“Ryan at 3PL Hub was instrumental in our search for the ideal 3PL partner. His data-driven approach to running RFPs provided us with detailed, line-by-line cost modelling, making it easy to compare options and understand the true impact on our P&L. Ryan’s extensive network of 3PL providers ensured that we found a partner who met all of our requirements. Thanks to his expertise, we are on track to save over 25% on our fulfillment costs. We highly recommend 3PL Hub to any brand looking to optimize their logistics.”

Timo Ahlgren

“Ryan at 3PL Hub helped us complete a full 3PL search in just four days, including over a weekend. His communication was clear and efficient throughout. What impressed us most was his honesty, he is truly 3PL-agnostic. He is not paid by 3PL providers. In the end, we chose a 3PL we had met before working with Ryan, and he fully supported that decision. His professionalism and transparency made the process simple and trustworthy.”

Timo AhlgrenFounder & CEO, Wield VR
Scott Zenker

“Partnering with Ryan has been a true game-changer for Verb. His thought leadership, extensive network and practical tools, has enabled us to take a data-driven approach toward our fulfillment footprint and strategy. Most importantly, working with Ryan is fun and you’ll learn a lot along the way, while accomplishing your goals. He helped ensure we made the right 3PL decision, which was to do nothing – staying with our current 3PL!”

Emily Bendell

“Ryan was instrumental in helping us find the right 3PL partner in the U.S. on a very tight timeline. He quickly grasped our needs and demonstrated deep knowledge of the market. His support was invaluable throughout the process—from identifying and evaluating potential partners to negotiating the final agreement. On top of that, he’s a joy to work with. I highly recommend 3PL Hub.”

Emily BendellFounder, Bluebella
Nima Sotoadeh

“Highly recommend working with Ryan. He comes with a ton of experience in the 3PL world and is able to vet 3PLs not just from a price point perspective but also how well a 3PL is set up to service our specific business. We were able to save 15% of our 3PL expenses by moving to a new 3PL. Huge savings that will add a meaningful amount to our gross margin.”

Nima SotoadehFounder, Broya
Winston Chiu

“I first met Ryan ten years ago when he was my sales representative at Canada Post, and we have maintained a close professional relationship ever since. Ryan is someone who consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty. When we were evaluating whether to transition our operations to a new 3PL, Ryan presented us with a custom-built Excel financial model that clearly outlined the logistical and financial benefits. This model was the deciding factor in our move; frankly, not even the competing vendors bidding for our business could put together such a comprehensive case. Over the years, Ryan has become my absolute go-to resource for any logistics questions. His expertise has saved Charmed Aroma considerable headaches and significant capital by streamlining our processes. He responds to emails and calls at all hours and is genuinely invested in the growth of our business. He represents the essence of a true business partnership. If there is a complex problem he doesn’t have an immediate answer for, he has a knack for navigating the industry to find the right solution in a timely manner—which is vital for us, as eCommerce fulfillment and shipping are our lifeblood. Ryan gives 3PL Hub the image of a sophisticated, ‘white-glove’ organization that prioritizes precision and speed.”

“Ryan Bennett at 3PL Hub made the process of finding the right warehouse incredibly smooth and efficient. He’s thorough, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable, guiding us through every step with clarity, expertise, and a good sense of humor. On top of that, his kindness and professionalism made him a true pleasure to work with. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a trusted partner in logistics.”

Zach FriedHead of Brand & Co-Founder, Craighill
Dan Carnat

“Working with Ryan at 3PL Hub has been incredible. 3PL Hub found 3PLs that could match our incumbent’s rates, while also facilitating the sale of our incumbent 3PL as part of the RFP process. Fiera now ships from two US facilities, improving our speed to consumers and lowering our costs. We’d recommend Ryan and 3PL Hub to any brands looking for a thoughtful logistics advisor.”

