Most 3PLs focus on volume. We focus on you.
At Great Lakes Fulfillment, we treat every client like a partner — not a ticket number. You’ll get hands-on support, full transparency, and systems designed to scale with you, not slow you down.
Founder-Led Support
Get real answers fast. You'll work directly with people who’ve run an e-commerce brand — not junior reps or a faceless support queue.
Fragile Item Experts
Beauty, health, and high-care products are our specialty. We handle them with care, ensuring every customer gets a perfect unboxing experience.
Midwest Advantage
Ship faster and cheaper to the entire U.S. Our Michigan-based warehouse gives you ideal coverage without coastal delays or inflated rates.
Scales With You
Whether you’re at 50 or 1,000 orders a month, our systems grow with you — no need to switch 3PLs later.
Real-Time Tracking
Monitor orders and inventory live. Our dashboard gives you visibility and peace of mind, so you're never left guessing where things stand.
No Hidden Fees
Flat pricing. No surprise charges. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying — and what you’re getting in return.
We’ve Been Where You Are
Before Great Lakes Fulfillment, we were e-commerce operators just like you — shipping over 50,000 orders and managing more than $500,000 in inventory. We packed orders late at night, navigated the challenges of fragile health and beauty products, and dealt with winter shipping delays, inventory headaches, and customer expectations. We didn’t find a 3PL that truly understood the grind — so we built one. GLF was created for brands shipping 50 to 1,000 orders a month who need more than a warehouse: they need a partner. Based in Madison Heights, Michigan, we provide fast, reliable shipping with hands-on support and founder-level care — so you can focus on growth, not logistics.

Sarah K.
Founder & Creative Director
“From day one, the onboarding process was seamless. I didn’t have to explain things twice. Their Midwest location helped reduce shipping delays for our customers, and we’re now seeing better reviews because of it. What stands out most is the clear communication — no waiting days for a reply.”
