest warehouse is in Dallas or another state. Before you sign with anyone, ask where your inventory will sit and which building your orders ship from.
What a warehouse in Austin changes for you:
- Restocks are a drive across town. Brands near Austin can drop off inventory or pick up stock by appointment instead of booking freight for every restock.
- Texas deliveries start closer. Orders leave from the middle of the state, a short ground trip from San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas–Fort Worth.
According to their own location pages (checked October 2026), ShipBob's and ShipMonk's nearest warehouses are in Dallas–Fort Worth. Red Stag Fulfillment ships from Salt Lake City and Tennessee, and Fulfillrite from Salt Lake City and New Jersey. Buske Logistics serves Austin from Houston, Sugar Land, and Fort Worth. They can all be good 3PLs. They just aren't in Austin.
Simpl runs one warehouse, at 3714 Bluestein Drive, Suite 700, Austin, TX 78721, and every order ships from that building.
Serving Austin and Central Texas
Simpl works with ecommerce brands across the Austin metro, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, and San Marcos, and with brands anywhere that want a Texas shipping node. Local brands can drop off inventory or pick up stock by appointment; email your account manager to set a time.
Switching 3PLs sounds risky, so we make it boring. Most brands are live within 5 to 7 days. We map your SKUs, integrations, and shipping rules, then schedule the inbound so stock lands in Austin while your current provider is still shipping. New inventory is checked against your packing list, scanned in, and put away within 1 to 3 days of arrival. We run a few live orders with you before your store points at Austin. You keep selling the whole time.
