Hi everyone, we had a conversation about 3PLs a few months ago and I remember someone recommended a smaller German one that is very reliable but doesn't have the best website or marketing. Unfortunately I forgot to save it, if you remember at all would you be able to share contacts again? Or if any of you has contacts for EU-based 3PLs that accept low volumes, any recommendation would be helpful. We keep having issues importing into the EU with the IOSS system, so we want to bite the bullet and get a small amount of stock there to be able to push properly in the region.

Hey, we’re also looking for a new 3PL and have been speaking with Hive Technologies - they started in Berlin and now operate in France, Italy, and the UK (I believe). We're still at the RFP stage but really impressed so far: great tech, competitive pricing, 4pm cutoff for next-day delivery, and no penalties with minimums starting at 100 orders/month.

I’ve dropped their contact details below in case it’s helpful:
lydia.randles@hive.app|lydia.randles@hive.app (UK contact)
hive.app

If anyone’s worked with Hive and has feedback, would love to hear it!
