Jetpack vs ShipMonk

Considering ShipMonk as your 3PL?
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.

Two Philosophies of Customer Care

MonkProtect waits to be told. Delivery IQ already knows.

MonkProtect is ShipMonk’s paid add-on, and it waits for your customer to complain. Delivery IQ is Jetpack’s AI monitor, included with every order, built so your customer never has to be the one who notices.

A package goes missing
ShipMonkMonkProtectPaid add-on

Before: nothing is watching

  • Customer notices
  • Finds the portal
  • Files the claim
  • Waits 3-5 days
JetpackDelivery IQIncluded
  • AI watches every shipment
  • Flagged at-risk early
  • You already know
  • You proactively reach out to your customer
  • Reship on your timing
  • Credit on your invoice

Your customer was never supposed to find out. Delivery IQ tells your team first, so the outreach comes from you with a replacement on the way, not from an annoyed customer who had to find a claims portal.

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: your inventory is yours to move whenever you want.

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 DTC brands shipping 1,000+ orders a month, yes, and the differences are concrete. Jetpack fulfills from 60+ warehouses across the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia, while ShipMonk's site lists 10 owned facilities. Jetpack quotes one all-in rate per order, a single number you can plan margins around, instead of itemized pick fees plus a monthly-minimum fee. And instead of ticket-based support, every Jetpack brand gets a dedicated Jetpack Care team in Slack. The differences you'll feel daily are the scale of the network and the shape of the relationship.

ShipMonk doesn't publish rates. Per its pricing page, quotes are built from itemized pick fees plus a Monthly Minimum fee determined alongside your projected order volume. Jetpack also quotes to your volume, but the shape is different: one all-in rate per order covering pick, pack, shipping, and standard packaging, with storage and receiving on their own transparent lines and no setup or processing fees. Request a quote to see your number.

Jetpack fulfills from 60+ warehouses spanning the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia. ShipMonk's locations page lists 10 owned facilities across the US, Canada, UK, and Czech Republic, with no Australian site listed. Network size compounds: with more hubs to place stock in, MultiHub IQ distributes your inventory closer to your buyers, cutting shipping costs by up to 30% and speeding transit up to 3x compared to shipping everything from one warehouse.

ShipMonk runs in-house support teams, including onsite teams at its fulfillment centers. Jetpack's model is structurally different: every brand gets a dedicated Jetpack Care team in your own Slack channel. You message the people who know your products and workflows, get answers in minutes, and never re-explain context to a stranger. The same team audits your invoices weekly, files eligible lost-in-transit claims automatically, and pursues them until the credit lands on your invoice.

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; check your current agreement for notice terms, and we'll time the cutover around them. Book the call whenever you're ready.
