"I pour a lot of love and care into my product, and unfortunately, my 3PL didn’t match that same level of commitment. What excites me about moving to Saltbox is having more direct involvement with my product. It’s such a relief to have that personal touch and ensure everything is handled with the care it deserves!”

Aside from getting help with shipping and receiving our customer orders, Saltbox is simply a great place to come to work every day as a small business."

Frequently asked questions
We’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions to help you understand how Saltbox can support your business.
Absolutely! Unlike traditional 3PLs, where you hand over control of your inventory and fulfillment, Saltbox gives you hands-on access to your products. You can manage, organize, and fulfill orders directly from your space, ensuring you’re always in the driver’s seat of your business.
Not at all. While many 3PLs require strict minimum monthly orders or storage volumes, Saltbox is designed to grow with your business. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling up, our flexible membership options ensure you only pay for the space and resources you need—without intimidating restrictions.
Traditional 3PLs often come with a maze of fees—pick and pack fees, receiving fees, storage fees, and more. At Saltbox, our pricing is straightforward and transparent. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, with no hidden costs, making it easier to manage your budget and plan for growth.
Yes! Saltbox offers the flexibility to scale up or down based on your business needs. If your inventory fluctuates, you won’t face the same frustrations as with rigid 3PL contracts. You can adjust your space quickly and easily, giving you the freedom to adapt without the hassle.
Saltbox is more than just a warehouse. In addition to flexible storage, we provide private offices, meeting rooms, photo studios, and more. Traditional 3PLs focus solely on logistics, but Saltbox offers a full suite of amenities to support every aspect of your business—from operations to marketing.
