Pick and pack is the part of order fulfillment that happens between an order arriving and a parcel leaving the dock. A warehouse worker or an automated system picks each ordered unit from its storage location, the items are consolidated, checked against the order, packed into a carton or mailer with any inserts, labeled and then sorted for carrier pickup. When a 3PL quotes you a per-order fee, this is the labor and handling that fee covers.
Most 3PLs price it as a base pick fee for the first unit plus a smaller fee for each additional unit in the same order. Packaging (boxes, mailers, void fill, tape) is usually charged separately as a pass-through or a flat per-order materials fee. Postage is billed on top at the 3PL's negotiated carrier rates. This is why two quotes that look similar per order can differ by 30% once packaging, storage minimums and account fees are added in.
The picking method matters more than most brands expect. Discrete picking (one order at a time) is accurate but slow. Batch picking groups many single-item orders together. Zone picking assigns workers to areas of the warehouse. Wave picking releases orders in timed groups aligned to carrier pickups. A 3PL running high single-SKU volume on discrete picking will struggle on peak days, and a 3PL running complex multi-line B2B orders on pure batch picking will make mistakes. Ask which method your orders would run on and why.

Ask for the last 90 days of order accuracy split by single-item and multi-item orders. A 3PL at 99.8% on single-item orders and 98.5% on three-line orders is telling you where the process breaks. Also ask how mis-picks are detected: scan verification at pack is the minimum, weight-check at pack is better.
The order cutoff is the latest time an order can arrive and still ship the same day. Combine it with carrier pickup times and you get your real delivery promise. A 2pm cutoff with UPS and USPS pickups after 5pm is typical. Some 3PLs offer later cutoffs for a fee; confirm whether that applies during peak season.
A 3PL built for 50 SKUs and 5,000 orders a day is a poor fit for 5,000 SKUs and 200 orders a day, and the reverse is also true. Share your SKU count, units per order, order lines per order and monthly volume up front. Good providers will tell you honestly if the profile does not suit their layout.
Confirm who selects carton sizes, whether the WMS suggests the smallest fitting box, and how void fill and branded inserts are charged. Carriers bill on dimensional weight, so a 3PL that habitually over-boxes costs you on every parcel, not just in the packaging line.
Orders should flow from your storefront or ERP into the WMS automatically, with tracking and inventory pushed back. Ask which integrations are native, which run through middleware and what happens when a sync fails overnight. See our Shopify 3PL guide for integration detail.
Ask how the provider staffed last November and December, what accuracy and ship-time looked like in peak week, and whether they cap new client onboarding before Q4. A provider who cannot answer this with numbers has not measured it.
