Reliable order fulfillment is a linchpin of customer satisfaction for online sellers. Orders that are late, wrong or damaged can lose you a customer for life. That’s why selecting a reliable 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) provider can be such a pivotal decision. And the search process for the right partner often starts with a 3PL RFP, or Request for Proposal. 3PL RFPs for order fulfillment services require careful planning.

Of course that implies that we (our community) is still largely stuck in the same groove we were a decade ago.
