EcoShip was founded in 2023 to provide high-service, sustainable fulfillment to DTC brands.
EcoShip is a sustainable order fulfillment 3PL based in Reading, PA. Their family-run business has been serving the public since 2004, when it began as a way for their oldest daughter to earn money for camp.
What started as a side hustle quickly grew into a full-time operation, and they've been working in the e-commerce space ever since.
In 2018, they saw a need for more e-commerce order fulfillment options in the market, and so they started HawkRidge Fulfillment to provide order fulfillment solutions for other businesses.
As their commitment to sustainability grew, they realized that they needed to shift their focus to serving sustainable e-commerce companies. In January 2023, they rebranded to EcoShip to reflect this renewed focus on sustainability.
As a 100% self-funded business, they are dedicated to serving the interests of their customers and our planet. They take pride in their close partnerships with local businesses and their commitment to minimizing their environmental impact.

Third-party logistics (3PL) refers to outsourcing supply chain activities—such as transportation, warehousing, inventory management, and order fulfillment—to an external provider.
By leveraging 3PL services, businesses focus on their core competencies while professionals manage the logistics.
Here’s how 3PL integrates into your supply chain:
Inventory Storage: Products are stored in a 3PL-managed warehouse.
Order Processing: Once an order is placed, the 3PL picks and packs items.
Shipping: The 3PL partners with carriers to ensure prompt delivery.
Returns Management: Customer returns are processed efficiently to maintain satisfaction.
Cost Savings: Eliminates the need to own or lease warehouses.
Scalability: Supports seasonal spikes and growth without infrastructure investment.
Expertise: Access to advanced technology and optimized processes.
