Description

Your 3PL might be charging you 20-30% more than necessary, and most founders don't realize it until they see Shopify's rates beating their "negotiated" contracts.


In this episode, I sit down with Keyan from Iron Margin, a supply chain expert who launched 8 fulfillment centers globally in one year. He breaks down exactly how brands generating $3-20M can claw back 10% in logistics costs without sacrificing customer experience—and why last-mile shipping is your biggest untapped savings opportunity.


What you'll learn:

→ How to spot predatory 3PL contracts (and why the best 3PL had ZERO contract terms)

→ The exact metrics to evaluate when comparing 3PL rates

→ Why it's easier to save a dollar on shipping than manufacturing

→ Red flags that mean you should switch 3PLs immediately

→ The insider process for visiting warehouses and asking the right questions


If you're a founder or operator at a DTC brand spending $10K+ monthly on fulfillment and shipping, this episode can save you thousands each month.
