Exciting Announcements & Updates

We've Launched The Soapbox 3PL Service, And Early Access Users Get 3PL Credit!

If you’re not familiar with what a 3PL does, click here to learn more from our Soapbox Weekly post.

So, what sets Soapbox 3PL apart from the rest? Here’s what we bring to the table:

• Get the benefits and scale of a large company’s distribution capabilities and network.
• Send your inventory to our two distribution centers, and we’ll take care of every aspect of your e-commerce order fulfillment.
• Continue using the Soapbox platform to manage your products and storefronts, track and sync your inventory, and check on order statuses.
• Have the full confidence that every order will be fulfilled at the lowest cost to you. This is because all of your orders will be processed using our automated box recommendation and shipped using the Soapbox negotiated carrier rates.
• Even have the opportunity to have your products listed with Amazon Seller-Fulfilled Prime!
• And yes, you heard us right the first time. As a THANK YOU for your continued support, all active Early Access users will receive a credit towards their 3PL fees! However, due to holiday sales demand, our space may be limited, so please email us at 3PL@soap-bx.com for more information and to secure your 3PL slot!
