Which 3PL and fulfillment providers should we use for D2C and trade distribution?

Members evaluating 3PL providers are actively tendering and comparing options. The main providers in consideration are: - **FuturePro** — members currently using this provider note that aspects of service are good, but prices are reported as very high - **Diamond** — on members' tender lists - **Hutch** — a newer option being considered; members seeking feedback on experiences - **Fodabox** — current provider for some, but members report the service "isn't rocking our world" Members are actively running formal tenders to compare options and seeking peer feedback on experiences with these providers. The key tension appears to be balancing service quality against cost, with FuturePro delivering good service at premium pricing. No detailed performance data was shared in the discussion about the other providers.
