Comprehensive 3PL Solutions
Third-Party Logistics (3PL) services that handle your warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution — allowing you to focus on what you do best: growing your business.
1PL, 2PL, 3PL, 4PL — What’s the Difference?
Before explaining our 3PL services, it helps to understand the evolution of logistics outsourcing. Each level represents increasing responsibility and integration.
1PL — First-Party Logistics
The manufacturer or supplier handles logistics internally using their own resources. Example: A factory in China owns its own trucks to move finished goods to the port.
2PL — Second-Party Logistics
Asset-based carriers provide transportation services. The client manages coordination. Example: A manufacturer hires a shipping line to move containers but handles documentation internally.
3PL — Third-Party Logistics
An external provider manages multiple logistics functions — warehousing, transportation, customs, and distribution — as an integrated service. Example: A brand outsources its U.S. distribution to Mezinni: we receive containers, warehouse inventory, pick/pack orders, and ship to customers.
4PL — Fourth-Party Logistics
A lead logistics provider manages the entire supply chain ecosystem — overseeing multiple 3PLs, carriers, and technology providers. Example: A company hires Mezinni to design and manage their global supply chain across multiple countries and partners.

Real-World Example: How 3PL Works
A European fashion brand wants to sell in the U.S. market from China
but has no warehouse or staff there.
Without 3PL
Rent warehouse space, hire staff, buy equipment, negotiate with carriers, set up systems — months of work and significant investment before the first sale.
With Mezinni as 3PL
Ship container of inventory from China to our U.S. warehouse. We receive, inspect, and put away stock. Orders placed on their website are transmitted to our system. We pick, pack, and ship directly to U.S. customers within 24 hours. The brand sees real-time inventory and tracking in their own system.
Result: The brand enters the U.S. market in weeks, not months, with zero capital investment in logistics infrastructure.
