Frequently Asked Questions

These are the most commonly asked questions about Middle Mile. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us at middlemile@pattern.com.

Who is Pattern?

Pattern is the category leader for global ecommerce and marketplace acceleration. Since its founding in 2013, Pattern has profitably grown to more than 1,700 employees operating from 22 global locations. As the #1 Amazon shipper, we manage millions of units weekly for hundreds of brands.

What is Pattern Middle Mile?

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 one Pattern 3PL warehouse at a single low price, and we'll take it from there. It's a faster, lower-cost solution that removes the complexity from the equation.

How does Middle Mile work?

After creating your orders on Amazon Seller Central, ship your labeled cartons into one Pattern 3PL cross-dock warehouse and we'll deliver them to their destined Amazon fulfillment centers for you. Pay per cubic volume and save big.

What does Pattern gain from Middle Mile?

First and foremost, Amazon inbound fees have created challenges for all sellers and at Pattern, we want to be part of the solution. With our world-class warehouse tech and automation, we are able to take on significant volume to help sellers using the network we've already built. We already have significant volume that we ship all over the US, so adding your shipments to our volume is a win-win for everyone. Working together, we can all reduce costs and provide better inventory placement and speed.

What other 3PL services do you offer?

We also offer Marketplace Prep:
- Ship your products to Pattern
- Pattern completes all prep per marketplace requirements
- Pattern ships your products to marketplaces at scale
We also offer comprehensive, carrier agnostic Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) shipping. Contact us at middlemile@pattern.com to learn more.

Why isn't my estimate complete after I enter my data in the calculator?

We gather data from Amazon's product catalog and created shipments to provide an estimate. If product dimension data or box dimension data for some products/boxes are missing, we do not provide an automated quote. However, you can still create your own quote if you sign up for an account and connect your Seller Central account. Once you do this, you'll be able to select shipments to send to Pattern and can refine your quote by clicking "Define volumes" under "Want a more accurate quote?"

How am I charged for shipments?

We charge a rate per-cubic foot for your shipment. While we showed 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.
