Fulfilment and Warehousing Services Agreement (3PL)
About this document
Outsourcing fulfilment to a 3PL lets an online retailer grow without its own warehouse, but your customers will blame you for late or wrong deliveries. A clear agreement sets measurable service levels, protects your stock and data, and makes sure you can get your stock back if the relationship ends.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
