Prioritize WMS integration and API connectivity, slotting and pick‑pack efficiency, inbound receiving throughput, dock count and container handling, flexible labor pools for peaks, and value‑added services (kitting, labeling, returns). Also evaluate KPIs for accuracy, on‑time shipment and scalability options to add capacity or locations as demand grows.

A Jinhua 3PL offers shorter inland transit to Zhejiang ports and regional hubs through direct road and rail links, improving predictability for domestic last‑mile delivery and consolidation into export lanes. Expect closer access to regional LTL networks, competitive FCL consolidation options, and reduced in‑transit variability versus distant inland nodes.

Negotiate transparent unit economics: storage (per pallet vs per SKU), pick/pack and handling fees, inbound receiving and QC charges, minimums and labor surge fees, billing cadence, SLA credits, and notice periods for volume changes or termination. Include performance KPIs, true‑up mechanisms for seasonal variance, and clear definitions for value‑added work to control total cost‑per‑order.
