Why Hustl is the Perfect Stepping Stone Before Switching to a 3PL

by Anna Mead

Starting Small, Scaling Smart

When you’re a growing eCommerce business, managing your orders and shipping from home can feel like a full-time job. Naturally, outsourcing fulfilment to a 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) company seems like the ultimate solution. But, before you take that leap, have you considered the hidden costs and challenges?

3PLs are fantastic for established businesses with high order volumes. However, for smaller operations or businesses just starting out, they can quickly eat into your margins. That’s where Hustl comes in—a tool designed to streamline your order management and shipping process without breaking the bank.

Here’s why Hustl is the perfect fit, even if you’re planning to move to a 3PL:

  • Instant Impact
    Hustl connects all your sales channels—Etsy, Shopify, eBay, Amazon and more—into one clean dashboard. No more switching between tabs or copying and pasting customer details into courier websites. This time-saving automation lets you focus on growing your business instead of bogging down in admin tasks.

  • Lower Fulfilment Costs
    Fulfilment fees can take a significant chunk out of your profits, especially when you’re still scaling. Hustl enables you to pick the best courier and print shipping labels without any additional costs, helping you maintain healthier margins while you build momentum.

  • Flexibility to Transition
    If outsourcing is your ultimate goal, Hustl is still your best short-term ally. While you search for the right 3PL partner, you can rely on Hustl to simplify shipping and scale your operations. This ensures that when you’re ready to make the switch, you’re doing so with a stronger financial and operational foundation.
