Frequently asked questions
What is the best 3PL alternative for a DFW brand that sells to retailers and DTC customers?
Saltbox Dallas, Carrollton is the best 3PL alternative for a brand that packs its own wholesale and DTC orders, because one suite can handle parcel orders and outbound pallets.
The loading docks take freight in and out, and S.O.S. (Saltbox Operations Support) can wrap and stage outbound pallets at $45/hour.
Conference rooms in the same building give you somewhere to meet buyers. Brands whose retailers require EDI will find it at Western 3PL Services.
What is the best 3PL alternative for a brand that shoots its own product content?
For brands that shoot their own product photos, Saltbox Dallas, Carrollton is the best option, since every membership includes a content studio.
New stock can go from the dock to the studio on the day it arrives.
Private offices from $520/month put the creative team in the building too.
How should a Carrollton brand handle overflow inventory before the holidays?
Saltbox handles holiday overflow best, through Flex Storage or a suite upgrade.
Flex Storage costs $10 per pallet per day, which suits a few pallets for a short stretch.
For bigger or longer overflow, a larger suite costs less: an Extra Small suite holds 10 more pallets than a Starter for $210 more a month, the price of 21 pallet-days in Flex Storage.

Our team runs pick and pack in your suite from $3 per pick, following SOPs built around your brand.
You can check picks per hour and error rate in the Saltbox App from wherever you are.
Which provider suits a Carrollton brand shipping freight into Canada or Mexico?
3PL Links is the best option for cross-border freight from Carrollton.
The company runs FTL and LTL across the Canadian border and has a facility in San Luis Potosí for Mexico programs.
Saltbox members ship parcels with major carriers each day. Cross-border truckload programs need a freight-focused provider like 3PL Links.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The parallel-run method lets you migrate inventory and orders to a new provider while your current 3PL continues to fulfill. The key is sequencing the move by SKU, starting with slow-movers, and setting clear rules for which provider handles which orders during the overlap.
Request a fully itemized invoice and add up every fee that touches a single order: pick fee, pack fee, materials, carrier rate, and any applicable surcharges. Divide that total by your order count for the period. Don't use your quoted rate as the baseline. Use the actual invoice.
Co-warehousing differs from a traditional 3PL in that it gives small businesses direct access to their inventory, flexible terms, and on-site resources.
Traditional 3PLs give you access to shared fulfillment infrastructure on their terms. Saltbox is a co-warehousing model, which means members get private warehouse suites they control, an on-site team that's physically present, and access to Parsel, Saltbox's shipping platform partner, for discounted shipping and real-time tracking.
The model is built for founders who want the support of a fulfillment partner without giving up visibility and control. Read more here about how Saltbox compares to traditional third-party logistics providers.
Most 3PL transitions take between 30 and 90 days, depending on your order volume, SKU complexity, and contract notice requirements. A 60-day timeline using the parallel-run method is the most common approach for mid-volume operators.