Dan CarnatCo-Founder & CEO, Fiera
Mark Greaves

“3PL Hub went above and beyond, conducting thoughtful, back-channel interviews with past and present employees and clients of our new Canadian 3PL partner. Their diligence and insights helped us make a confident decision that delivered both organizational alignment and significant cost savings for our business in Canada.”

Mark GreavesCEO, Jumpflex
Nadia Vega-Sharrar

“Ryan at 3PL Hub has been a wealth of information when it comes to distribution services and guidance. Our company is expanding our distribution into Canada & Ryan quickly understood our needs and requirements and suggested the best fits for our own review. He has provided feedback on services and costs to ensure we are selecting the best partner for us in service and price. He provides unbiased information and is eager to help. I would use and recommend 3PL Hub for any future distribution needs.”

Ali Kaminetsky

“Ryan’s expertise has been nothing short of transformative for Modern Picnic. From the start, with his deep industry knowledge and strategic approach he guided us through every step of a challenging transition with clarity and confidence and brought structure and focus to the 3PL search. Ryan didn’t just evaluate options on just cost—he meticulously vetted each 3PL for how well they could align with our unique business needs. His attention to detail and dedication to finding the perfect fit have been game-changers, allowing us to not only save money but also streamline our operations. Beyond the financial impact, Ryan has been a true partner, making the entire process smooth, transparent, and enjoyable. We can’t recommend him highly enough to any brand serious about optimizing their logistics for both performance and cost savings.”

“Working with Ryan was an extremely valuable experience - he advised us effectively on both strategic and operational matters when searching for a new 3PL partner. Ultimately, we were able to reduce logistics costs by 20% and improve time to ship for end customers. He’s the king of double wins.”

Robert Vincent

“Ryan at 3PL Hub has been a great thought partner and resource as we have looked to evaluate both our 3PL footprint as well as our last mile delivery partners. He’s extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the different players both in Canada as well as the United States, which is half the battle. I would recommend working with 3PL Hub if you want to take a holistic approach, both quantitative and qualitative, to setting up your 3PL and ecommerce delivery partners to improve your bottom line.”

Robert VincentVP of Operations, Partake Brewing
Derek Schaefer

“Ryan at 3PL Hub has significantly helped us level-up by guiding us through the move to a new fulfillment partner. He has this knack for making things clear & he has been essential to us as our consumers push for better & more cost-efficient logistics. We’ve managed to cut our DTC shipment spend by $3 on average since teaming up with him.”

Derek SchaeferCo-Founder & COO, Sleepgram
Nick Ress

“Partnering with Ryan has been instrumental for both “The Skinny Confidential” & “Woo More Play,” during the transition to a new 3PL for both brands. His practical guidance helped us reduce costs & enhance service quality. His expertise ensured a smooth migration, positioning us for growth. Working with him has been both productive & enjoyable. We anticipate further achievements for both brands.”

Nick RessDirector of Operations, The Skinny Confidential
Ben Corkery

“Ryan is awesome. We love him. Working with him helped us leapfrog a whole bunch of potential bad decisions around shipping and fulfillment and ended up saving us big dollars on rates. He coached us though the whole rate negotiation process and then jumped back in to help us through disruptions like the Canada Post strike. Ryan is super knowledgeable. He’s been there and done that for all things shipping. If you’re doing ecom; you should book at least one call with Ryan.”

What every story has in common

Each one started with the same four steps.

Whether the outcome was a 25% saving, a four-day search, or a decision to stay put, the process behind it was identical.

1
Brief the search

We document volumes, channels, SKUs, integrations and service must-haves, then agree what a win looks like before any 3PL is contacted.

2
Shortlist the right 3PLs

From 5,000+ providers in the directory, we shortlist the handful whose size, systems and vertical actually match — never whoever pays for placement.

3
Model the true cost

Line-by-line cost modelling across every quote, plus site visits and back-channel references, so the comparison is apples to apples.

4
Negotiate and transition

We negotiate the agreement and stay on through onboarding. 3PLs pay us nothing, so the advice stays on your side of the table.
