Which 3PL providers offer competitive duty deferment terms for spirits at scale (30+ pallets monthly)?

Members recommend a small set of established 3PLs for duty deferment warehousing. Duty deferment terms can vary significantly between providers and time periods, so it's worth shopping around even with larger incumbents. **Recommended providers:** - **EHD London** — members report good service - **Law Distribution** — well-regarded; contact Stan Moyser. Note: one member reported they weren't being competitive on duty deferment rates at the time of discussion, so rates may fluctuate **Caveats:** Members note that duty deferment competitiveness varies over time and between accounts. Tenens and LCB are larger established players but members specifically asked for alternatives, suggesting price/terms pressure in the market. For 30+ pallets monthly, it's worth requesting duty deferment terms explicitly and comparing quotes across providers.
