Considering Flexport for fulfillment?
Meet Jetpack first.

I would tell anyone to switch in a heartbeat! Hands down, I honestly don't think that there's another company out there who could or is doing more than what you guys are doing in terms of support.

Flexport’s Fulfillment Network

Five hubs in one country.
Sixty across three.

Flexport inherited Deliverr’s smart-placement model and runs it well: AI-placed inventory across five US fulfillment centers, with fast-shipping badges where stock sits close. Jetpack runs the same play on a bigger map: 60+ centers across three continents, with MultiHub IQ deciding where your inventory lives.

A typical 3PL

One warehouse. Every order crosses the country, zone by zone.

Flexport

Five US hubs, placed by an AI demand model, with fast badges near stock.

Jetpack

MultiHub IQ spreads your stock across 60+ centers automatically: standard-rate delivery, as low as 1-3 days nationwide.

The placement brain is real on both sides; the difference is the map it gets to play on. MultiHub IQ works with 60+ centers on three continents, so the same intelligence also covers your UK, EU, and Australian buyers, with published results: up to 30% lower shipping cost and up to 3x faster transit.

Flexport vs Jetpack

Their queue has targets.
Your Slack has people.

Flexport puts real support commitments in writing: weekday live chat, phone, and ticket response targets printed in its help center. That’s more than many 3PLs publish. Jetpack skips the queue entirely: a named team lives in your Slack, and most replies land in under a minute.

  • The whole billing chain audited weekly: errors flagged and reimbursed wherever possible.

Flexport is a freight powerhouse, and if ocean containers are your hardest problem, that gravity works in your favor. If growing a parcel brand is, Jetpack was built for exactly that: 60+ centers on three continents, one all-in rate, and a team in your Slack that treats your customers as its own.

Working with Jetpack doesn’t feel like working with a vendor. They genuinely care about our business, proactively solve problems, and provide lightning-fast response times.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Three things set Jetpack apart: Jetpack Care, our IQ engine suite, and radical transparency. Jetpack Care: every brand gets a dedicated team on Slack that knows your products, workflows, and priorities, not a ticket queue, not a chatbot. Three proprietary IQ engines handle the rest: MultiHub IQ uses ML to position inventory across 60+ warehouses by customer geography; Carrier IQ optimizes carrier selection per package in real time; Delivery IQ monitors shipments in transit, flagging delays before your customer notices and auto-filing claims when eligible. All-in rate cards: no monthly, emergency, or processing fees. No long-term contracts.

3PL pricing usually has four parts: storage, billed by the space you use; receiving, billed for the time it takes to check your inventory in; pick-and-pack, billed per order and per item; and shipping, billed by weight, size, and zone. What you pay depends on the provider and your volume. Jetpack's pricing strips out the fees most 3PLs pile on: no per-order processing fee, no charge for standard packaging like boxes and poly mailers, and no charge for your first pick. Then three levers pull the rate down: the combined volume of 5,000+ brands on our network, Carrier IQ routing every order to the lowest-cost carrier, and MultiHub IQ placing inventory closer to your buyers, which cuts zone-4+ shipments by up to 85% and overall costs by up to 30%.

Jetpack is generally built for brands shipping 1,000+ orders per month across all channels combined. That said, we love hearing from newer brands building something exciting. If you're early-stage and we believe in what you're building, we'll talk through what it would take to invest and grow together. Reach out for a conversation. Otherwise, crowdfunding fulfillment and startup fulfillment are good stepping stones until the volume catches up.

For parcel-first ecommerce brands, yes. Flexport's fulfillment arm (the former Deliverr network) runs five US fulfillment centers with AI inventory placement and fast-shipping badges, inside a company whose core business is global freight. Jetpack is fulfillment-first: 60+ centers across the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia, MultiHub IQ placing stock near your buyers, one all-in rate per order, and a dedicated Jetpack Care team in your Slack instead of a ticket queue. Jetpack asks for 1,000+ monthly orders to join, and from there you pay the all-in rate on the orders you ship.

Flexport fulfillment is the ecommerce arm of Flexport, the global freight forwarder. It grew out of Deliverr, which Shopify acquired in 2022 and sold to Flexport in 2023 as part of Shopify Logistics. Today it runs five US fulfillment centers with AI-driven inventory placement, fast-shipping badges for marketplaces, B2B retail programs, and cross-border delivery from US stock. This page compares it with Jetpack side by side, from network size to support model.

Shopify acquired Deliverr in 2022 and folded it into Shopify Logistics, then sold that logistics business to Flexport in 2023. Deliverr's network and placement technology became Flexport's fulfillment product, which has since consolidated to five US fulfillment centers. If you were a Deliverr or Shopify Fulfillment Network merchant, Flexport is where that service lives now, and this comparison is the one to run before deciding where to go next.

Yes. Flexport's help center publishes a $5,000 monthly minimum spend on all accounts starting January 1, 2026, up from the $500 minimum introduced in 2025, and accounts that spend less are billed the difference. Flexport's own guidance says brands under roughly 500 orders per month are the ones most likely to be affected. Jetpack works differently: a volume floor of 1,000+ monthly orders across channels to join, and from there you pay the all-in rate on the orders you actually ship.

Flexport's per-order fulfillment rates live in a rate card behind its seller portal login, and its help center publishes the fees around them: storage at $0.81 per cubic foot per month ($2.40 from October through December), per-service fees for returns, prep, and EDI connections, and a $5,000 monthly minimum spend from 2026. Jetpack quotes one all-in rate per order covering pick, pack, shipping, and standard packaging, priced on the order's total weight with a flat 30 cents per additional pick, and no setup or processing fees. Request a quote to see your number.

Start with a call, and we'll come back with an all-in rate card and a full transition plan. From there it's a guided transfer: our team builds the inventory math and the logistics requirements, then connects your sales channels and coordinates the inventory move while your current operation keeps shipping. Most brands are fully live in 2-3 weeks, and it takes far less of your own time than you'd expect. Jetpack has no lock-in contracts on our side, and Flexport's published fulfillment terms let you cancel at any time, so the cutover is yours to schedule. Book the call whenever you're ready.
