The Southeast shipping advantage.

When brands think about 3PL locations, they default to LA, New Jersey, or Dallas. But the math often tells a different story. Where your warehouse sits determines your shipping costs and delivery speeds — and a Southeast location often wins.

The zone problem.

Carriers price based on zones — distance between warehouse and delivery address. A package from LA to New York crosses more zones (costs more) than the same package from Mississippi. Coastal warehouses are great for one side of the country but expensive for everything else.

Central Mississippi by the numbers.

Ground shipping from Central Mississippi reaches roughly 80% of the US within 2-4 business days. Southeast markets (Atlanta, Dallas, Nashville, Houston) are 2-day ground. Even the coasts are reachable in 4 days. Compare that to LA: fast to the West Coast, but 5+ days to the East where most people live.

The cost savings.

Warehouse rent in Central Mississippi is a fraction of coastal metro costs. Those savings get passed to clients. Our clients regularly see 30-50% lower freight costs compared to coastal 3PLs, combined with delivery speeds that compete with more expensive locations.
