Amazon SPN certified · Discounted carrier rates · Nationwide 2–4 day ground
Tampa Bay is one of the fastest-growing ecommerce markets in the country — and most of its sellers import through the West Coast and sell to all 50 states. We put your fulfillment where that math works: FBA prep at the port, nationwide DTC from one shelf, and 5-day ground back home to the Bay.
3PLGuys is an Amazon SPN-certified 3PL serving Tampa brands from Paramount, CA. We prep FBA shipments routed to TPA1, TPA2, and LAL1, run nationwide ecommerce fulfillment with 2–4 day ground to 95%+ of U.S. buyers, and pass our volume-discounted UPS, FedEx, and USPS rates into your per-order quote. Tampa Bay itself — St. Pete, Clearwater, Brandon, Sarasota — delivers in 5 business days, with same-day processing before 2 PM PT.
Amazon distributes your FBA inventory nationwide no matter where it's prepped — so the smart question isn't "which 3PL is closest to me," it's "which 3PL is closest to where my inventory enters the country." For most Tampa sellers, that's the Ports of LA/Long Beach:
FNSKU labeling, poly-bagging, bundling, carton compliance, and pallet builds to Amazon spec. Shipments route to the FCs serving the Tampa market — and wherever else Amazon's routing splits your inventory.
Most Tampa Amazon sellers import through the West Coast. Our warehouse sits minutes from the Ports of LA/Long Beach — containers unload straight onto our dock, get prepped, and go to Amazon without a cross-country truck first.
When FBA stock runs dry or fees spike, we ship your Amazon orders merchant-fulfilled from the same inventory pool — no listing downtime, no emergency restock scramble.

Tampa brands rarely sell only to Tampa. From a Florida warehouse, the entire West Coast sits 5 ground days away — the slowest, priciest lane on the chart, pointed at a third of the country.
Fulfilling from Paramount flips it: 95%+ of U.S. buyers land within 2–4 day ground, and Tampa Bay — the market you can visit in person — takes the long lane. One inventory pool, every channel, the whole map covered.

B2B / Wholesale
Wholesale into retailers and distributors with EDI integration, routing-guide compliance, and appointment-based DC deliveries. Your DTC and B2B orders pull from one inventory pool — no channel splits.
Subscriptions
Monthly kitting cycles, per-cycle packout changes, and batched label runs with ReCharge, Loop, and Cratejoy integrations. Tampa Bay's fitness and wellness subscription brands are a core client profile.
The June–November question
A Gulf Coast warehouse can go dark for days when a storm hits — receiving stops, carriers suspend pickups, and every order in every state waits. Keeping inventory in California means the storm only ever affects deliveries into Florida (we monitor carrier alerts and flag those), while orders to the other 49 states keep shipping without interruption. For Tampa brands, that's not a compromise — it's continuity planning.
