Looking for a Savannah 3PL for order fulfillment and logistics?
At Red Stag, we help brands in Savannah (and beyond) efficiently fulfill to Georgia (and beyond).
But there’s a twist: for most ecommerce brands, Savannah (and really all of Georgia) is a less-than-optimal place for a 3PL.
Scroll down and we’ll show you why.
You probably shouldn’t have a 3PL in Savannah.
That might sound strange.
After all, Savannah has some nice benefits:
Port of Savannah is one of the fastest-growing on the East Coast.
Lower costs vs. Northern states in labor/real estate.
Score 2 points for a Savannah 3PL, right?
Maybe. But consider total cost of fulfillment.
Port proximity and customer location are just two pieces of a much bigger puzzle.
Here are some other important factors:
Atlanta traffic
Congestion can delay shipment pickups and deliveries.
High humidity
Storage requirements may demand climate control.
Severe weather
Tornadoes/hurricanes can strike certain areas.
Rural infrastructure gaps
Less-developed roads outside metro hubs.
Even if it’s not your warehouse,
your 3PL is paying these costs, and passes them straight to you.
At Red Stag, we don’t have a Savannah location.
Instead, we’re a 3PL laser-focused on two things:
minimizing your total fulfillment costs and delivering exceptional customer experiences nationwide.
There are exceptions to our you shouldn’t be in Savannah statement, of course.
But for most brands looking to optimize for total cost of fulfillment while hitting 2-day delivery nationwide, our two strategic inland locations in Salt Lake City and Knoxville deliver better results.
You also don’t need to take our word for it
So you think you need more that 1 warehouse…
Here’s the cost of a 1lb package using an economy service from the best location and combination.
$5.32 – Springfield MO
$5.12 – Rancho CA + Charlotte NC
$5.05 – Rancho, Springfield, and Philly
YOU DON’T.

My wholesale 3pl went bankrupt in q3.
Their client list included:
– a dtc hemp drink company
– a mattress company
– a chocolate company
All shipping from San Francisco, the most expensive real estate in the world…
I wonder why they went bankrupt????

The propaganda machine of the larger 3PLs has consultants and supply chain professionals brainwashed.
If you’re an e-commerce founder and you’re not producing close to 5 million in GMV, or you only ship 50-100 orders per day, you don’t need to worry about how many locations your 3PL has.
You also don’t need to be in Texas either. Here’s why:
You will pay more. This is not up for debate.
Freight, storage, management, split shipments—I’ve heard brands need to carry 30% more inventory. You’re chasing a ghost.
Even Amazon barley cares if you get your product in 2-days anymore.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a warehouse in Savannah?
Maybe not. Many companies find that it’s better to have fulfillment warehouses strategically located in other places for faster delivery to more customers.
That’s why Red Stag has fulfillment centers in Knoxville, TN and Salt Lake City, UT. From these central locations, you can reach 96% of U.S. homes within two days. Depending on transportation networks and customer locations, delivery from Savannah, GA could take longer.
How many fulfillment centers do I need?
An ecommerce business that sells nationwide probably needs more than one warehouse, but too many can stretch your resources and leave you without the right stock in the right place at the right time.
Two strategically located fulfillment warehouses could be ideal for many businesses, even large ones. The right locations connect you to the geographic infrastructure you need, leading to lower storage costs and more reliable transportation.
How do Red Stag guarantees work?
Red Stag Fulfillment has guarantees you’re unlikely to find anywhere else in the industry.
We guarantee 100% of your orders will be shipped on time or we’ll cover the cost of the shipment and give you an extra $50.
We also guarantee 100% order accuracy. If we ship the wrong item or wrong number of items, we will fix the mistake, pay the shipment cost, and give you an extra $50.
Why do we pay $50? Because fulfillment mistakes hurt your business. And as your partner, we believe they should hurt ours too. This keeps our incentives aligned and makes sure we’re always working toward the same goals.
What should I consider before choosing a Savannah 3PL for my fulfillment?
There’s a lot more than just location to consider. When evaluating 3PLs in Savannah, GA for your fulfillment operations, consider these crucial factors:
- How are accuracy and errors handled by the 3PL?
- Does the 3PL integrate with your store’s platform?
- Do they have expertise in handling your specific products?
- Are they capable of growing alongside your business?
