DTC Fulfillment That Ships the Same Day
We pick, pack, and ship your D2C orders same-day, starting at $7/order — picks, postage, and packaging included. Built for brands doing 50 orders a month and brands doing 5,000.
What is DTC fulfillment?
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) fulfillment is the process of shipping orders from a warehouse directly to your customers — no retailer or distributor in between.
You keep the parts that build your brand: the storefront, the customer relationship, the unboxing, and the order data. You hand off the physical logistics — receiving inventory, storing it, picking and packing each order, and getting it out the door.
A 3PL like Simpl runs the warehouse side so your team stays on product, marketing, and growth. The customer still buys from you, hears from you, and comes back to you; we just make sure the box shows up on time.
How it works
- Receive. You send inventory to our warehouse; we count it in and log it to your account.
- Store. Your products sit in organized, tracked locations, with counts synced to your store.
- Pick & pack. When an order comes in, we pull the right items and pack them for safe transit.
- Ship.The order goes out with UPS, USPS, or FedEx — same day if it’s in by 12pm CT.
What you get
You send us your inventory. We store it, and every order that comes in before 12pm CT ships the same day. Orders after the cutoff ship the next business day.
You don’t manage a warehouse, hire pickers, or negotiate carrier rates. You watch orders go out and inventory stay in sync.
- Same-day pick, pack, and ship on orders in by 12pm CT
- Flat-rate pricing that includes picks, postage, and packaging
- Real-time inventory synced to your store
- A branded returns portal for your customers
- A named account manager who knows your account
Pricing
Starts at $7/order.
That covers three picks, postage, and packaging — not a base rate you add fees onto later. Bigger orders with more items cost a little more; the price per order holds whether you ship 50 a month or 5,000.
There’s a $750/month account minimum, billed pay-the-difference: if a month of order billing lands under $750, you’re charged only the gap. No onboarding fee.
Works with your store
Simpl connects to the tools you already run on. Shopify and Shopify Plus orders flow in automatically, no manual exports, and inventory counts update in real time, so what your store shows is what’s on the shelf. Shipping carriers are UPS, USPS, and FedEx.
Selling on Amazon too? We handle FBA prep and merchant-fulfilled orders alongside your DTC store — see our Amazon fulfillment services.

Returns
Every plan includes a branded returns portal. Your customer starts the return under your brand, not ours. We receive the item, inspect it, and put it back into your available inventory. You see the whole thing.
Orders go out right
Simpl ships at 99.99% order accuracy. When we do get one wrong, we fix it at our cost — return shipping and re-fulfillment, not your bill.
A real person on your account
Every Simpl client gets a dedicated account manager — a real person you reach by email, with same-day answers during business hours. Not a ticket queue. Someone who knows your account by name.
Who Simpl is for
Simpl fits D2C brands shipping 50 to 5,000+ orders a month. If you’re leaving your garage, moving off a 3PL that buried you in fees, or scaling past what you can pack by hand, this is the range we run every day. Comparing your options? See how small business 3PLs stack up.
More than half the brands we onboard are outsourcing fulfillment for the first time. You don’t need to speak warehouse to work with us. We’ll walk you through it. Running a smaller fashion or lifestyle brand? See our boutique 3PL page. Also shipping wholesale? See our B2B fulfillment services.
How it compares
A lot of DTC brands land on the big enterprise 3PLs first and bounce off the pricing. Simpl is built for growing brands, not enterprise accounts.
| Factor | Enterprise 3PLs | Simpl |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | A layered fee stack that's hard to read | Flat $7/order with picks, postage, and packaging in it |
| Ship speed | Varies by facility and plan | Same day on orders in by 12pm CT |
| Onboarding | Weeks, often with a setup fee | Live in 5-7 days, no onboarding fee |
| Scope | Often a single-feature tool you bolt on | Full-service: fulfillment, FBA prep, kitting, subscription, B2B, returns |
| Support | Ticket queue | A named account manager who knows your account |
- Flat-rate, not a fee stack.One price per order with picks, postage, and packaging in it, instead of a quote you can’t read.
- Same-day, on a clock you can plan around. In by 12pm CT, out the same day.
- Onboarding in days.Live in 5–7 days, no onboarding fee.
We’re a full-service D2C 3PL — order fulfillment, FBA prep, kitting, subscription boxes, B2B wholesale, returns, and crowdfunding — not a single-feature tool you bolt onto another provider. See our full ecommerce fulfillment services.
