Everything you were about to ask.

A 3PL is a warehouse with a picking team. Freedom is an operating partner. We source stock order-by-order (no pre-buy risk), ship from Shenzhen express lanes (not a suburban Australian warehouse), and plug into an AI-native dashboard that shows you every fee in real time.

Traditional 3PLs also force 12-36 month contracts and monthly minimums. We have neither. You pay per order, leave any time.

No. Every unit is sourced when the order is placed. Your capital stays in your ad account, not on a shelf. This is the single biggest shift for dropshipping and DTC operators scaling past A$100K/month.

None. We onboard brands doing 10 orders a day and brands doing 10,000. Same rate card, same portal. Scale discounts apply automatically as volume grows.

Seven days. Day 1 is a 30-min discovery call and MSA signing. Days 2-3 are Shopify integration and packaging setup. Days 4-6 are a 50-order dry run. Day 7 is full cutover.

Typically 3-5 business days door-to-door from our Shenzhen ops centre to AU, UK, US, NZ, and EU metros. Remote postcodes can add 1-2 days. Tracking is live from the moment the label prints, posted back to Shopify within 2 minutes.

Yes — from mailer bags and shipping boxes to tissue, tape, insert cards, and thank-you notes. Packaging is quoted separately at cost (no margin). Brand+ and Empire plans include custom packaging as standard.

One weekly invoice, itemised by order. Every line shows: picking and packing, shipping cost (pass-through), sourcing margin, packaging. Paid via Stripe (AUD / USD / GBP). Auto-synced to Xero for your bookkeeper. No surprises at month-end.

We replace it within 24 hours. You pay nothing on the replacement. We investigate the root cause internally — whether it is a carrier issue, a QC miss, or a packing error — and fix the process. The customer never feels our ops friction.

Yes. AU returns come to our Sydney hub. UK and US returns go to local partner hubs. We coordinate refund or replacement with you, then disposition the unit (restock, liquidate, or discard based on condition).

Shopify (orders, fulfilments, tracking, inventory), Stripe (billing), Xero (accounting), 17Track (customer tracking), Klaviyo (post-purchase flows), YunExpress (shipping). Custom ERP or WMS integrations available on Empire plan.

No. Our MSA is month-to-month. If you want to leave, you give 30 days notice and we transition your Shopify integration cleanly. We would rather earn your business every week than trap you in it.
