When your order volume has outgrown self-fulfillment and you need professional logistics. ✅
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a 3PL Selection & Fulfillment Strategy. # Context Original working context: Act as a fulfillment strategy consultant. I currently fulfil all orders myself from home/a small warehouse and want to move to a 3PL (third-party logistics provider). Ask me about my current order volume, SKU count, product dimensions and weight, special handling requirements, and target delivery promise. Then: (1) explain the 3PL selection criteria most important for my situation, (2) identify the key questions to ask 3PL providers during evaluation, (3) recommend the type of 3PL that fits my scale (boutique vs. national), and (4) create a transition plan from self-fulfillment to 3PL. 📌 # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

Get quotes from 3 3PLs simultaneously and compare apples to apples — 3PL pricing sheets are notoriously complex and incomparable. Build a standard SKU cost template with your actual dimensions and ask each 3PL to price it identically.
