Their company started back in 2004 when Jim Smith started the company McKenzie Books. At that time, they bought and sold college textbooks for many years. They sold primarily on Amazon and some to wholesalers. During this time, they learned a lot about Amazon, how they operate, the do’s and don’ts, etc. Therefore, in 2016, they made a decision to open the company McKenzie Services with the primary focus being to support other Amazon sellers with their Amazon FBA business. McKenzie Services has been so successful that they no longer buy or sell items as McKenzie Books. Their one and only focus is McKenzie Services and supporting our clients.
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.
