Starting in 2024, we made our fulfillment capabilities that power our core business available to customers who may not want to use our wholesale buy/sell model. This means that all the technology and processes that we’ve built to scale our business are now available for your business. We are the best in the business for marketplace fulfillment, with Pattern Marketplace Prep, Pattern Middle Mile, and Pattern DTC.
Pattern Middle Mile answers the seller's dilemma about Amazon's inbound placement fees: do you pay Amazon a hefty fee to send FBA orders into one Amazon fulfillment center or do you increase shipping costs by splitting shipments to many fulfillment centers? Middle Mile provides a simpler solution: send your orders into Pattern's 3PL warehouses with optimized pricing, and we'll take it from there. It's a faster, lower-cost solution that removes the complexity from the equation.
After creating your orders on Amazon Seller Central, ship your labeled cartons into Pattern's cross-dock warehouses and we'll deliver them to their destined Amazon fulfillment centers for you, with low pricing based on regions we ship to, fulfillment center type, and the originating warehouse location.
You can either schedule a delivery appointment using GoRamp, or we can work with you to pick up your product and deliver it to our warehouses.
Our average time from Pattern’s outbound dock to Amazon’s inbound dock in fewer than 2 days. During peak season, our average is 4.3 days.
We calculate charges based on source warehouse, destination FC zone, and FC type. For more information, please see our pricing details.
While we show you estimates within the console, we won't charge your card until those cartons are first scanned through a vision tunnel at our facility to get an accurate volume calculation and then departed on an Amazon-bound truck. Your credit card on file will be charged weekly for all your shipments that leave our warehouse. You may see a temporary hold on your account to verify your credit card.
We also offer Pattern Marketplace Prep, which provides faster shipping and helps you avoid inbound placement fees by shipping your product to Pattern’s cross-dock warehouse and letting us take care of splitting shipments and transportation.
We also offer comprehensive, carrier-agnostic Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) fulfillment.
